The End of the World

I blame the contactless cards.

It is indeed miraculous that the universe is still going strong, after all the thousands of times that the end has been predicted.

It just proves something or other.

What they forget, of course, is that the whole point of the end of the world is that no-one can predict when it will be, so any prediction is bound to be wrong. Bit of a waste of time trying, really.

Quite. If the ministers read the bible, they will quickly discover that they are wrong.

“Live as though you’ll die tomorrow, but farm as though you’ll live forever.”

― John Marsden

Surely the beginning of the end of the world started at the beginning of the beginning of the world.

Will the eclipse be the end of the beginning or the beginning of the end. absent? It won't be visible in your part of the world anyway.

We in the North should (apparently) be warned.........
Better get on with guzzling nibbling all the chocolate I fancy after reading other threads on obesity. Would hate it to go to waste or be vapourised when this end of Earth blows up/shrinks/floods etc

Since the date of the next eclipse is already known, I'm fairly relaxed about this Friday's.

Only fairly grumppa?

You never can tell!

If the eclipse is warning the northern hemisphere that it's about to be destroyed does that mean that the Australians shall inherit the Earth. I didn't realise they were a naturally meek people.

The Arctic Circle is evidently going to be obliterated. Then the glaciers of Svaalbard will melt into the ocean, the sea level will rise and our coastal areas will flood. I wonder if all the whales have been swimming south. They are probably the inheritors.

Nothing ever changes - when I was a child about 50+ years ago there was a man who used to walk the streets with a placard that stated:-

THE END OF THE WORLD IS NIGH

And here we are 50 years later.

I remember racing home to tell my mother when I saw that same man, lapwing. She told me not to worry, he had been around when she was little, too!

ah! now i understand why i received a many page rewrite of my insurance coverage, most of it dealing with rising water tables, streams rivers and lakes , tidal waves and other water related disasters-all letting them off the hook! Well i guess that means they expect to be around after what ever is predicted and they intend to still be making money!

Well I didn't wake up with wet feet this morning so I guess the polar caps are still there.
