Dammit to Heck!!

I'm STILL waiting for somebody to tell me if we've actually dawned on the dang Age of Aquarius, and tow there something ELSE to tend to.

That does it. I'm becoming a Presbyterian.

Naaah, their hymnbook is SOOO dull.

That does it I'm becoming a Morman, and goin' to join the Tabernacle Choir!!

Note: People who 'transfer in' to Mormonism are NOT allowed to join the Tabernacle Choir, because they're not 'good' enough to go into the Tabernacle in Salt Lake. Some Angel named Macaroni or sumpin' said so.

As I understand it, normal behaviour like running will be out of the equation. Be comforted. Your own puny consciousness looks set to merge with all the others into a celestial super-consciousness. Could be lots of fun.  :P   

Downside:  might mess with the Olympic Games; especially the sprinters.

This topic made me smile!

Mom just learned about the "2012 Prophecy" from a relative living in SoCal and wanted to look it up. I was mighty tempted to pick out one of the more ... entertaining ... sites for her to do her research on, but picked the Skeptic and Wikipedia entries for her instead.

It is when I look at it. Them folkses sorta make me wonder...

There's stuff they are real excited about that I find suspicious.

The ONLY use for Magical Underwear is to wear outside yer pants, with a towel around your shoulders for a cape.

But, don't jump off the barn roof, because you still won't be able to fly.*

Personally, I can't wait to see what happens on December 21, 2012. I hope  that all those conformist bullies* get rapturously swept away to a place where they can be happy forever. I'll even wave bye-bye to them! Then, it's party time here, people!

Eh, it's 2016 they should be worried about.  1998 (3*666) being the birth-year o' the anti-Christ, he/she will turn 18 (6+6+6) in 2016.

I can probably cook something up for any other year desired, but that one is the least convoluted and most likely to seem lucid to those dim enough to latch onto such things. ;)

Something puzzles me about all this. Why is it assumed the end will occur on a single day? Hadn't someone better calculate how long the ending will take ( 1 second? 4 days? several billion years?)

Interesting idea, Griffin. Maybe it's started, all ready and we just don't notice because it's going so slowly.

I think the asteroid ending is of the order of hours to months. With the Red Giant ending I think you starve to death paying ever higher air conditioning bills (This is probably what Bob Q F would refer to as the "happy" ending    ;)  Only kidding ).

If Gods get involved, who knows?  They're fairly inscrutable in my limited experience.

I was waiting on '99 for something interesting:
Quote from: NostradamusL'an mil neuf cens nonante neuf sept mois,
Du ciel viendra un gran Roy d'effrayeur.
Resusciter le grand Roy d'Angolmois.
Avant apres Mars regner par bon heur.

The year 1999, seventh month, [or simply "sept"]
From the sky will come a great King of Terror.
To bring back to life the great King of the Mongols/Lombards/Angoulême?,
Before and after Mars to reign by good luck.
Although there are some who adjust 1999 to 2001 and claim it was 9-11  ::) ::)

How long does post-Nostradamus last?   (I have so many questions)

I gather Alastair Darling has pronounced in the Grauniad we're all doomed and the abolition of boom and bust has been postponed.

If the rumours that the Treasury has had to pump £200bn into the banks is true they've probably all been on it for some time.

Now what idiot lowered the banks' capital adequacy requirement when he was Chancellor? His name escapes me...

Nah, according to a regular of mine, John Lennon ushered in the Age of Aquarius*

*but he also thinks Obama is the anti-Christ who was sworn in on the Koran

Looks like it might be fin to watch for giggles. And I bet my yoga teacher Jambalaya and her Yogi Berra will drag the local yoga community to see it.

Additionally, we could use this to perhaps DO something (after all, "the gods help those who help themselves").
