    Y2K hasn't come yet, man. 2048: that's when Y2K's coming for real.

    :D


    I dunno, I'm not exactly holding my breath for something to happen, but I'm not exactly betting against it. The multi-planetary alignment could be what triggers that polar flip, perhaps set's off the Yellowstone Cauldera which could possibly have enough force to set off the San Andreas fault which would trigger massive tsunami's as Cali slipped off the continental shelf in a huge domino effect,,, but note how often I use the term could.

    Don't build your life around the vague possibility...

    If anything, I'd be more concerned over a complete collapse of society when the Economy craps out once and for all.

    Proof of what, that fearmongers are predicting "The End" in big bold print because the Mayans didn't want to dig up another big rock to start carving on?

    I mean technically you're right there, nothing to guarantee anything there.
    But there are a number of cyllic earth events that we are in a "window of opportunity" for these days. Yellowstone cauldera according to most geologists erupt's semi-regularly on a 50,000 year cycle, give or take 10,000 years (Something like 5,000 into that window now iir.) The Polar flip is another instance of a documented event that's been repeated throughout the earths history, and again we are in the window of opportunity for that to happen. One other potential event is that of massive solar flaring which some think might happen approximately around 2012 or sooner.

    But yea', nothing written in stone, just a bunch of maybes all lined up in a row. Again, I wouldn't hold my breath or loose any sleep over it. I mean, even if it were to happen,,, WTF ya' gonna' really do about it anyway, stop planets from aligning?

    During good ole’ days of the cold war we were under the constant and imminent threat of nuclear annihilation but now the threat has passed and so has the excitement :(

    So in order to fill the void it’s Y2K, solar flares, mega-tsunamis, magnetic reversals, ozone depletion, acid rain deposition, killer asteroids, mega-volcanoes, 10.0 earthquakes, and (you better put some butter in your pocket because we're all about to be toast) 2012 prophesies :eek:

    My parents spent a fortune on supplies for Y2K. They had everything but a bomb shelter.

    Uh, that was a little programming joke. Binary numbers don't make nice round figures, so they're usually rounded. 2MB is not exactly 2,000 kb; it's actually 2,048 kb. Therein lies the joke :D

    Yea, got it, that's what the green smiley was for :D . The rest was more in response to the thread in general. Sorry I failed to clarify that.

    I hate that show, and i like ghost hunting videos. I would prefer they found nothing and just gave the history then watch the group hysteria unfold.

    I mean even if there was a ghost, you'd never hear or see it the amount they hog the camera and scream like little kids.

    Christ, just what we needed... another activist group.
    This reminds me of something I read once about the infamous haunted ebay painting, and that after all the talk of how it was haunted and cursed and would kill you, some nerd got up and compared it to the slave trade, saying "would you sell your grandmother?" and stuff like that. I mean, I guess there is something to think about in it, but seriously, who sits around and dreams this shit up?

    For the record, I think ghost hunting is fun and I believe it can be productive for the poor trapped spirit when done right. If it's being a belligerent asshole, though, that's a different story and it can kiss my ass.
