Fuckin' felt that earthquake here, man.  That was weird.  The last one I felt here was maybe back in 2006.

2006? last one in the Ottawa valley was in 99... Quakes that strong here are REALLY rare.

Apparently people died in the trailer park here when the twister hit :<

We haven't had a hurricane in my area in a GOOD while. I'm glad too, my house would more then likely collapse on itself in one.

Well these events are things that might happen around here once every 10 years, or more. The last quake out of the ottawa valley was 99, and barrie had a tornado a while back (quite a while ago now, actually, like, 20+ years), and that was the closes we''d ever heard of a twister getting to here. And now we have both hit in one day. If this isn't a sign of the apocalypse i don't know what is, lol.

Does anybody believe that shit about a supposed meteor hitting the earth in 2012?  I actually went to therapy a couple years back just for that reason.  I believed all of that nonsense on the history channel and I felt like I was just too damn young to die.  Sure, if I knew for a fact that there was an afterlife, I wouldn't give a rats ass when the world ends.  What do you guys think?

I call bullshit on all that 2012 shit. The whole reason that people are freaking out is because the mayan calendar counted backwards from a date in 2012. What people forget is that to the mayans, the end of the calendar was the signal of a new era, kinda like how the year 2000 is regarded as special, seeing that it is the second milennium since the date of christ's death.

Plus, what's the point of worrying even if we are gonna die in 2012? Why not just enjoy life, and if shit happens, deal with it then. If we're all gonna die then there's nothing we can do anyway.

I hear you.  Everyday is a blessing and you just got to take it for what it's worth.  And if I die in 2012, 6 billion other mother fuckers are going we me. ;D

I kinda hope Earth is destroyed in 2012. Then my species can finally swoop in and collect the abundance of minerals we don't have in our system.

You'll have to construct additional pylons, first.

Anyone worried about 2012 go to 2012hoax.org

I actually came across it a year and a half ago, and I won't lie I was pretty bought into the fact that SOMETHING was going to happen. I did graphics for the site and got to talk to the people responsible for creating the site. There are some very brilliant people dedicated to shattering that bs.

Hope that gives you some peace of mind.

Heh, yeah, I'm not buying into the scare.  Bottom line, if something apocalyptic does happen in 2012 there's nothing we can do about it.  It'd be like walking around every single day in a panic because you knew that you're bound to die one day in the indeterminate future.

Also, honestly, how many times throughout history was the world supposed to end in a spectacular Earth Shattering Kaboom (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EarthShatteringKaboom)?

(and now that TV Tropes has been linked to, this thread -- and possibly forum -- will quickly become devoid of life.  go me!)

... Thank you for wasting another 30 hours of my life. Every time I go to that site, I don't leave for hours. ;o;
