March 2007 The same certain mad scientist's new invention goes a bit wrong when the number of visitors to see Erin drops (causing her to lose a lot of weight fast and changing the variables for the calculations etc). The machine dies causing a large amount of radiation to be released causing Erin to have Hulk like transformations when angry or annoyed. Uh oh...

April 2007 The formerly overcrowded Islands of Great Britain and Ireland are now only sparsely populated as those who weren't munched by Erin up and leave. Chorister stays on Dartmoor as she doesn't reckon Erin can hack the walk from Scotland, but other than that everyone emigrates.

NOVEMBER 2005: After the successful experiment of the Ark v3 the ship boards go 3D. Shortly after various shipmates report problems with their avatars. Dolphy is beached; Smudgie overheats; Pyx_e is proved to be physically as well as mentally unstable; Starbelly seeps through the floor; Chapelhead's pages are stuck together and TheGreenTea is sick of being used as crockery.

August, 2300

The mummy of St Graham of Kendrick is placed on display in an anonymous location, with a live streaming webcam link to the Ship. This causes an immediate division, with some Shipmates claiming St Graham has healing powers, and some declaring, and I quote, "Keyboards are only for typing".

The Ship becomes an independent nation, with its own constitution, government, flag and national anthem (after some discussion, Amazing Grace was dumped in favour of Jesus Loves Me). Citizen's rights become the subject of a record 600 threads across all boards, with some members campaigning against non-consultory message editing and perfunctory classification of messages. After a rebellion led by a faction of Jesuits, Smudgie is elected Empress, not because of her political or religious views, but because of her pro-chocolate stance.

The badly decayed body of Ken was removed from a London basement and taken to a laboratory, where it was discovered that his eating habits had actually caused every cell in his body to change into cow proteins. Strangely enough, his cells also contained about five percent human DNA - but it was not his own!!

Finally, rampaging Mystery Worshippers invaded a church in Lyon, France, and demolished it after being told for the five thousand and fifty-seventh time that there was no after service coffee. Said one dusty, bleeding, bruised MW, as he brandished a piece of stained glass, "I can't take it!! There's never any! Even a glass of water and a piece of cabbage would have been fine - but I've been a Mystery Worshipper for forty-eight years and I've never been offered a beverage!!"

SEPTEMBER 2007: The new movie Erin versus Miffy (with special guest star Gamera) debuts to record numbers.

JULY 2008: The new movie Erin versus Mecha-Erin debuts.

AUGUST 2008: On cable, Erin: The Animated Series debuts, and old Izod shirts are suddenly taking in record amounts of cash on eBay. The theme music ("Up from the depths, thirty stories high, breathing fire, her head in the sky...") becomes a smash CD.

Jan 3006 - Newbie starts thread called 'Harry Potter and the Giant Bottle of Gin Go To Mornington Crescent' in Heaven. Multiple simultaneous posts by TonyK, Smudgie, Fr Fiddleback, Dolphy, Chasmastr and Nightlamp set up such rapid oscillation of the thread between Heaven, Hell, MW and Dead Horses that the Ship is capsized.

Simon asks for money to refloat it.

Wood becomes Supreme Pan-Galactic Controller of Religious Affairs, putting him in charge of all major world religions and Anglo-Catholicism. No-one notices.

February 2010: Entire Roman Catholic Church, except for Pope Pius XIII and Mrs Bridget O'Flaherty excommunicated for lack of fidelity to the Magisterium.


June 2010: As a result of her excommunication,multipara establishes the New Improved Catholic Church and is elected Pope. All hymns written in the 1970s are banned and marriage according to orientation becomes compulsory for the clergy.

July 2010: Sine Nomine holds a dinner party.

August 2010: Pope Pius XIII issues his Anathema against the New Improved Catholic Church, supported with links to three encyclicals and the entire Catholic Encylopedia. Pope multipara I declares him Anti-Pope and calls him a shocker.

September 2010: Pyx_e pays a compliment to IntellectByProxy, who becomes seriously concerned for Pyx_e's health. Sine Nomine holds a dinner party.

October 2010: RooK is revealed as a 65 year Daughter of the American Revolution, with a fondness for interior design and Persian cats.

November 2010: Pope multipara I announces union with the remaining Anglo-Catholic churches in Sydney. They turn out to be more Catholic than the Pope.

December 2010: Nunc Dimmittis performs her heroic "Evensong for Mixed Voices with Ten Organs". At the first thunderous chord, Archbishop Jensen falls frothing on the floor. He is carried away on an altar with wheels.

January 2011: Martin PCNot's posts turn out to be a code, containing an unsuspected Mystery of Fatima.

2015: Laura, Duo Seraphim, Dyfrig, Tortuf, Presleyterian and the other lawyer-types desert the SoF to begin their own board, which they name "Ship of Shysters". After 6 months it is deemed a failure, as the only posters have been ChastMastr with a "Great board, guys! [Love] ", and Pyx_e and IbP wanting to sue each other for defamation of character.

2020: Biblical scholars determine that the actual translation of the passages in John 1 should read, "And the Wood became flesh and dwelt among us...", therefore leading them to declare that Wood is God. No one notices.

Dateline 7 September 2054 Cardiff, Wales

When Sir Kevin and Lady Carol (aka 'Zeke') return from their world tour, they retire to their stately Cumbrian manor. The Honourable Kevin Junior, all at sea when his nurse retires due to an overdose of photojournalism documentng said tour, (remember from earlier post where Sir Kevin's nurse drives, Lady Carol's nurse navigates or something and Junior's nurse takes photos) returns to his native Los Angeles and takes over the post of Mayor from his Uncle Todd! [Razz]

Of course, we take it for granted that you all remember how, after emigrating to the UK at age 60, Sir Kevin saved Welsh Water by taking over as Managing Director and thus made the New Year' Honours List in 2016.

By the way Simon's great-grandaughter Simone is doing a wonderful job of running the Ship! [Big Grin]

You're wrong there on that last one, Sir Kevin. By 2032, Erin has had herself cloned, and runs the Ship in perpetuity. Someone called Dyfrig posts periodically to ask who Wood is, but never gets any answer. Several people post to ask who Dyfrig is. Chorister has passed the million post mark, and changes her name to something that people can actually type straight off, such as C, to celebrate.

Two new boards have been started. One is called Heck, a lighter version of Hell where bunnies can play Blasted Word Association and Everlasting Effing Sentences to their hearts' content. The second is called Bilges, and is kept for trolls and passing lunatics. In its first week, it notches up a record million hits and is the most heavily posted on.

TnT has given way to the Seven Deadly Sins being featured each in turn. This year's theme is Gluttony, and the board is full of recipes, memories of gourmet meals, advice on indigestion, sharing of diet experiences, a couple of threads about the joys of puking and good places to throw up, and as a concession to the spirit of the boards one thread on St Paul's comments about what is and is not permissible for Christians to eat.

I'm none the wiser. Are we talking handguns, bottles of champagne, or hardboiled detectives?

Ice cream was the sole subject of your Seven Deadly Sins?

... Miffy angrily punched the others out of the way so she could get to the ice cream first, hoarding all the supplies and looking round for more in case anyone else had managed to get a bigger stash than she had. She then sensuously devoured as much as she could hold, and felt very proud of herself. She then sat around for a while thinking about doing it again ...

Well, I suppose it's possible.

The resulting revised timeline means that there's a slightly higher Democrate vote in Florida, George W Bush isn't elected as President and 95% of all threads in Purgatory disappear.

Don't cling to a mistake just because you spent a lot of time making it.

Al Gore moves into the White House. Nobody notices.
