Irish American spends $150,000 on warnings of end of world

jacersagain It was a baby quake..if Lorca had any sane building code there wouldn't be any damage to speak of.

aidanwalsh: I think you may mean asteroid, not steroid

ON May 21st I will be having a pint after my lovely wife's oldest son graduates from medical school. If the world ends, it should be on the late night news.

Remember when the world was going to end on Jan. 1, 2000? What a waste of $150,000. When the world comes to an end, there won't be anything any of us will be able to do about it, so until then...I've already made plans for the 21st.

aidanwalsh? i thought a "steroid" was something some sports superstars took to enhance their performance and that an "asteroid" was a small rocky body orbiting the sun. I could be wrong though.

Matthew 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. Enough said...

if there is to be an event with the world ending it will probably have to do with a massive steroid hitting the earth and causing it to end...i can recall years back in montreal reading about i believe a nasa scientist who had calculated a massive hit by a huge steroid but when they again looked at the data it was off on its collision course and would pass by without hitting earth...if a disaster is to happen it will be the event of a massive hit...also earth could also survive but it is also possible that a virus can kill all life on the planet and that is of major concern to all of us...we could see major harm with rogue nuclear weapons also in the wrong hands but those would probably only destroy cities if that were to happen and also the fear from them of radiation exposure death from these nuclear weapons...it could be possible that a date may predict something major but will it destroy all of the earth is a major question...i also saw some documentary on bbc how massive steroids collided with the earth and also they had one episode where a planet years back hit the earth and they said the fallout of that impact scientists believed caused the formation of the moon...something big could happen but in the event something does happen 'then everybody should just bend over and kiss their asses goodbye' aidan walsh southampton, u.k.

Fitz might not be wrong. When you consider that Spain had a tragic earthquake just this week, it means the plates on the western edge of Europe are moving. Geologists have predicted that the soft slopes on west side of Gran Canaria, a Spanish Island off the coast of Africa, will slide into the Atlantic Ocean one day, creating such a massive tsunami that the whole east coast of the USA will be swamped by it. The Spanish earthquake might just be a sign that west European plates waking up, ready to shake Gran Canaria’s west slopes into collapsing into the sea. If I was in Florida or NYC when that big slide happens after May 21st, I’d powg me own hone slawn.

I think that the END will come when WE least expect it, but it will be in the near future!! I shall buy groceries next week, as usual.

Build an Irish shelter.Take a large cardboard box.Say the box the washing machine came in.Wrap it with tinfoil.This makes it impervious to high velocity rifle rounds,small meteorites and dampness.God forbid you have to use it.All you gotta do is climb inside with a bottle of whiskey and a cat.Then wait a few weeks for the dust to settle before climbing out again.

Someone who needs some serious mental health counseling.

So.. I guess I'll just go polish off the last of the chocolate donuts, and to hell with my Levis fitting.

The frequency of disasters and the shortening interval between each one is no cause for alarm.
