Wow. I often wonder why people ever both preparing for the Apocalypse; I imagine the Apocalypse will be one of those "everything in existence gets disintegrated when all the suns in the entire Universe explode at the same time" deals. I just don't think it'd be possible to survive the Apocalypse, let alone properly prepare for it.

But why doesn't it surprise me that that's focused in Amsterdam? Despite my previous statement, I'd like to believe that even the Apocalypse wouldn't touch Amsterdam.   8-)

I was browsing though all the "New Age" books at Borders the other day and saw a TON of books about 2012 on the shelf. One of these days, I'll have to look up why so many of these people are panicking over 2012. The only thing that I can think of is that it will be the end of Obama's first term.  :lol:

It's funny because the Mayan calendar doesn't actually end in 2012, it's just the end of the current period, then they need to recalculate for the next period. Course I think it's pretty cocky of them to plan that far ahead and then not stick around to follow through.

"I don't like it here anymore. Take immigration, for example. They keep letting people in. And then we have to build more houses, which makes the Netherlands even heavier. The country will sink even lower, which will make the flooding worse."

Statements like this makes me believe that there is a bright side to the Apocalypse. BTW, I am planning an end of the world party - your all invited.

I'm hosting a huge "Goodbye George" party right after the election. Don't care who wins, we're still having the party. Figure I'd better get it done now since we'll all BURN FOREVER when 2012 rolls around.

Baha. Well... It /might/ happen I guess. As a precaution, I'll indulge on the last day.

Wait. What? The party? *so confused*

I see you found boomvoom's webpage.

EDIT: Oh, what a load of horseshit. It says right there in Revelation that no man knows when the end of the world is coming. Go ahead and numerology your eyes out. Everytime somebody says "Today is the day the world will end" God just moves it up another week.

I've made it my mission in life to wake up every morning and loudly proclaim "Today is the Earth's last day!" thus single handedly preventing the cataclysm. You can send thank you cash to my paypal.
