I regret to inform you all that this is a false alarm.  Were the apocalypse to
be heralded by soft drinks, it would've arrived upwards of two and a half years
ago, with the test marketing (in various remote parts of Maine, one of which I
hail from) of Caffeine Free Diet Jolt.  Please relax, get out of your bomb 
shelters, loosen your sphincters, take a deep breath or two.  We are _not_ 
doomed.

Although I must admit, the doom of creation being prophesied by an object 
borne by Charles Schletzbaum _does_ have a rather convincing ring to it.

...I shall not want?  Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of Jer, 
I shall fear no art?
