Are you familiar with the term 'tongue in cheek'? Or 'hyperbole'? Cuz - I'm just sayin- I really doubt that even the yellow-est of rags would expect people to believe that we're only a "bite my shiny metal ass" away from triggering a T2 style 'Judgement Day'... I'd say it's simply far more likely they were simply being facetious.

Yeah, i'm familiar with the concept of humor. No worries.
If so, that only makes your comment all the more puzzling, honestly
