Apocalypse theories.
I'd guess that most of us don't believe the world is going to end next week, and that the vast majority of us will stop it from happening by sheer force of will to see how Star Wars Episode VII turns out. But in the event that it is inevitable, let us discuss theories, plans, etc.
Are we talking an instant end of life event (Armageddon-style meteor strike), or something more slow (super-virus?). Potentially something more cool like a zombie plague (preferably with survivors, but hey, not all zombie movies have happy endings). Or, are we talking some dickhead with a sick sense of humour with the trigger to a nucular missile waiting for the 21st to rocket off some M.A.D.
Where will you be on the 21st of December? What will you be doing? Who will you be with?
How will you spend the last day (hypothetically speaking) of your life? -- assuming of course you had no idea it was coming.
Personally, me, my girlfriend, and a friend of ours are sitting on the couch watching every end-of-the-world movie we own and eating the remaining food in our refridgerator (as on the 22nd we have to fly away for 3 weeks - rotten food when you get back is no fun!). If, for some reason, its the Zombie apocalypse, we probably won't know until a few days later when we emerge from the bush to civilisation (at which point we'll rush back to the bush and fortify ourselves). If its an asteroid... well... pass the popcorn?
Go. Discuss.
What if we just don't wake up...
That would be lame.
Which time zone did the Mayans' clock follow? Don't want the world ending hours later than or before I had expected, would throw all my plans into disarray.
What if we just don't wake up...
I'll be going back to Michigan from Kentucky since a service trip is ending.
You know if the world really does end (Not that I expect it to) I'm going to PISSED what with all the paperwork I've already done getting ready for next year. Besides Australia and Asia are still with us and technically it's the 21st over there. And don't tell me the Mayans didn't account for things like the international dateline. If they can really predict the end of the world, they should have no problem predicting developments in time keeping.
Actually, I'm just a figment of your imagination. We're already all dead over here in Aussieland. The kangaroos kicked the shit out of us, and rabid koalas tore out our eyeballs for their cocktails.
Well it's a good thing they can't swim across the ocean! OH GOD WE HAVE KOALA'S AT THE LOCAL ZOO!
