    7 Reasons why the world will end in 2012

    7 reasons the world will end in 2012

     

    Scientific experts from around the world are genuinely predicting that five years from now, all life on Earth could well finish. Some are saying it'll be humans that set it off. Others believe that a natural phenomenon will be the cause. And the religious folks are saying it'll be God himself who presses the stop button...

     

     

    1. Mayan Calendar

     

     

     

    The first mob to predict 2012 as the end of the world were the Mayans, a bloodthirsty race that were good at two things:

     

    Building highly accurate astrological equipment out of stone and

    Sacrificing Virgins.

     

    Thousands of years ago they managed to calculate the length of the lunar moon as 329.53020 days, only 34 seconds out. The Mayan calendar predicts that the Earth will end on December 21, 2012. Given that they were pretty close to the mark with the lunar cycle, it's likely they've got the end of the world right as well.

     

    2. Sun Storms

     

     

     

    Solar experts from around the world monitoring the sun have made a startling discovery: our sun is in a bit of strife. The energy output of the sun is, like most things in nature, cyclic, and it's supposed to be in the middle of a period of relative stability. However, recent solar storms have been bombarding the Earth with so much radiation energy, it's been knocking out power grids and destroying satellites. This activity is predicted to get worse, and calculations suggest it'll reach its deadly peak sometime in 2012

     

    3. The Atom Smasher

     

    Scientists in Europe have been building the world's largest particle accelerator. Basically its a 27km tunnel designed to smash atoms together to find out what makes the Universe tick. However, the mega-gadget has caused serious concern, with some scientists suggesting that it's properly even a bad idea to turn it on in the first place. They're predicting all manner of deadly results, including mini black holes. So when this machine is fired up for its first serious experiment in 2012, the world could be crushed into a super-dense blob the size of a basketball.

     

    4. The Bible says...

     

    If having scientists warning us about the end of the world isn't bad enough,religious folks are getting in on the act aswell. Interpretations of the Christian Bible reveal that the date for Armageddon, the final battle between Good an Evil, has been set down for 2012. The I Ching, also known as the Chinese book of Changes, says the same thing, as do various sections of the Hindu teachings.

     

    5. Super Volcano

     

     

     

    Yellowstone National Park in the United States is famous for its thermal springs and Old Faithful geyser. The reason for this is simple - it's sitting on top of the world's biggest volcano, and geological experts are beginning to get nervous sweats. The Yellowstone volcano has a pattern of erupting every 650,000 years or so, and we're many years overdue for an explosion that will fill the atmosphere with ash, blocking the sun and plunging the Earth into a frozen winter that could last up to 15,000 years. The pressure under the Yellowstone is building steadily, and geologists have set 2012 as a likely date for the big bang.

     

    6. The Physicists

     

    This one's case of bog-simple maths mathematics. Physicists at Berekely Uni have been crunching the numbers. and they've determined that the Earth is well overdue for a major catastrophic event. Even worse, they're claiming their calculations prove, that we're all going to die, very soon - while also saying their prediction comes with a certainty of 99 percent- and 2012 just happens to be the best guess as to when it occurs.

     

    7. Slip-Slop-Slap-BANG!

     

    We all know the Earth is surrounded by a magnetic field that sheilds us from most of the sun's radiation. What you might not know is that the magnetic poles we call north and south have a nasty habit of swapping places every 750,000 years or so - and right now we're about 30,000 years overdue. Scientists have noted that the poles are drifting apart roughly 20-30kms each year, much faster than ever before, which points to a pole-shift being right around the corner. While the pole shift is underway, the magnetic field is disrupted and will eventually disappear, sometimes for up to 100 years. The result is enough UV outdoors to crisp your skin in seconds, killing everything it touches.

     

    I did not make this, but I stand by it fully, prove me wrong.

    haha, Its a good joke, did you make it yourself?

     

    Or did you find it on another website, I don't think you could've made that... JOKE!

    Naw, it was a good joke, but it's a one time only thing.

    First, I'll say that I don't think the government should be monitoring anything the public is doing within their own homes without a search warrant attained on the grounds of reasonable cause that the person is committing a crime.

     

    Now, let me play devil's advocate. What if the response had said "in your best interest, because of the proliferation of child porn available through peer-to-peer services"? If they told you they were monitoring file transfers on P2P systems because they were looking for traders of child porn, would you be as upset? If they were looking at file transfers between 5 MB and 20MB because they are potentially kiddie porn, would that necessarily be a bad thing? Do we want the people who prey on young children out there trading their home-made movies and making more and more of them while they destroy the lives of the children they are forcing to participate in their horrible fantasies?

     

    Of course we don't want that, but even if that were what they were looking for, it's still a violation of our civil liberties to monitor what we are doing without probable cause of a crime. So, in short, my answer is HELL NO!

     

    QFT

     

    This would happen, I can assure it.. or they could SAY it was happening, I wouldn't be surprised if it was one of the presidents "Scare Tactics", to keep the hearts and minds of the citizens scared, so nobody would do anything, and so that they could catch the REAL terrorists. In other words, liek Catara says, HELLZ NO.

    Redneck Vasectomy

    After their 11th child, an Alabama couple decided that was enough as they could not afford a larger bed.

     

    So the husband went to his doctor and told him that he and his cousin didn't want to have anymore children.

     

    The doctor told him that there was a procedure called a vasectomy that could fix the problem but that it was expensive. "A less costly alternative, said the doctor, "is to go home, get a cherry bomb, (fireworks are legal in Alabama) light it, put it in a beer can, then hold the can up to your ear and count to 10."

     

    The Alabamian said to the doctor, "I may not be the smartest tool in the shed, but I don't see how putting a cherry bomb in a beer can next to my ear is going to help me."

     

    "Trust me," said the doctor.

     

    So the man went home, lit a cherry bomb and put it in a beer can. He held the can up to his ear and began to count...

     

    "1"

    "2"

    "3"

    "4"

    "5"

     

     

    At which point he paused, placed the beer can between his legs and resumed counting on his other hand.

     

     

     

     

    Lol.
