Doomsday
Now's a good time to buy that Ferrari on time payments. Seems there this astronomer scientist type guy who's pretty sure the world will end -- this week.
It seems that the military, especially the navy is dispersing all over the world, Tenet just resigned to be with his family, feds are stocking up on cash. Meteors are going to do us in and they're heading in. The military has also expanded their Stop Loss program
Are those enough facts to feed your paranoia? Whenever you read about one of these doomsayer's reports, and find so much fact sprinkled in it, you can't help but wonder, at least a little, way back in the recesses of your mind, is it true this time? Let's face it, the earth has been pounded before - just ask the Flintstones. 65 million years ago, Central America got the crap whoomped out of it by a meteor. And government cover-up not withstanding, who's to say there isn't some big honker of a flat black asteroid swinging around Jupiter's gravity well right now with a bead on Grover's Mills NJ (again). Or how about some super nova or gamma ray burster that went off a couple of thousand years ago -- and that's a couple of thousand light years away? Anyone for a solar flare? There's a pretty "cool" story about some guy seeing the full moon suddenly brighten thanks to a protoplasmic cooking solar flare during the night.
Oh well, I suppose the chances are good that he's just another nutcase. In fact, comments on the first link seem to support that idea, however, what if...
