Tomorrow is a day of morning
I came across some startling news the other day.
I have been waiting for the front page headlines in the mainstream meeja but so far no mention which is a little surprising. They are more concerned with tedious little items such as Brexit and the threat of nuclear war between America and North Korea.
The fact is that the world is going to end tomorrow.
Now I’m not quite sure how it’s going to end as the various camps seem to be divided between biblical references and the fact that the planet Nibiru is going to smash into our wee world.
I confess I am a little sceptical about the Nibiru thing, as surely something big enough to break our planet into little pieces would be reasonably prominent in the sky by now? Unless of course it is still way beyond our solar system still and is going to cover the distance from Pluto to here in less than 24 hours? That would certainly fuck up the theory that nothing can travel faster than light?
Planet Nibiru about to spoil our day
The other mob are taking the more biblical approach and predicting the date by playing around with numbers and astronomical signs. I found one detailed explanation on YouTube called “Overwhelming Evidence for a September 21-23, 2017 Rapture” which I would suggest you watch if you have 19 minutes of your time you wish to utterly waste. And with the world ending in 24 hours I’m sure you have better things to do? Like paying off outstanding bills, or shagging the next door neighbour’s wife [or husband] [or both] who you have always secretly fancied?
To confuse things even more, the biblical mob make no mention of a planetary collision but instead talk about the Rapture. And what’s more this Rapture has already started and we are in the middle of it right now. I checked out the window earlier and frankly I can’t see anything different, though at least last night’s rain has passed. There again I haven’t a fucking clue what a rapture is so maybe it’s there and I just can’t see it?
Now if you do a Google search for “end of the world September 23 2017” you will find an amazing number of returns [85 million and some?] so there must be something to it.
I had a few things planned for tomorrow. I have put them off until Monday, just in case.
You can’t be too careful?
JUST IN!
In the unlikely event that the world will still exist next week, there is a very interesting talk next Tuesday in Dublin –
Dublin: An Evening with Chris Snowdon.
Book early!
I would love to go but will probably still be cleaning up after the mess of a planet landing in the garden.
If the World is going to end tomorrow then there is no point me carrying on tidying up the garden so I’m off to put my feet up and have an uncork a bottle of the good stuff! As for Nibiru – David Icke and Zecharia Sitchen have a lot of silly nonsense to answer for! No doubt some will breathe their last anyway tomorrow as happens everyday on this mortal coil so I wish those good luck in their own private raptures and may they rest in peace.
In all fairness, someone is going to get it right sometime. It might not be for a few billion years but still…..
Surprise – not! According to David Meade (who?) the Christian Numerologist who predicted all the guff, “The End” has been postponed. Whodathunk it? I’d better buy another bottle of the good stuff for next time….
Two words: “1844” and “Miller”. In other words, it isn’t so much a problem that Christa-loons occasionally come up with dates for Christ’s Return/The Rapture/End Of Days…usually using ‘calculations’ that would have Tommy Flowers reaching for his transistors….the problem comes when they try and ‘justify’ their miscalculations. After the debacle of 1844 several of the sects , some that still knock on your door today, grew out of The Great Disappointment (yes really, they called it that. Never underestimate, to your average Xian, the sheer joy to be had watching all the sinners left on Earth, after EarthXit, BURN and being eated by the worm). I can name at least 4 without even checking the tomes.
So I guess I can leave off trimming the rest of the hedge then?
Oh great, I was told I’d wake up to an independent Scotland. Then they told me I’d be in the EU for the rest of my days. And I was so looking forward to Marine Le Pen as boss of France. Maybe not so 4 years of Hils Clinton. Then they told me the Tories would have a colossal mandate for Brexit.
By comparison, the Earth being vaporised ain’t such a big deal.
Appropriately with the World ending today and the Xians being raptured (there is something wrong with that sentence…surely Xians being raptored would be favourite?), tomorrow is that white knuckle, nail bitingly exciting rollercoaster ride known as the German General Election *yawn*.
Why *yawn*? Surely the result will determine not only the direction of the EU but also Brexshite? Yeeees it will but…the great strength and the great weakness of the German Electoral system is that, it is almost a certainty, that some of the people in power today will remain in power on Monday.
Well I’m still waiting for the world to come to an end. Until then it’s back to the prosaic stuff.
I have a very, very vague interest in how afd fares. And I feel the German people really have little choice for boss if their next best is the fat bald git. He I find superficial and repugnant.
On the other hand this business of Mr. Farage once again taking over the top spot at UKIP is of rather more interest, if only because ALL the rest standing for the post are political pygmies.
“The end is nigh – repent sinners!”
If the end of the world happens tomorrow, does that mean I can put in a claim on my trip cancellation insurance? I’ve just spent a considerable sum on airline tickets. Who do I sue?
Seriously, we get an end of the world story every other bloody week and nothing of note happens. If the guys at spaceweather.com haven’t picked it up, I’m not going to cancel any appointments. And I repent nothing.
Weeeeelllll. It’s now the 25th and I’m still waiting ……
