I believe that every time the world has been predicted to come to an end, that it really happened. We just never noiced it. |

No, the world is just the figment of the imagination of my youngest son. If he forgets you are there… POOF! you're gone. So if he forgets to keep the Earth in orbit around the sun, we are all in big trouble. |

Not really. If we are just figments of his imagination then it doesn't really matter what happens as he can imagine it back at the slightest whim. No one can ever really be in trouble any way as no one really exists. |

What do you say to the 'It's the end of the world' types when they are right? Congratulations, but you're still dead? |

Tremain is responsible for all of this. But his mom and dad do keep an occasional eye on him. "End of the world" is such a subjective thing to say. My world ends each night when I sleep and begins again when I wake up "here" instead of somewhere else…. |

I've been disappointed ever since the Heaven's Gate Cult (cut your privates off and meet me behind the comet) failed to deliver. If a bunch of web designers can't get it right, what hope do a bunch of 10th Century Mayan rock graffiti artists have? |

My Grandfather told me that as a boy, Hallie's Comet came by and many people said it was the end of the world. A family who lived near by gave away their worldly goods and stood on their roof to be ready. The end of the world didn't happen and they wanted their stuff back, My Grandfather was very up set as he had to give back the bicycle they had given him….He never believed in the End of the World after that. |

Are you familiar with the concept of Quantum Suicide? link Every time the world is predicted to end, it is a chance that it will. And every time the event comes up, it can either result in an end of the world…or not. And at each branching, two universes come into existence: the one that the world ended, and the one where we "lucked out." If you could develop a machine that can examine overall branching timelines (6th dimension I think), you can see one in which the world DID end. We're just lucky not to be in that particular one… Damon. |

There's no way I can paint all my dead-lead by December 20th, 2012. Therefore, no end of the world. So you can all thank me for saving the world. And your mangy hides along with it! |

I still have a lot of minis to paint so the end can not be near. |

I think this prediction will come true link
which is a shame, since I like John Cusack. |

We just never noiced it. Speaking only for myself, I never noice anything.

If the world does end, at least there will be no more Uwe Boll movies. |

44 prophecies that didn't come true. link |

1947 In 1889, "America's Greatest Prophet," John Ballou Newbrough, said that for sure in 1947: all the present governments, religions and all monied monopolies are to be overthrown and go out of existence. . . . Our present form of so-called Christian religion will overrun America, tear down the American flag, and trample it underfoot. In Europe the disaster will be even more terrible. . . . Hundreds of thousands of people will be killed. . . . All nations will be demolished and the earth be thrown open to all people to go and come as they please. It wasn't a great year, but it wasn't all that bad.
Not completely bad- missed WW2 by just 2 years, and didn't "In God We Trust" get put on US money in 1952. A number of nations were demolished/redrawn/have changes imposed. |
