    APPARENTLY ZOMBIES ARE IT IN THE US!

    Really don't these people have anything better to do. Spoof or not, news has emerged that the Department of Homeland Security sent people to ZOMBIE training. Really?

    Zombie Apocalypse. Is this how the world will end? | News.com.au

    Walking dead, honestly? You have seen too many horror movies.

    Although I have to admit I have seen some of the walking dead around here, where's my machette?

    Its not the stories and theory's that make up the Mayan calender, but the accuracy of predicting the position of the stars and heavenly bodies through observation over many years. That's science, and in that they were very accurate.

    Yeah well they had nothing better to do, but given the weather in that part of the world you would wonder how they got it done

    Tropics?? And I doubt the whole society was tracking the night skies, more likely a scientist type like Franklin who published an almanac for the farmers in America.

    Days? Hours? Months? Years? I'm going to costco this weekend so id like to know how many cases of chai tea to buy cause I'm a real b@astard without a cup of hot tea... sooo... you are the man with the plan in hand.

    You state it is coming.

    That seems to imply a deadline looming.

    I'm not on the looming deadline email list.

    So...

    All you.go.

    Julia must face an election in 2013, and as she is the most unpopular Prime Minister certainly in living memory, therefore I predict her demise, The day and the hour is known only to her. Now as to tea, if you want to have another tea party over there, apparently two was never enough, I suggest you buy a ship load as it may become in short supply at any time, and not necessarily as a result of natural disaster.

    It is not rudeness to state the obvious

    Its not wrong to point out obvious rudeness, however expected and common.

    I don't make prophecies on demand, future events are not at my command

    What you can be sure of is the world will not end because of the end of the Mayan count

    Just an update, folks, the 21st December has dawned bright and beautifull in that place where we get the news first and it is now after Midday, so the catacylism has been given a reasonable chance to take hold, but alas, we are still here, enjoying the endless sunshine and clean air

    So all I can say to the doomsdaysayers, is; up your nose with a rubber hose and Merry Christmas

    Well that's quite a change from what you said a few posts ago. What about you saying the end of the world is near?

    Too funny!

    Oh and thank you Kp, thank you for backing me up. I, however, do not take anything this clown says to heart. He is a smart a$$ in every thread. So, it doesn't surprise me...

    Actually it was at midnight the 21, which has already passed, so I think it is safe to say we will be just fine.

    We had a heavy downpour last night and I woke up this morning to find 2 inches of water in the basement. What a mess - perhaps that was the cataclysm the Mayans were predicting?

    Our electricity went off because of high winds. When our house and all of our power grid went dark and we were plunged into total blackness, I thought, "This is it!"
