Well, come December 22, 2012 the Mayan Calendar folks will have a good laugh and will have to invent something else.

Looks like Lardmeister left the Mayan Calendar off his list, unless that is implied in the ubiquitous "all of the above".
May 'the Google' be with you!

Okay, this is what we have so far for the reasons the world, as we know it, will end:
Meteor
Black Hole
Gamma Rays
Nuclear War
Regular War
Religious War
Superbug
TV
Antichrist
Catastrophic release of Carbondioxide
Massive Vulcano Eruption
Massive Earthquake
Abortion
Gay Rights
High Taxes
The Poor Get Poorer
Excess Liberals
Hillary Healthcare
Social Conservatives
Fascism
Demagoguery
Surveillance Society
"Nation Building"
Chemical Contamination of Food and Toys
Overpopulation
...
and all of the above at once!

Might have missed a few major ones.
I upped my sanitary measures, up yours!

I think you are correct! My dad tells me that not too long ago people only worried about "Nuclear War" and "Communism". Those were the good old times!

>>Those were the good old times!
I disagree because those "good old times" had more disease than we have today, AIDS was 100% fatal, less fuel-efficient automobiles, so-called educational films taught children to hide under their desks in case of nuclear attack, and many many more disadvantages.

"Good old days" ??? There has never been a better time for most people than today (politics excepted)
Don't PM me with questions -- you might get a nasty PM in response. If you have a question then post it in one of the forums.

I agree with you! Should have put "Those were the good old times!" into the rumination of the day thread!

Its actually not bad practice. Falling debris are he main cause of death within the first 10 minutes of a blast , provided you are not vaporised. Therefore, earthquake style techniques like hiding under funriture should apply

haha.. wont help much if you get nuked.. The desk aint gonna help if you're vaporized or the building collapses on your head

also.. the radiation will kill ya too.. provided you aren't wearing a lead (?) suit. I forget what the radiation wont penetrate.
