At least we won't have to worry about gas prices anymore

According to a scholar of the Koran, the United States will cease to exist in 2007. A major terrorist attack? Fire and brimstone? No, a tsunami bigger than the one we just saw.
"The tsunami waves are a minor rehearsal in comparison with what awaits the US in 2007," the researcher concluded in his study. "The Holy Koran warns against the Omnipotent Allah's force. A great sin will cause a huge flood in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans."
Sadly, it's not his desire to preserve life that motivated him to announce his findings:
He said he decided to publish the findings of his research "out of a sense of responsibility because what is about to happen is extremely shocking and frightening." His fear, he said, is that the world economy, which relies heavily on the US dollar, would be deeply affected by the collapse of the US. "It would be fair to say that the world would be better off with a US that is not a superpower and that does not take advantage of weak nations than a world where this country does not exist at all," he added."The world will certainly lose a lot if and when this disaster occurs because of the great services that American society has rendered to the economy, industry and science."
"If and" when? I guess the Koran may not be entirely clear on this point after all. Also worth noting that the author is "a" scholar of the Koran, not necessarily a world-renowned scholar. There may be some dispute on his findings. An interesting read, though.
