Nostradamus: 2012 - Be Afraid

[flyingcrocodile46]

I will put a wager on there still being shit talked about on KB in January 2013...and I will be rocking the holidays on some beach somewhere. If the worst comes to the worst, I have the survival skills to keep myself and my family alive...however, I suspect that unless I start spending extended amounts of time flying over say...Alaska...that the chances of needing to use them out of necessity will be slim. It all seems a little Chicken Little to me.

Indeed, I don't buy into the deadline = doom aspect (though don't totally discount it either) and think choosing to disbelieve all or any of the proposed theories is quite understandable but the evidence and questions that they raise is intriguing nonetheless and to ignore them seems a little ignorant, arrogant and boring.

Have you guys heard of the Baltic Anomaly discovered last year?

My pick is that it's one of our old terra forming machine

I'll go for something a little more conventional. That once upon a the Baltic Sea wasn't a body of water and it being hard to shift such large stones up to the top of Mount Sweden, people settled on the valley floor below and the object seen is an early day convention centre. When the ocean flowed over the top of ridge that held it back, it flooded the valley creating the Baltic Sea and only those who were lucky enough to own a dragon (or flying horse) were able to escape.

Not sure if it's been covered yet, but anyone that predicts eclipses and all the whatnot are a few thousand years too slow.

They built a prediction computer/clock some while back.

It was released in 2008, and it has to be said, Its an overblown pompous wankfest.

Suffers from a serious lack of Nostradamus though......

There's a doco on it, 'BBC's the two thousand year old computer'. Wanks on a bit but they weren't daft back then, granted planets hardly hit traffic lights.

I saw one on that very device a while ago I (maybe the same one), well a couple or so years ago. Some guy was trying to recreate it using perspex and chains (amongst other things) and was having a helluva time trying to re-create it. Certainly gave a perspective on how bright and talented them fellas from before antiquity where.

Sheeesh! You guys got no clues.

Its obviously a part off Guy Pearce's Time machine from our dim distant past when it got busted up in the old future, last time around when we did the zero point spiral down that plug hole in the Baltic Sea

The one I squizzed had what they thought to be a full replica, trippy shit, well worth a rewatch.

Maybe I mocked world destruction a bit too much http://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/news...ectid=10869923

I wonder how serious China is. They have the opportunities to take action against the Norvern' Munkees via isolation or overthrow. The Munkees refuse to open up the economy to free enterprise and copy the Chinese example since this will ruin the powerbase and lifestyle of the rulers.
Interesting times ahead... for NK.

After living through part of the Cold War and the ever present threat of someone "pushing the button" this is a bit of a rerun.

I'll be certainly be interesting to see what happens though.

Incidently, another asteroid (football field size) is headed our way but is predicted to come within 960,000 kms of earth this weekend.
