IMHO not really. Right now it's snowing here which is an anomaly but the weather is like that. Wasn't it about 5 years ago that we had a record hurricane season and everyone was freaking out and blaming global warming, and I can't even remember more than maybe 2 landfalling hurricanes this past year.

But you just proved my point. There are wild swings in the typical climate and weather patterns occurring over recent years. People don't understand what exactly is going on and have been able to do little to predict what might happen next.



All of that uncertainty makes people look for esoteric answers, like an impending appocolypse.

My favorite teams
  1. Portland Timbers
  1. Chicago Blackhawks
Probably from a laymans' interpretation point. My point was that the reasons for anything "wild" are usually just natural fluctuations in weather, etc.



But yeah, we have crackpots out here blaming global warming for the snow (which happens maybe 2 days a year here for less than an inch). Just like you have crackpots out eat blaming an impending apocalypse when Delta Burke tripped a dumptruck drove past the "earthquake" happened.



It was a known fault. What gives?

Basing doomsday predictions on crazy weather? Probably the only thing harder to predict than the end of the world?

He's probably off coming up with some new crackpot theory to get people to turn all of their money and worldly possessions over to him.

The last I heard he was convinced that since everything happens according to God's plan he technically wasn't a false prophet, because God wanted him to be wrong all along.



He spent a lot of that money to get the word out and at his age he's running out of time (he's 90 and had a stroke inbetween last year's fizzled apocalypses) to find more people foolish enough to trust his predictions. He's enough of a laughingstock now though that he's just one slow news day away from the late night TV host's consciousness.

Couple of things:



(1) Date has been chanced to 12/23/2012 in recent years due to early errors in deciphering the number scheme.

(2) The reason no other calendar has been found that extends beyond the current calendar is that they did not make the next calendar until close to the end of it's time. Last one was made 100's of years ago...like before they were taken out by the New World "discoverers"

(3) They never looked at the end of the calendar as the end of the world.

You'll all be singing a different song when the end of days is upon us. I'll be laughing as the aliens fly me away, and the man from mars picked up all my guitars and played me a travelling song....





Really this is just bullshit.



On a side note the "Ancient Aliens" dude with the unpronoucable greek name and wierd accent has some fucked up hair.

Is that the younger dark haired guy who is trying to pull off the Einstein look? I can't turn away from him when he talks his bullshit.... he is a master of it. I think he is on every History channel show including Pawn Stars..i swear to god I saw him trying to pawn off some bull shit and some hair gel.



Honestly though he gets right into the craziness with his Shatneresque speach patterns and that crazy ass hair. I also don't think he blinks.

And here is my question I always have. Will Australia be the first place to be washed away or blow up or be hit by a comet? If so we have a day to prepare for the global orgy minus Australians (which kind of sucks i guess...then again that accent can be a turn off).

New Zeland before the Aussies, so you will still have time to get it on with those crazy Aussie chicks....and really there are some other pacific islands that will get it before them so if you want some New Zeland sheep just make sure your velcro gloves are not too worn.

Crap. I reckon that I shouldn't have taken out all those 401K loans to buy tickets for last Mega-Duper Lotto after all.
