End of the world...

[januttall]

TBH It sounds like a good excuse for doing all the Christmas shopping on Christmas eve.

[edutech4schools]

Camper van is ready, even have water purifying equipment and solar power.

[Jawloms]

Got tinned food and instant noodles in the cupboard, I'll be fine

 

Going by that, a good majority of university students will also be fine.....

[synaesthesia]

More tosh than I care for. If it will happen it will be zombie related. And if they are slow zombies, I will just pop down to the Winchester and wait until it all blows over.

[HaleStorm]

XKCD have already answered that. It wouldnt happen

 

Everybody Jump

 

Thats only if every one JUMPS...Gangnam Style has yet unknown effects on the earth

[Disaster]

My band is playing a gig at the end of the world in Birmingham. Should be a good way to go!

[simpsonj]

As long as I have my towel, I'll be fine...

[jinnantonnixx]

Typical. Just as I was getting used to living in a pre-apocalyptic world.

[DT2]

I've got a few rolls of double quilted toilet tissue, some tins of hotdogs, and plenty of wood for the fire.... I'm all good I reckon. Apart from the fact you can't get hobnobs here....

Oh, I forgot to mention two rifles and a crossbow.... but they're just my play thingys

YEAAH BOIIIII! *tool smash*

 

On-topic: I'll be fine, years of playing the Fallout series has trained me in how to deal with a post-apocalyptic world. Wohooo! But meh. If it does happen then fair enough I've been proven wrong, but I'm not going to suddenly live my life in fear of it approaching because of it and 'prepare'. What's the point in that? I'm still getting excited for Christmas Day, as everybody else should be (providing they celebrate it, obviously.) - If it doesn't happen, those who have killed their pets are going to feel like a right mug. Have people seriously asked about killing their children though? I mean REALLY?

 

I just wish the kids would stop banging on about it, it's the number one topic around school!

[X-13]

NASA said it, so...

[jinnantonnixx]

Joking aside (it ain't funny when it gets serious), I had a quick look at the news and it's littered with stories about crazies/credulous/lunatics prepping for the upcoming apocalypse. I am certain we'll read about tragedies in the days to come.

 

 

10News - San Diegans prepare for Mayan doomsday: Mayan calendar ends on December 21, 2012 - News Story

 

It's growing phenomenon, and Sanchez is one of at least 102 confirmed preppers in San Diego.

It boggles me why anyone would consider topping themselves because the world is ending. Why not stay and watch the explosive planet-shattering spectacle? Once in a lifetime sight...

[mthomas08]

So, end of the world is fast approaching. Anyone doing any prep for it?

 

Im building up a fart.. im replying to this thread.. think thats it for me.

[mavhc]

[h=2]Public reaction[/h] The phenomenon has spread widely since coming to public notice, particularly on the Internet. Hundreds of thousands of websites have been posted on the subject.^[99] "Ask an Astrobiologist", a NASA public outreach website, has received over 5000 questions from the public on the subject since 2007,^[123] some asking whether they should kill themselves, their children or their pets.

 

WTF!

 

Just kill yourselves, make sure your children and pets get to live with someone sane.

[tmcd35]

Im building up a fart..

 

So that's how the world's gonna end? You planning to release on 21st?

[jinnantonnixx]

How's progress?

[mthomas08]

I have yet to let it out but it will feel like a wrath of god when it's released.

[aerospacemango]

I'm just wondering....and I don't think this has been mentioned yet....

 

If the world is going to END on the 21st....

 

Why would you bother stocking up?

 

[tmcd35]

I suppose it's in case you accidently sleep in or something and miss it - at least when you wake up and start wondering were everyone else as gone to you'd have some pot noddles to munch on.

YES they have - see below

But I got ignored

Not fair - meanies *mumbles imprecations as wanders away*

 

Um - if the world actually ends, that is, ceases to be....an emergency bag won't help you, will it?

[sonofsanta]

I have yet to let it out but it will feel like a wrath of god when it's released.

 

So what you're saying is, the Mayans predicted your collosal 9-day fart and the damage it would cause?

Did you say Pot Noddle?

No doubt that would taste better than a Pot Noodle.

Indeed. Every event, every quantum interaction, every incident has been leading, inexorably, to this happening. mthomas08, it is your destiny.
