End of the world next month.

[Fab Foodie]

According to the Mayan calendar the worlds going to end next month on the 21st December...anyone worried?

I've stopped buying long-life milk ....

The world has ended, and this is the afterlife.

Not really what you were expecting is it?

Only four and a bit, so it's the closest. If Bollo keeps up a good cadence he should make last orders ...

So, say 8 and a half years at the speed of light? Hmmm I suspect it is going to take quite a bit longer than that unless he's invented a warp drive, so yes, he might get back before last orders.... c.2512!

Breaking news...the world ends, but starts again in exactly the same guise the next day. Sorry.

21st December? Bugger, I'm out that day I'm going to miss it again. It's really quite tedious the end of the world never falls on a day when I'm about, it really is quite inconvenient.
I mean, really! Who's in charge of this stuff, you'd think the powers that be would organise a big event like this so everyone could join in, it's just not good enough.

Yeah, you'd think there'd be like plenty of merchandise in the shops like in the build up to the Queens jubilee

I wonder if Phil will get another bladder infection from it?

 

[Hilldodger]

Can't make it. Sorry.

My maths is crap, but when you start to think about it, the speed of light is 186000 miles per second, so that's something like 669600000mph
Ok, now how fast can we go? We might be able to travel faster now, but the Apollo missions flew to the moon at 17,500mph, so, even at that speed, that's, what, 4 miles a second? So, its going to take ..... Umm..... Fookin' AGES!..... Quite literally..... And that's only one year!!

hopefully this will reduce some of the traffic around here.

 

[Nihal]

Well i'm happy if it ends,if you got any problems with that.....................speak to the graves and calenders

 

[Simba]

Umm, how many light years away is Alpha Centauri? May I suggest that someone young should go to get it!

4 light years, which is about 25 trillion kilometers.

Just a quick stroll down to the post office then?

 

[Davidc]

I'm at a party the night before, so that'll save me a hangover....

 

[Trail Child]

Luckily, I'm not Mayan ...

End of the world next month you say?

That's a right pizzer... It means I might not be able to complete the 2012 Century a month challenge.
