Hello fellow survivors,
As the last representatives of the human race and survivors of the end of the world, I suggest we give in the drinking, partying and a bit of a scrap just for old times sake.

Hello fellow survivors,
As the last representatives of the human race and survivors of the end of the world, I suggest we give in the drinking, partying and a bit of a scrap just for old times sake.
Ah yes, another year gone, and another "end of the world party" to attend.
I wonder if the "end of the world" thing will ever go out of style. Knowing the propensity for humans to indulge in the irrational, fantastical mind-sets, as well as mistakenly projecting the pattern-seeking behavior of our brains onto the environment around us, coupled with the meaningless symbolism many people enjoy, I think it's likely this trend will continue unabated.
Anywho ... cheers!
Did someone say drink?

Ah, them were the days, 6 pints for less than £5.
Struggle to get a single pint for that much in some places now.
It probably will... sometime around the end of the world.Quote:

Our wonderful world for sure it's not going to end when the guys that interpret the Maya's calendar incorrect say. What we should think about is that humanity pushes this word to annihilation ... You can not probably change the world, but yourself ;) Happy vacation to everyone :D
Somewhere an "expert" in Mayan culture is drafting an article explaining how everyone else was wrong because the Mayan calendar "doesn't really end until 2013".Quote:

Come on people, a new calendar is $11, if all 7 billion of us chip in that's only 1.57e-9 dollars each. A small price to pay to avoid the end of the world.
They just had a cyclic calendar. It's been know for, hold on to your hats, a couple centuries.Quote:

PS: The OP should have been "give in to drinking...". Can't edit that now. But I think you got the gist.
Yes. See, I was once a believer on the "end of the world". I always said the world would end when beer stopped being cheap. But all I did was to add in the list of false predictionsQuote:

A politician that doesn't fall to artificial patriotic speech? Can we borrow him from you?
Well, he has retired from the public life, but you could ask him and brace yourself.
