The reset button



Dinosaurs saw it once

Monkeys may live long enough to see it too

(if they don't hit the button themselves)

Big rock, little monkeys, formerly nice blue-ish planet, ya gotta just love the doom of the internet, hey, you can always just turn-on the news and watch Israel light-up Gaza.

Yes, we are doomed, one way or the other, someday we'll get a real nut-case with nukes and see some serious stuff, that should be the day it will become a crime to be a politician, or religious leader, or other form of megalomania.

I don't fear the big rocks from the sky, I truly fear the things that man can do.........

Keith,

Why do you always like to talk about a Doomsday event ? Try to have a positive outlook on life. Live and let live thy fellow man.

By any chance are you referencing the asteroid Apophisis, which is expected to hit the Earth on Easter, 2032?

All I could think about as I watched that animation (aside from an old Clash song) was -- "There's never been a better time to buy real estate! (As long as it's in the unaffected area, or has a reeeeeally deep basement.) It's not just that they're not making more of it; it's that so much of it will be consumed by fire, earthquakes and shock waves. And if you're one of the lucky ones whose property is relatively unscathed, think of the resale potential when the surviving members of humanity emerge from their bunkers!

"'How can I predict whether my property will be one of those that's not consumed by molten bits of the Earth's crust?' you ask. 'What might that mean to my repayment schedule?' Don't worry -- your bank includes PMI in your monthly payment! Plus, if you buy now and your home is crushed under a massive space rock, while your flesh is reduced to its constituent atoms, avoiding late fees on your mortgage will be the least of your worries.

"So what do you say? Can I interest you in a 25-year ARM? Balloon payment not due until two months after the projected date of the asteroid impact."

Looks like the asteroid hit Anarctica from the view of the Earth around 2:00.

If only it were really this easy...

Not in your lifetime buddy.

The point is that I'd bet on man killing off mankind before another asteroid does it

We're monkeys with nukes. And greenhouse gasses. And all kinds of nifty viruses. And religions that tell you god wants you to kill in his name.

And the point is that god has a reset button and he's used it before.

more doom and gloom.should I sell my condo in new york so I don't have to worry about the tsunami?

Oh for all you greenhouse gas freaks, is the rest of the world going to stop using oil when we go to an alternative?As long as there is oil there will be a buyer.

"“I never had a clue about the amount of off-the-cliff activity that was going on at Washington Mutual, and I was in constant contact with the company,” said Vincent Au, president of Avalon Partners, an investment firm. "

A quote from a true monkey (who is also a pimp).

This is from an article in today's New York Times about Washington Mutual:

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/28/business/28wamu.html?pagewanted=2&th&emc=th

Maybe we can gather all the REIC people in one area so the meteor takes them out first!

"“Kerry (former WaMu CEO) has made over $100 million over his tenure based on the aggressiveness that sunk the company,” said Mr. Au, the money manager. “How does he justify taking that money?”

In June, Mr. Au sent an e-mail message to the company asking executives to return some of their pay. He says he has not heard back."

From the NYTimes: http://tiny.cc/z5tDj

They were already pimps and hustlers. Now they are complete criminals. Once you've gone criminal, you don't go back.

I've said over and over, this will not end until we incarcerate or ban for life, the MILLIONS who participated in this epic, criminal Ponzi scheme.

Keith, you are placing green house gasses on the same shelf as thermo nucleur weapons? Quit attacking the chistain religion and start attacking the global warming religion. I assure you the wack jobs promoting this religion are much more dangerous to freedom and civilization than the christains.

I like this view. According to Mother Shipton who was born in 1488.

'But slowly they are routed out
To seek diminishing water spout
And men will die of thirst before
The oceans rise to mount the shore.

And lands will crack and rend anew
You think it strange. It will come true.

And in some far off distant land
Some men - oh such a tiny band
Will have to leave their solid mount
And span the earth, those few to count,
Who survives this (unreadable) and then
Begin the human race again.

But not on land already there
But on ocean beds, stark, dry and bare
Not every soul on Earth will die
As the Dragons tail goes sweeping by.

Not every land on earth will sink
But these will wallow in stench and stink
Of rotting bodies of beast and man
Of vegetation crisped on land.

But the land that rises from the sea
Will be dry and clean and soft and free
Of mankinds dirt and therefore be
The source of man's new dynasty.

And those that live will ever fear
The dragons tail for many year
But time erases memory
You think it strange. But it will be.

And before the race is built anew
A silver serpent comes to view
And spew out men of like unknown
To mingle with the earth now grown
Cold from its heat and these men can
Enlighten the minds of future man.

To intermingle and show them how
To live and love and thus endow
The children with the second sight.
A natural thing so that they might
Grow graceful, humble and when they do
The Golden Age will start anew.

The dragon's tail is but a sign
For mankind's fall and man's decline.
And before this prophecy is done
I shall be burned at the stake, at one
My body singed and my soul set free
You think I utter blasphemy
You're wrong. These things have come to me
This prophecy will come to be.'

Yeah, everybody blown away except a little tiny band of people, and then extrateristrialllaaas (sp?)
come down and re-educated the new people as to how to truly live.
Sounds good to me.

If that ever happens, you will see the Obama base looting the electronics store, stores that sell Sean John crap, as well as rim shops, up to the last minute. You know, to keepsreal.

Instead of looking to the sky for falling rocks like a bunch of turkeys gobbling in the rain, how about we think really really big:

" The University of Utah Seismograph Stations reports that a notable swarm of earthquakes has been underway since December 26 beneath Yellowstone Lake in Yellowstone National Park, three to six miles south-southeast of Fishing Bridge, Wyoming. This energetic sequence of events was most intense on December 27, when the largest number of events of magnitude 3 and larger occurred."
