I saw this on a computer hardware news/review site/forum a week or so ago... thought about putting it in the show your guns thread.
EDIT: Here it is!

I'd say yes.
That same question was front page news in my local paper. Some "church" (cult) erected a billboard on a busy highway that's ruffled some feathers.

I really like those studio monitors that person has on their shelf. I can understand why he'd want to protect them.

I first heard about that a year or so ago when I saw a bumper sticker saying the rapture was coming May 21 2011.
I was like WTF, haven't heard of that one so I looked it up.
Some preacher guy supposedly did mathematical calculations from "hidden code" in the bible or something. Actually met a few people who subscribe to the theory.
In looking further, that date would be when the rapture occurs. The actual end of the world would then be Oct 23rd 2011. Yay, my birthday. Double use for party hats!
I wonder how long before you go blind sitting infront of a screen like that?
That's a myth. It's not the size that counts, and doing that won't make you go blind.
or something.

except he has yahoo up on his puter. A surviver would definitely have something cooler than that.

His mom's basement is so much cooler than my mom's. Maybe that is why I moved out.
On the far right, that looks like a cannon from an x-wing fighter.
Mmm... I'm not sure that's entirely legit. Does anyone else think the monitor on the right looks funny? First, it's bigger than the other "monitor" (tv) so why isn't he using it as the primary. Second, how come there's no reflection off the frame? There's a reflection on the other monitor, so why not that one? Third, isn't that arm that it's on look a little puny considering the size of the monitor? I've also never seen an arm for a TV that goes on the bottom like that one.

It looks to me like the monitor on the right is set up in "portrait" orientation, vs "landscape" like the main monitor. I can't explain the mounting arm, but I don't have a whole lot of experience mounting TVs and monitors, either.
I will, however, call bullshit based on the lack of tissue/lotion dispensers. [coffee]

Now why is everyone bagging on Izaak's (Ducatiz) basement?
;D
And as far as the mounting arm not looking strong enough to hold the screen; have you felt how light pure led displays have become lately?
the weapon on the far right looks like a M2 .50 cal machine gun with a non-standard muzzle brake/flash suppressor. Near it appears to be a German MG42 or MG3. I'm guessing film industry armorer.
yahoo japan???

You may not be too far off. I live in Missouri and the guys here who have collections like that (no joke. Seen them first hand) don't have gear like that. Not to mention that room is clean and not nearly full enough of ammo. Amateur, and a vain one at that.
My birthday is March 14. I cannot see how this is being missed, pregnant doges!!!
For truly it is significant as far as the end of the world is concerned....

March 14, steak and a blow job day.
Lightsaber in glass case next to the Barret .50 cal destroys all cool points that were gained by having an AT-4 (84mm high-explosive anti-tank rocket launcher) next to his .50 cal machine gun.

Upon further contemplation (yes, that's a clue I need to get a life), the MG42 might actually be modified to represent a heavy blaster rifle as used by Imperial Stormtroopers.
