If this is what ol’ Beady Eyes was on about for the 22nd of August, then I want my apocalyptic money back:
Iran attacked and seized control of a Romanian oil rig working in its Persian Gulf waters this morning one week after the Iranian government accused the European drilling company of “hijacking” another rig.
An Iranian naval vessel fired on the rig owned by Romania’s Grup Servicii Petroliere (GSP) in the Salman field and took control of its radio room at about 7:00 a.m. local time, Lulu Tabanesku, Grup’s representative in the United Arab Emirates said in a phone interview from Dubai today.
“The Iranians fired at the rig’s crane with machine guns,” Tabanesku said. “They are in control now and we can’t contact the rig.” The Romanian company has 26 workers on the platform, he said.
Hard to end the world when you’re given the tools that guys got to work with. Mere pirates and thugs, feh.

B2 – I thought August 22nd on this year’s Islamic calendar was the big Mohammed-rides-the-horse thing…
Maybe the Islamists missed out on the Gregorian calendar change, ca 1582. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gregorian_calendar
After all, they are seven centuries behind!
Maybe their bid for the Ebay particle accelerator, wasn’t the winning bid.
Maybe next year.
