Whatever you do, don’t panic

On Wednesday, some scientist plans to try to blow up the whole world. This isn’t really making the headlines, and nobody is really trying to stop him, so I guess it’s all going to be okay in the end.

Yeah, sure.

Hm, perhaps steak for dinner this week. Better make it Tuesday, just in case.

  1. Big Brother was telling me about this last night!I think HE is just using it as an excuse to put off homework 😉

  2. Hm. World to end on Wednesday. I can see the headlines already. New York Times: “World to end tomorrow, details in the Sunday supplement.”Wall Street Journal: “World to end tomorrow, Markets will close early.”NY Daily News; “We’re Fried.”Washington Post: “World to end tomorrow, Women and Minorities hurt most.”International Herald Tribune: “English to end the world tomorrow, Bush and CIA are to blame.”Congressional Record: “World to end Thursday or Friday, Hearings called for next month.”Love.Dad R.

  3. It is all converging:The article states that we won’t see anything for four years. That is 2012.The Mayan calendar ends on December 21, 2012.There are some other wacky predictions that has the world ending in 2012.Spooky.

  4. I guess I should join the guy on 42nd St. with the “World is Going to End Tomorrow” sign. Another article I read said the black holes will disappear instantly. I’m still not sure black holes on earth are a good idea even if they do disappear. I say do it on the moon so the moon can swallow itself up. Then again that would mess with our ocean tides. Oh well, I guess I will win the lottery on September 7, 2012.

  5. I for one don’t have the creds to evaluate any of the claims about “the science is sound” or “it’ll bring about the end of the world”. I’ve had exactly one physics class, and yes, I enjoyed it, but not enough to take any more.That said, I can’t help wondering if the “consensus” that the guy who’s fixin’ to do this has talked about in the scientific community (you know, only the nutbars disagree with me!) is anything like the “consensus” on other things. You know, like how only racists won’t vote for Obama. Stuff like that.And is it just me, or is it a bit unfair to peg G.W. Bush as having sought to bring about Armageddon by war with militants, when this guy could conceivably do it with the press of a button?Don’t mind me – I’m just getting all of this out of my system now, just in case… 😉
