So Whats This 2012 Shit Anyway?

So theres this guy Patrick Geryl whos written a bunch of cheap looking softcover books saying that the world is going to end in 2012 by the sun reversing its magnetic axis, producing giant solar flares and reversing the Earth's rotation or something?

And then people talk about the Mayans saying how on December 21st either Man will evolve or be destroyed by an asteroid or by God?

Then again, we all lived through May 5th 2000 where all the planets in our solar system aligned for the first time in centuries - which was suppose to produce giant floods and solar flares.

So - whats this all about, Mulder?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I thought that was "The Awakening" or something?

Also - The Alien Invasion was suppose to be 2012 in The X-Files, but I bet the box office disaster of I Want To Believe curtailed those crazy Greys into coming down with their ray guns and clones of Samantha Mulder.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

So what the fuck would that mean? Like - would it be fucking Star Trek with its ION STORMS WE CANNOT BEAM DOWN SAVE GEORDI OH SHIT or would I just not be able to use my Cub Scouts Compass?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

The chances of that thing going wrong in the spectacular fashion people suspect is infinitesimal; even if it did go wrong the result would be so sudden and so violent, it wouldn't even register to us. We'd be gone in the blink of an eye.

The court injunctions against it are a joke - if anything, they were filed to people's worries at ease, as the scientists had to avow what the machine was doing and what the chances were at malfunction.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I do my part in limiting methane pollution by eating hamburgers.

Seriously - one of the reasons we have ozone problems is because of cow farts. Look it up.

I was speaking idiomatically.

What about that Millennium Dome thing that they featured in The World Is Not Enough?

And then had the world's biggest jewellery heist.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

You still finished it on time.

The stupid part of it is that you have nothing to do with it NOW.

No, but it just might get Janus X to stop posting here

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Would you two stop acting like Elixir for the rest of this thread?

Jam it back in, in the dark.
