End of the World Question
December 18, 2012 at 1:53 am
Let's say that the world ends on December 21, 2012.
If it ends starting in New Zealand and travels east, does that mean I can get on a plane west of New Zealand and travel to the location after it has been destroyed?
In other words, I will arrive safety after New Zealand has been destroyed and live there after the "end."
Of course, this argument would only make sense given the direction as well as the cataclysm itself. If the whole world just blew up, it wouldn't matter.
Thoughts?

In all sincerity clem, you concept needs a bit more thought to be taken seriously.
Just what do you mean by "world" IF it is the entire planet then....
YOU won't HAVE a place that has already been destroyed to go to!
Are you SURE you have read Revelations right??

Kich,
I saw the calendar in your signature in someone's introduction and let it go; however, the Earth getting enveloped in a ball of fire on Friday is brilliant.
This happens to coincide where my atheist ass plays Santa Clause in our neighborhood for the fifth consecutive year. I dress up, get hauled around behind a truck, and pass out candy while talking to the tykes.
There aren't many experiences in my life that can rival a 3/4/5 year old impersonating a jack-hammer in the street when they see Santa coming.

Glad it made you giggle cato!

No I don't take anything too seriously, not even Zen!!

Centigrade conversion was valuable, but inbound flaming sperm on Friday is priceless.

Sorry, but I lend absolutely now weight to superstitious bullshit. I know you personally don't believe it either, but I simply don't like entertaining comic book "what ifs".
Now the scientific facts of life ending is that eventually IT WILL, not just life as we know it changing us for the worse, but all life will end. This planet will die and also the sun will eventually either expand and die or collapse.
Or even a meteor will hit us just like it wiped out the dinosaurs. That is a more likely scenario considering the amount of meteors constantly moving in and around our solar system. Just a few years ago several huge ones big enough to destroy this planet hit Jupiter.
And all one has to do to know eventually that is likely is to look up at the pock marked moon. And that cosmic collision is also the way the moon itself was formed.
But I do really hate even entertaining such superstitious doomsday prophecy, be it biblical or new age Mayan crap.
The Mayan calender ended not because they thought it was the end of the world (like the new age superstitious bullshitters would have you believe), that calender ended because like today, you and I cant visually conceive what 50 trillion dollars would look like. The Mayans back then simply counted as high as they thought they needed or probably were limited to at the time.
