Hold on to Your Hats!

**UPDATE: Here's the promised update. The news report was right -- it's now 5 mins till. Here is a press release on why...[yawn]**

Okay, that's sarcasm. I am referring to the "big announcement" coming at 9:30 AM EST (in 15 mins) from The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists, who manage the Doomsday Clock. They have created a little suspense with their announcement that, "[we] will launch a new website and have a major announcement" this morning in a conference. This news article claims to have inside information that the clock will be set to 5 mins till midnight. Big deal. The Clock has been a lot closer, and has little insight as to whether or not nuclear arms are already available on the black market.

I'll be updating this story shortly (in about 10 mins, I guess).
