Proof of the Apocolypse:

Noam Chomsky talking at West Point on CSPAN2. Never thought I would see that. Yet there it was on Monday night TV. (It was on Book TV, which won't come up right now, so I can't find out if there's a link to the actual show or not. Like you'd want to watch it, I know. It was classic Chomsky, though, which is always interesting.)

Proof I married well:
When the cadet goes up and gives Chomsky a gift at the end of his talk, Ted says, "What if it's the user manuel to his car?" HA!
