I think there's something in it.

My wife has informed me that if I don't sort myself out by Friday she is going to put a rocket up my arse. I can only assume she loves me so much she is hoping that will save me by putting me clear of the devastation.

Roll on Saturday when we can all find another end of the world date to look forward to.

I found some salad dressing at the back of my fridge with a use by date of 21/12/12. 



I think it's Mayanaise...


that's silly.  there aren't 21 months in a year!!!


Maybe there is on the planet that's sending the aliens over to invade tonight?

every other country (plus the US military) write the date this way - get over it










arse

Well!  That certainly didn't take long to get down to name calling!  Hehe...   
 
(BTW - Kids wearing camo do NOT represent the US Military. )

Just 2 hours ago we had a complete black-out (which totally unusual for this part of the world). The entire town pitch black, the kids started to cry.
When I finally found a candle, I looked at the watch and said to my wife, "Well it's happening 6 hours early then. Who said it wouldn't???" And she got nervous ...

And I have plenty of ideas I want to work on.

The world will end when DuPont comes out with a new one. They will find a way of getting rid of this one and charging us a premium to live on the new one.

The sad part are the stories of people thinking about killing their children so they will not have to suffer.

Ray Bradbury story:  They all agreed the world would end on Friday, so they ALL killed their children Thursday night. And the world ended as expected.

Profound ignorance and stupidity prevail.

What story was that?
I've read most of Bradbury and I don't remember it.

The movie version of "The Last Night of the World,"  in the film "The Illustrated Man."

Been a while, but I remember the parents nuking the kids, and then wakening in the morning to realize what they have done.

What's this about a red "E"?

Could I have a violet "W"?

And, just why is a "W" pronounced like a "double U" when it really is a "double V"?

For lotsa reasons I would lay odds that the world will not end at a time when someone has said that it will end.

Mayan civilisation is very interesting, and the Wikipedia page on it is an excellent primer. ...
 
Reminds me, I haven't "updated" the Mayan entries lately. 
 
Wikipedia is sooo much fun to mess with!

I am looking at it from a reasonable, rational, scientific, celebration, viewpoint in Lansing Michigan.

I'm looking at it from inside the ruins of Aggie Weston's Knee-Salve and Lemon Squash factory - oiling up the sixty valve mink pounder and flesh dispersal silos as we speak.

Whew! Was quite relieved when my Doomsday Pod finally arrive this morning. Boy was I sweatin' bullets!
 
Then I discovered I had to put the stupid thing together. AAAAAAAAAAAAH! There's no time for this!
 
To make matters worse the only instructions were in French. This is just GREAT! 
 
HOURS LATER...
 
OK, so my neighbor speaks French, sort of, so he agreed to help me put it together but only if I let him in with me. What could I say? Anyway, we finally got the thing going. We're closing the door in just a few minutes. Wish us a happy new life somewhere out there.
 
BTW, the instructions say once I'm sealed inside, I won't be let out for 10 years to insure any nuclear fallout or bits and pieces of non believers or any other free radicals circulating through the cosmos are all gone and its safe to emerge.

If for some reason the end doesn't come I'm gonna need you guys to bring everything you've got and get me outa this thing, OK?
