It doesn't matter. The world is coming to an end on Dec 21, 2012 anyway. |

What is up with December 21, 2012? Can someone link me to the story? Nevermind... the internet is an aquaintence of mine, that shows me things every so often. And I also have my honey to tell me these things too. I am dumb. |

Not really, compared to the believe that actually believe this stuff. Why don't we ever hear about meteors hitting the moon? This one might make a new crater. |

Not half as dumb as the nitwits who've completely misinterpreted what the "end" of the Mayan calendar actually means -- in simple terms, when this round ends, the whole calendar increments upwards by one. (IIRC, the Mayan calendar can record dates accurately out to 40 million....) |

Doesn't matter anyway-all Apocalypses are shit and never as much fun as fictional ones. I mself am hoping for a Mad Max/ Fist of the North Star post apocalyptica. And Roland Emmerich can go fuck himself. |

When I first heard about the alignment that's supposed to happen on that date, I thought how cool is it that the Maya knew so much about astronomy that they could predict events that far into the future. Of course, I wanted to learn more, and was disappointed to find out there is no such event. Goes to show you can never be satisfied which just a little knowledge. Edit: I have just realized that bringing up this topic has caused certain ads to show up on this page, for which I am very, very sorry. |

Think of it as the difference between "999,999" and "1,000,000" -- yes, it's Only One Higher, but we've Added A Place To The Left Of The Decimal. It's only important to people who have nothing else to worry about. :) |

If an asteroid really was going to hit the earth, what would you do? I assume our governments would be useless and we would all be on our own. If you were fortunate enough to not be under it when it hit, do you think you would survive? Given my present skills and resources, I think I might have a 60% chance. I arrived at this conclusion with no math what so ever :P |

I'd try to do one of those things you do before you die. Like No. 67. Lunge wildly at the Pope. |

Depends on where it's landing -- no sense building a cave-bunker if I'm at GZ or within CEP of same. :) |

who cares? weve started bombing it, nature might as well carry on as well lol. sea levels would rise if the moon altered its orbit in anyway, and of course wed all be fucked if that orbit landed it right in earth. that would be an epic disaster movie plot lol. |

I vaguely remember watching a movie involving the moon-crushing scenario on tv. If I was at GZ, I think I would stand outside and watch it come in. That would be the most spectacular thing anyone would ever see in their lifetime, and if you're going to die might as well not miss it. If I wasn't at GZ, I'd set up some cameras so I could watch from my cave or wherever I'm hiding. Then I would start my drunken haze, because there's not much you can do while waiting for the sun to come back. Nothing a drunken haze can't improve, anyway :D Jeff is now my hero. |

That's easy to fix, just pretend the Illuminati are back terrorising the chuch and send them a professor to solve the problem. When they've gone, lunge at the pope. |

Well, I don't think any asteroid is big enough to knock the moon out of orbit, so I won't worry about it. Now if you want something lunar-related to worry about, just think about the fact that the moon is always falling. |
