*gunshot!*
* IndonesiaWarMinister has shot himself in the face!
* IndonesiaWarMinister has been struck down!


Kidding aside, damn, this is one very surprising news.

Who is the real maker of 2ch again? Since he made the *original*, wouldn't he is a class higher than moot?
Or is it just HOW MANY FANS YOU GOT game?

Yeah, its mARBLECAKE ALSO THE GAME.

The results were fuxxored because of a few hackers exploting Time's survey url or something like that.

The most influential person is Barrack Obama, dispite the internet polls.

Yeah, and NASA still doesn't know if they want to name their space-bathroom after Cobert or not, last I heard.

But Mayans could tell future! How else could they have prepared so well for climate change?
No.  Wrong.  More recent research indicates that 2012 was the date at which the Mayans would have drawn up a new calender, along with much celebrating, including stuff like local sports and feasting.  It was not meant to be any indicator of the end of the world.
I think that there was more death and chaos than sports and feasting in Mayan tradition. The change of the calendar was a change of the age, and ages tended to end in near-destruction of the world. This is the fifth age, and the previous ones ended in floods, volcanoes, and stuff like that. Supposedly the fifth age is the last one. Though I could be remembering all this wrongly; I'm too lazy to wiki it now.
Too bad the Mayan civilization didn't predict that 500 Spanish sailors would singlehandly bring their civilization to ruin. Guess they didn't see that one coming, huh?
That was the Aztecs.

Heard a funny thing about that poll Time magazine had. Suppoesedly the people from 4chan rigged the vote so the top candidates spelt "Marble Cake" with the first letter in their names. If you look really close you can still see it there.

Edit: Seems they got it back to Marble Cake.

Funny thing; last night, while were were playing our online D&D game, the power went out at our DM's house and the server crashed. About two minutes after he gets up and running again, the power goes off at our (my S/O and I) house.

The alarm bell at the factory across the street was going off for maybe 45 minutes and there were a bunch of people shouting in the apartment complex next door. Kind of felt like the zombie apocalypse might be close.

In general I don't buy into notions of "the end of the world" , although "the end of the world as we know it"* seems entirely likely. Humans are like rats, there lots and lots of us and we adapt to other areas pretty easily. The world as it is now may change, the human race may even die in significant numbers, but I think we'd be extremely tough to eradicate as a species.

* (You could argue that this happens on a daily basis.)

I think the real threat here is "End of Humanity"

Completely destroying Earth would be a bit difficult.
