Dude,
My daughter lives right outside of Yellowstone.
Now I'm gonna have nightmares.....
Maybe I should get her an emu? She is Mormon, so she has a shelter and plenty of food.
Thanks for the heads up.:clap:
Shelter and food would not help where she is. Pretty much everyone within a wide radius would die quickly from hot gas (LOL) and air clogging ash, etc. Then, the ash would black out the sun and prevent life (plants growing, etc) from being viable over much of the northern hemisphere. People would survive around the world, mostly in the southern hemisphere but it would create mass migration and ecological disaster everywhere. It would have an effect like multiple nuclear bombs. Sounds fun, right!
I don't worry about it. I'd rather die at the beginning than live in bunkers or in a horribly altered world. My life ain't that precious to me. In fact, I don't understand why people freak about the possibility of the world ending by natural means. I would feel sad at the thought of wildlife and the wilderness being permanently destroyed, or the art and music of the ages disappearing with no one left to ever witness it. But if we're dead, we're dead. I'm more worried about things that are likely to occur like natural disasters, ecological disasters, war, etc. Guess I can't join the tin foil hat club after all. Darn it!
I couldnt sleep so I thought I would visit the end of the world thread.
My 25 year old family member is completely freaked thinking the world is done. I plan to call him and play a recording of the emergency broadcast system. Later that day I am going to cut his power off at the main breaker and then after I will wait until he goes to sleep and call him pretending I am looking for survivors.
This is very mean and one of the funniest things I have read in awhile! Hilarious!
Well the Mayans were wrong;

End of Days in May? Christian group spreads word
By TOM BREEN, Associated Press Tom Breen, Associated Press Mon Jan 3, 10:01 am ET
AP In this Dec. 17, 2010 photo in Raleigh, N.C., Allison Warden poses with her car showing a message about
RALEIGH, N.C.
If there had been time, Marie Exley would have liked to start a family. Instead, the 32-year-old Army veteran has less than six months left, which she'll spend spreading a stark warning: Judgment Day is almost here.
Exley is part of a movement of Christians loosely organized by radio broadcasts and websites, independent of churches and convinced by their reading of the Bible that the end of the world will begin May 21, 2011.
To get the word out, they're using billboards and bus stop benches, traveling caravans of RVs and volunteers passing out pamphlets on street corners. Cities from Bridgeport, Conn., to Little Rock, Ark., now have billboards with the ominous message, and mission groups are traveling through Latin America and Africa to spread the news outside the U.S....

...Camping, 89, believes the Bible essentially functions as a cosmic calendar explaining exactly when various prophecies will be fulfilled.
The retired civil engineer said all his calculations come from close readings of the Bible, but that external events like the foundation of the state of Israel in 1948 are signs confirming the date.
"Beyond the shadow of a doubt, May 21 will be the date of the Rapture and the day of judgment," he said....
Ummm, what will he say on May 22nd while wiping the egg off his face? :waitasec::crazy:
This is why I searched out this thread. My brother is obsessed with Camping and the whole May 21, 2011 thing. Now he's getting me obsessed. We plan to be on the phone together to await the worldwide earthquake that will rip open the whole earth, beginning in NZ, at around 11:00 p.m. pacific standard time on 5-20-11, and which will unearth every corpse that has ever been buried in the last 13,000 years, which is how old the earth is :crazy:, and the corpses who are elect will rise up to heaven with the rapture and the rest will rot on the earth. I think only four million souls total are elect. Then starts the period of tribulation for those of us not ascending, which will last until the end of the UNIVERSE, in October. Should be good times.
Camping believes in a Calvinistic form of predestination. You can't ask God to save you. Either he has elected you or you are out of luck. So, I'm not sure what the period of tribulation is for.
The sad thing is, this nut has followers. Tons. Many who are giving him his their last savings in the hope that God will have pity on them and chose to save them or in the hopes that their piousness will prove they are really among the elect. I can't decide if he's laughing all the way to the bank and will run off with his millions to Tahiti or if he really believes this codswallop. All I know is that my brother and I can't wait to see what he and his followers do on May 22, 2011. Although I hope no one kills themselves. And we hope Harold Camping, who is 89, lives to see the failure of his prediction. One month away!!!
