I remember hearing about some prohet that predicted the number of Pope's until the end of the world. If i ever heard his name I did not remepber it. Well it was on the news today, and a bit spookier than I recall.

Only 1 pope to go. Add in the Mayan calendar's end date of Dec 2012 and one might conclude The End is Near.
So buy that L glass - charge it! You won't have to pay for it...

| This game of calling the end of the world has been taken over by the environmentalist. |

Will DPC be having a photo challenge for best shot of the End of the World? May as well make it basic editing, I suspect there won't be much time fo advanced editing.

That was just a round number. I don't know of any serious prophets that picked that one.
Nostradamus does not give a date as far as i know, just colorful descriptions of events. Most that intepret his quattrains seem to think the end is near as well.
I can't find it now (or course) but there was a guy on TLC/Disc/HistoryChannel a while back that had a vision, and it was of the 'new world' - the world will flood. He had a map of the flooded and dry land areas. I stay dry here in Western PA, but most of the world's coastal areas will be under teh oceans.
One end of the world scenario is more precisely 'the end of the world as we know it' - this has happened before - mayans, eqyptians, romans, american indians - their "worlds" all ended as they knew them. This next ending will eliminate 75-80% of the humnas on the planet. Life will go on, but not as we know it. Unless you can run a nuclear power plant or refine gasoline you drilled in your back yard, the new world will be significantly different.
Umm, the end of digital photography probably too.

Umm...electrical generators, warm coats, a lifetime supply of salt, sugar and coffee. Get a water well going...perhaps a few thousand gallons of gas or diesel...

It doesn`t say it will be the end of the world.
Just the end of the Church.
I take this as good news ;)

Maybe if we get reservations to the Restaraunt at the End of the Universe we'll be okay? (for those of you not in the know that is a sequal to the upcoming movie/book Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy). |

Well, what ever mankinds fate is, we need to live for the now.
Satan, a planet killer, al-queda, what ever, if we don't live life like God has given us to live, then how can we teach our children the same values of life.
Our children are the future of mankind, granted, but if the x-box is more important then family, then, evil has won.
Besides, I already claim Northern LA county as mine when all hell breaks loose. Just call me King Thom.

I think the Hopi also predicted around the same time too, but again, not the Earth exploding to pieces, just a major change as we know it.
My guess the end of the world will coincide with the election of Hilary Clinton for president. If anything is going to make God say to Himself "Cripes, this is too much for even ME to endure, better to drown them all instead", then that would be it.
Lots could bring on those kind of changes if they're true....massive terrorist attack, Hilary Clinton, a yet unknown plague, meteor, Iran with Nukes, N. Korea with nukes, Hilary Clinton, global flood....could be anything.

Whatever a humna is, it frequently had Jackie Gleason tongue-tied on The Honeymooners.

Actually he did, it was 23 hundred something but I can't remember exactly. I saw it on the Discovery channel a long time ago. But a lot of his quatraines were not very clear.
Oops. I finally found it. It's 3786 or 3097. Very amazing guy for someone from way back then.

You never have to pay for it. 'Suicide is painless' the song says. Kind of defeats the purpose of buying it though. But if you put me in your will, I promise to a)take a picture of your headstone b)on the anniversary of your death try to take a photo of your ghost.
