And the twelve were with him, and also some women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary, called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out, and Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod's household manager, and Susanna, and many others, who provided for them out of their means.”Luke 24:1-12“But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, taking the spices they had prepared. And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they went in they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel. And as they were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen. Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee, that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and be crucified and on the third day rise.” And they remembered his words, and returning from the tomb they told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest. Now it was Mary Magdalene and Joanna and Mary the mother of James and the other women with them who told these things to the apostles, but these words seemed to them an idle tale, and they did not believe them. But Peter rose and ran to the tomb; stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths by themselves; and he went home marveling at what had happened.”

Episode 25: Jane ist wegen der Zeitumstellung eine Stunde zu spät und Renato hat sich unzählige Jane-Untergangs-Szenarien vorgestellt, aber nicht nur darum naht die Apokalypse! Sondern auch, weil ein Thema der Woche war: Volksmusik! Fun, fun, fun und Holldrio für die einen, der Untergang der Menschheit für die anderen und beides stimmt natürlich nicht. Jane ist dank „Opas Dirndl“ (so heisst eine Band, ganz ruhig) zur Anwältin der Neuen Volksmusik geworden und Renato Kaiser arbeitet seine Flöten-Traumata auf: is he still, is he still Reni from the Block? (Flöte.) Der Rattenfänger von Hameln, aber vegan? Oder wie Patti Basler sagen würde (sinngemäss): Ratten zu fangen, ohne sie zu essen, ist das nicht Food Waste? Renato's Thema der Woche war derweil: Klimaschutz. Und auch der geht durch den Magen. Und den Wagen. Und bei beidem regulieren wir uns wahnsinnig ungern. Steht also bald die Klima-Apokalypse bevor? Und wenn ja, was hat das mit der Schweiz zu tun? Oder mit der UBS? Oder mit Marco Rima? Erfahrt Ihr selbstverständlich alles vollumfänglich bei MUMFORD & KAISER. Later!

In this episode we've chosen a couple of near-future films in which humanity seems doomed for one reason or another. First up in our Double Feature is 1995's 12 Monkeys, directed by Terry Gilliam, involving a plague, time travel, mental illness and, of course, World War One. After the Intermission we're looking at Children of Men, co-written and directed by Alfonso Cuarón and released in 2006. Was there a plague? We don't know. Will this situation resolve? Again, we don't know. But for all the unknowns in this film, we get some powerful, powerful moments and we guarantee you'll want to watch this one several times. COMING ATTRACTIONS: We're going to lighten the mood a little bit with a couple of older films: Stage Door (1937), featuring Katharine Hepburn in the role that led to so many people doing the same Katharine Hepburn impression, and All About Eve (1950), featuring Bette Davis in the role that led to so many people doing the same Bette Davis impression. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/wordsandmovies/support

Why do mechanical watches seem so calming and down to earth? Why does the Apple Watch seem so intrusive? In this episode, we travel in time to consider old and new technologies up against each other, and how a mechanical watch once felt oppressive, and how the Apple Watch may one day seem disconnected and archaic. James Bond and Marlon Brando make a guest appearance via a listener essay at the end.

