At almost 60 years old, I've lost count of all the times I've heard the world is going to end.

Anyone old enough to remember all the predictions back in the late 60's about how over populated our country was and that we'd run out of food and fuel in less than 20 years ?
I beleved it too ..... until flying home from California to New York one night in the early 70's. There sure is A LOT of empty, unlit space between all those city lights !!!!!

If the world is gonna end, so am I, so why worry. At least I get out of having to do all those chores ! :D

This all reminds me of the old joke.

There's realy only two things in life to worry about!
Either your well, or your sick.
If your well, there's nothing to wory about. If your sick, there only two things to worry about.
Either you'll get well, or you'll die.
If you get well - nothing to worry about. If you die, there's only two thngs to worry about.
Either you got to Heaven, or to Hell.
If you go to Heaven - nothing to worry about. If you go to Hell....

...you'll be so busy shaking hands with your friends you won't have time to worry ! :D

Wasn't it supposed to end with the worlds computers all crashing together back in 2000? Planes falling out of the sky, trains running through stations, cities going dark, .... etc., etc. - One thing it did do, - was make a LOTTA folks wealthy writing/reporting about it.

It is strange that the Mayan calender and the ancient chinese calenders both end on the same date 12-21-2012 which just happens to be the galactic alignment which only comes around once every 26,000 years and is suposed to cause our planets magnetic poles to flip so if we do surive it will mean that we will need new compasses because the old ones will be pointing south!

What, exactly,causes the earth's magnetic poles to flip every 26,000 years on a specific day? Is this due to the gravitational pull of aligned galaxies?



Why didn't it end the last time this occurred?



People date back, what, 60 million years? We dodged the bullet 2307 times and now it's gonna end?



Civilization is going to perish because of a) clamshell product packaging and b) free healthcare. One is already here. Let's leave the galaxies out of it and concentrate on measures we can actually take.

well the world is not going to end because of the poles flipping but as they do which they say it will not happen overnight but over a period of time and there will be many magnetic spots  multiple north poles that will cause holes in the ozone as the poles flip and that we will be exposed to more radiation from the sun.I think it would be cool to be able to see an aurora borealis over N.Texas or will that be S.Texas?take a look at this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLSMAWVCxfQ

Looks like a good movie.....at least the speciall effects looked great.  Saw the extended version of the trailer yesterday night after "The Mentalist"....with L.A being ripped apart in an enormous earthquake and the actor and his family flying in a private jet through all the falling office towers.  I think California is going to float to Alaska  ha ha.

nasa is bombing the moon tomorrow.....this is going to kill innocent aliens and their mother planet will retaliate.  it will take about 2 years for their missile to reach earth and that will be DOOM'S DAY for us.  all life on earth will be destroyed because of obama didn't stop it. sure they have captured some humans and did scientific research on them but they always returned their specimens  back to earth.  that is no reason to go and kill them!!!! :emoticon:

No, you have it wrong.  The Moonies never kidnapped earthlings but the moon was used as  a base by those who did.  They hid on the Dark Side of the Moon.
Bomb the Moonies,  Moonites, Moonians, whoever.  And they never did anything wrong.

I watched the impact on the tv.  It was hard to see. I think NASA was using a Gamo PBA, for the necessary velocity, of course.  There's no water on the moon.  Everyone knows it is made out of green cheese.  If the world ends 12 whatever, we can all go to the moon and eat it.  You guys go ahead, early, and leave me your possessions to dispose of in an orderly fashion.  I will be sure to bring the money I get with me when I follow.
