    Default Orthodox monks in standoff with cave dwelling doomsday cult

    I guess you could make this stuff up, but in our world, you don't have to.

    Police and clergy in southern Russia are trying to negotiate with members of a doomsday cult barricaded inside a cave and threatening to blow it up.
    The group calls itself the "True Russian Orthodox Church". Members are waiting for the end of the world, which they are expecting to happen next May.

    They say they have enough food and water to last out the winter, as well as large quantities of petrol. The cult leader did not join them, and has been arrested by police.

    Russian television showed pictured of black-robed Orthodox monks scaling down into a snow-covered gully in a forest in the Penza region, about 650km (400 miles) south-east of Moscow. They are hoping to make contact with the 30 cult members believed to have sealed themselves in the cave.

    If I thought the world was gonna end next May, I would not seal myself into a cave.

    What's the problem? Help them seal the cave.