In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll explore some more curiosities and unanswered questions from Greg's research, including a pilot who saved Buckingham Palace, a ghost who confronted Arthur Conan Doyle, what Mark Twain learned from a palm reader, and a bedeviling superfluity of Norwegians. We'll also discover a language used only by women and puzzle over a gift that's best given sparingly. Intro: Horatio Nelson's coffin was fashioned from the mast of a French flagship that he had defeated. In 1994 the city council of Green River, Wyoming, designated an airstrip south of town as an "intergalactic spaceport." Sources for our feature on notes and queries: The story of the Singapore tiger shooting appears in this history of the Raffles hotel. Neil Kagan's 2013 book The Untold Civil War alleges that the 15th Wisconsin Volunteer Regiment was so thick with Norwegians that it contained dozens of men named Ole Olson. The Norwegian American Genealogical Center says that the Roster of Wisconsin Volunteers shows that the 15th had 128 men whose first name was Ole, 75 men whose last name was Olson, Olsen, or Oleson, but just 15 whose names were Ole Olson, Ole Olsen, or Ole Oleson. The anecdote about the Gettysburg ordinance is mentioned in Michael Sanders' 2006 More Strange Tales of the Civil War, which cites Gregory A. Coco's A Strange and Blighted Land, Gettysburg: The Aftermath of a Battle, 1995. I found it in Allen C. Guelzo's Gettysburg: The Last Invasion, 2013. Frances Wilson describes Titanic survivor Lawrence Beesley's visit to the set of A Night to Remember in her 2011 book How to Survive the Titanic, Or The Sinking of J. Bruce Ismay. The observation about John Ford's eye for camerawork appears in Robert L. Carringer's 1996 book The Making of Citizen Kane. Dan Murphy's Puritan name is spelled out in Willard R. Espy's An Almanac of Words at Play, 1975. (I first wrote about unusual Puritan names in 2009.) The two long names cited by H.L. Mencken appear in his 1921 study The American Language. Douglas Hofstadter describes Stanford art professor Matt Kahn's confetti illusion in his foreword to Al Seckel's 2004 book Masters of Deception. Mark Twain wrote about Cheiro's prophecy in his notebook in 1903. His affidavit regarding the palmist's insight into his character is described in Sarah E. Chinn's 2000 book Technology and the Logic of American Racism. Three sources regarding Georges Simenon's prolificity: Stanley G. Eskin, Simenon, A Critical Biography, 1987. Henry Anatole Grunwald, "World's Most Prolific Novelist," Life 45:18 (Nov. 3, 1958). Aubrey Dillon-Malone, Stranger Than Fiction: A Book of Literary Lists, 1999. Also in Stranger Than Fiction, Dillon-Malone says that Anthony Trollope's quota of seven pages a day would sometimes carry him out of one book and into the next. Dillon-Malone says he's quoting Malcolm Cowley, who indeed says as much in this Paris Review interview, but I'd like to confirm the anecdote. British fighter pilot Ray Holmes' severing of a Dornier bomber's tail is depicted in this painting. In his 2010 book Royal Prayer: A Surprising History, David Baldwin says "the whole engagement was captured on film," but I've never been able to find it. The best I've found is the opening moments of this National Geographic documentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lACDhxSLbYQ The anecdote about Arthur Conan Doyle in Africa is from Russell Miller's 2008 book The Adventures of Arthur Conan Doyle: A Biography. Among other places, the story about Kant's soul appears in Arthur Stone Dewing's 1903 Introduction to the History of Modern Philosophy. And Cornelia Parker's comment about her conversation with Noam Chomsky appears in "Apocalypse Later," Guardian, Feb. 11, 2008. Listener mail: Noah Shachtman, "They Cracked This 250-Year-Old Code, and Found a Secret Society Inside," Wired, Nov. 16, 2012. Wikipedia, "Copiale cipher" (accessed Dec. 8, 2016). "Scientists Crack Mysterious 'Copiale Cipher,'" Guardian, Oct. 26, 2011. Jon Watts, "The Forbidden Tongue," Guardian, Sept. 23, 2005. Wikipedia, "Nüshu script" (accessed Dec. 8, 2016).

Oh Boy....another Apocalypse Now. We suspect sooner rather than later, this woo shall turn into an Apocalypse Later. Markets are doing what they are supposed to do during panics: they are transferring stock from the hands of short-term speculators who are often too impatient into the hands of long-term investors building assets on the cheap. How many times do we need to see this before we get control of our emotions. Summer swoons are good in the long-run.

This week speak with documentary filmmaker, Zeke Piestrup. His 2014 film following the last days of earth's history—at least according to fundamentalist Christian, radio personality, and serial apocalypse predictor, Harold Camping. In 2011, Zeke was hired by Mr. Camping to create daily videos, chronicling the countdown to Armageddon. When the end of the world didn't come, Zeke turned these videos, and interview with scholars of religion and Biblical Studies, into a feature documentary.RECOMMENDED LINKSWatch the trailer for "Apocalypse Later: Harold Camping vs. the End of the World”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-_iUWLcwV8Watch “Apocalypse Later: Harold Camping vs. the End of the World” on...Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/movies/details/Apocalypse_Later_Harold_Camping_vs_The_End_of_the?id=t6TnNGXUHgYiTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/movie/apocalypse-later-harold-camping/id845689011Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Apocalypse-Later-Harold-Camping-World/dp/B00K2PLJ4Y/ Facebook page for Apocalypse Later: https://www.facebook.com/ApocalypseLaterHaroldCamping/Follow Zeke Piestrup on Twitter: https://twitter.com/harold_camping

Since the tragedy of 9/11, the masses have redefined the term "bad". Almost everything is bad now. We have created a new addiction - to fear, stress and angst. If we have nothing to fret over - we find something - we create it if need be. The security blanket of fear keeps us on an emotional DefCon 4 nearly 'round the clock. The problem? We have created an Apocalypse Now turns into an Apocalypse Later environment. Unhealthy indeed. Listen in and let us know.

In this week's episode, we meet a group of people so crazy that they're disappointed when their cracker isn't bleeding, Mother Teresa is rewarded for her breakthrough work in posthumous oncology, and Lucinda joins us to finish off the only book of the bible worth reading.  Plus dragons.
