Please. Everybody knows Thursday, as the Day of Thor, is the Intergalactic Sabbath, and union rules specify that planet dematerializers get paid double time if they have to work on an official holiday. In these tight economic times, I just don’t see that happening. Friday, at the earliest.
I have nothing to add, I’m only posting to get my million bucks…oh wait a minute…
All these millennia of the Long Count, and they still haven’t drawn the Aztecs offsides.
Don’t know about the end, but this is how yesterday morning started, at least.
I was curious about how many Ends Of The World I’ve lived through already. According to this liston the website ReligiousTolerance.org, it’s more than I expected. I fear that I must question the sincerity of Superdave the Wonderchemist, however.
There has to be an ethical way to profit from the End Of The World. Obviously one shouldn’t go around actively encouraging the notion unless you’ve got real proof; but what about offering to assume legal possession of other people’s troublesome worldly goods when the Day arrives? Would that be wrong?
Just because you haven’t been down to the corner, doesn’t mean it isn’t there. And all those pictures were faked by the same people who did the moon landing.
Remember, there’s nothing to sphere but sphere itself.
Ahhh bullpucky.
You youngins probably don’t remember this but dire predictions of the end of the World was for 2000…due to a blanket of AOL disks covering the world. That didn’t happen (though it WAS a close call) so I call bullpucky on this.
:rolleyes: Everyone knows the earth is round. It’s shaped like a large pizza (with sausage, pepperoni and extra cheese). There ARE no corners on a flat round earth of course. Haven’t you ever heard the scientist types refer to the earths ‘crust’???
And the thing with all of those pictures is they AREN’T faked…they simply show a round earth.

By the year 2054 AGW will have surpassed the tipping point and human life will be well on its way to extinction. Even the conservative movement will have tired of paying more for Air Conditioning and many will begin a reluctant march to Greenness.
This march to Greenness will cause the Right Wing to vote into the Presidency a candidate who is Green but has a hidden agenda: Extreme Liberal Values including Homosexual Unions.
When the Right Wingers realize what they have done, they will begin killing themselves in atonement and despair. The surviving few will then turn their wrath on the rest of the world and use their arms caches to slaughter the namby pamby left, who have long since managed to disarm everyone but the Right Wing Nuts.
AGW will slowly decline due to a diminished population and TEOTWAWKI from AGW will be averted.
In the year 2065, as the earth is recovering from the close brush with AGW, a large Comet will smite it and finish off everything but a few deep sea bacteria.
The end.
:rolleyes: As if conserving power on air conditioning follows political lines.
Sure it could end in 2012, but it might end sooner. Can you take the chance?
As a caring heretic, I offer a post-repture pet care package for true believers who are concerned for the care of pets that may be left behind. For a small monthly fee, I will contact you on a schedule of your choosing, and if you are no longer there, I will see that your pets are cared for to your specifications.
Other services offer to care for your pets “when news of the rapture streams from every television set.” I will not make the mistake of assuming that there will be enough people taken up to make the news, but will contact you personally, daily if necessary, to ensure that your pet is not abandoned. The number of the elect may be few indeed and I envy you your assurance of eternal bliss.
I can offer a notarized attestation of non-belief, so that you need not worry that your pet care backup will be lost to heaven. Call now for quotes.
End of the world insurance! For only $19.99 a month, we guarantee to pay out $1 billion in the event of the end of the world.
Some of you may be thinking – “I can’t collect on that, because I’ll be dead!”
Well, for only $29.99 a month, you’re covered for mildly catastrophic events in which up to 2% of humans actually survive! All that’s necessary is for all civilisation, government, laws, currencies and technology to be a thing of the past and you can cash in!
Just think of the comfort you and your loved ones could live in, as billionaires!
Whoooosh…
Or did you miss that part of the OP? The thread’s a joke, see? It calls for humorous speculations, see? It’s not a Real Debate, see?
Exit Mundi says it all.
The world will end when some ultrageek succeeds in his plan to engineer a zombie virus, or zombie nanites, or zombie tree sap. This will happen in roughly 2035, because that number seems science fiction-y enough.
gasp I can’t lose! I was going to sign up to Yllaria pet thingy, but I’m sure my pets will forgive me.
Waaiiit a minute…
I don’t own any pets! It’s all a scam!
runs from post, cackling
Clearly, the world ended yesterday, because there are no mods to move this to IMHO or MPSIMS.
The world will end many years from now when the sun expands and roasts the planet. Human life might go extinct before then, most likely by meteor strike. It might be diminished by some kind of global nuclear catastrophe but there will be some survivors. The world will not end by means of a particle physics experiment.
If the world does end in the Mayan prophetic sense, it won’t mean the end of humans. There were four Mayan worlds before this. It will just be the start of a new world, for whatever that metaphorically means.
With that clock it ends when it hits 2;)
Does the 2012 date have anything to do with South Park? They are contracted to the end of 2011. Are the last known words going to be “oh my God, they killed everybody”
