End times near?!

This week, and it's only Thursday, we have already witnessed several signs of the end. These may have been inadverently left out of John's Book of Revelations, but nonetheless they note that the world is closer to it's conclusion than it's beginning. Here's my short list:

• Devastating Tornados (a typical Revelation sign, but in January and February?!)
• Bobby Knight retiring
• Dickie Vitale returning to announce on ESPN
• Duke Blue Devils putting a stop to a 3 game winning streak of North Carolina
• and my missing Christmas present turned up at my husband's office

Is this the end or what?!?!
