End of the World this Saturday.

[Stress_Test]

Is it just me or does it seem like this time the end-of-the-world prediction got a lot more hype than these things usually do??

 

[EngrPaul]

It's perpetuated by news broadcasters who want to say "end of world at 9:00 tonight... details at 11:00".

It's a shame people who make false end of the world predictions aren't held accountable somehow. Why anyone even believes this guy after his last prediction in 1994 turned out wrong is beyond me.

On another note, I can predict that the world will end sometime between 4.5 and 5 billion years from now with some degree of certainty. That's when the sun will run out of fuel, swell to a red giant, and swallow the inner four planets.

My favorite is the one on the toilet! LOL

I live right next to Oakland, CA so I'm especially interested in what's going to happen in the next few hours. Will they just throw everything in the air, reject the "prophet" and egg him on, or commit mass...

...lawsuit?

We should have the apocalypse more often if the weather is this good; it's been 90 and steady here for a few hours, with a mild breeze, I just finished building a flower box for the backyard garden, got a little tan..

I wonder when the Terminators are going to start to popping up...

You gotta love the massive earthquakes that are ripping around the world right now!!!

So instead of an apocalypse, we get another Icelandic volcano eruption.

I'm just glad I'm not in Australia this time, waiting anxiously for ash clouds to disappear. :sigh:

The word is this volcano (the awesomely named Grimsvötn) is known to produce minor eruptions, not on the scale of the (more awesomely named) Eyjafjallajökul, so I suppose we shouldn't worry about ash clouds. Too much.

6 PM NY time and I'm still here.

Just went for a walk in the woods with family and friend. Looked vigilantly for signs of The End in every hollow, between every branch, beside every twig, and beneath every stone. Found a dead snake at the beginning of the hike near a gas line. Looked like it had died months ago.

It did rain on us for awhile, and the sky looked considerably darker to the south, towards White Plains and New York.

jtr1962, you sure there was no apocalypse down by you? Maybe it hit down on Long Island.

The dreaded 1800 Hours has come and gone here.


No plague of Locusts -- at least so far . . . .


However, the Mosquitoes DO seem particularly Intense this evening.


Wonder if that's how it begins ? ? ?



On the bright side:


i now have an additional 18 Months to complete my Spaceship !

Nothing unusual here besides some rain. I'll admit it was an ominous sign seeing the clouds gathering shortly before 6. "Hey, what if this guy's right?" actually entered my mind for a fraction of a second.

CPF down ... Now that would be the end of the world.

 

[Walkerdark]

Now it's 1 am Sunday morning, still here guess I'll have to go to work on monday...

I think they forgot to pass out the Kool-Aid.
