I recently watched a documentary about japans nuclear bomb research they did back in WW2. They aren't registered having them today, but i'm sure they have some dirty secrets in their closet concerning their theoretical zero nuclear arsenal.

Well there's one problem with that. There's always someone wanting more power and control, they get that trough superior military force. If every country is disarmed from nukes, then the first country to develop new (in secret ofcourse) nukes will have every other nation at it's mercy.

So sadly, it won't ever happen. Nukes are here to stay. Noone want's to take the chance that every country will stay faithfull to the nuke-ban-act-thing.

Granny, I am sure they have already thought of it, just like the "Global Carbon Tax" thats supposed to save us from global warming, because us "useless eaters" (H. Kissenger describing the human race) are polluting the atmosphere, meanwhile all the science proves solar cycles are causing global warming. Not to mention ice based structures are receeding/melting on other planetary bodies in our solar system at the same rate as on earth.

But that's the news they chose to lose.

Carbon Dioxide facts:
Percentage of total atmosphere made up of co2: 0.054%
of that, percentage contributed by man: 6.0%

I think you have no clue what you're talking about, especially after that comment . You provide no support or evidence or even a theory about why you don't believe they existed, you simply state it, and then act like I think you're doing it to lie, when I think you actually believe it, but just have no idea what you're talking about .

OMFG!! The end of the world lies in the answer to the ultimate question (Answer is 42)....

Let's see here... If 21 * 2 = 42, and 42 * 2 - 42 = 42, and 42 * 1 = 42, and the number of days since 42 days ago is 42.... OMFG IT'S A SIGN!

We're all gonna die in 42 days!!!! Well, except Chuck Norris. Most people are afraid of death, death is afraid of Chuck Norris.


I was making fun of the movie 23, btw. Haven't seen it, just heard there's a lot of numerology like the above in it.

Everybody keeps saying that the world will end in 2012...

EXPLANATION:

The Mayans had both a solar and a lunar calendar. They intersected once in a very long time, and this marked a new age. At the end of each age, there was a major cataclysm (apparently). December 23, 2011 or 2012 marks the fifth age (I think), and the world won't end.

Sort of brief, but I'm typing with a broken arm.

Meteorites hit the earth all the time. To stop you worrying the biggest intact one Hoba 60k metric tonnes hardly made a dent in the earth when it hit I suppose it depends on the angle they hit at.



We are lucky to have Juptier which is a big space hoover that sucks up many of the stray objects in our solar system. Here's Shomaker-Levy getting sucked in.



The 2014 asteroid is supposed to be a near miss with very little chance of hitting the earth. A near miss to an astronomer is something like a million kilometers!

Go to google and search for "answer to life the universe and everything".

It really is 42!

Other google easter eggs:
Quote: "April Fool's Day jokes

Main article: Google's hoaxes

Google has a tradition of creating April Fool's Day jokes - such as , which allegedly featured the use of mental power to search the web. In 2002, they claimed that pigeons were the behind their growing search engine. In 2004, they featured (which claimed to feature jobs on the moon) and in 2005, a fictitious brain-boosting drink, termed was announced. In 2006 they came up with Google Romance.

One can find other pranks hidden in amongst Google's pages; for instance, in the languages list one can find a Bork! Bork! Bork! version of the site (imitating the Muppet Show's Swedish Chef), and they also offer versions in Pig Latin, "Elmer Fudd", Hacker ("H4X0R"), and Klingon. Another prank is Google's answer to life, the universe, and everything.

Some thought the announcement of Gmail in 2004 around April Fool's Day (as well as the doubling of Gmail's storage space to two gigabytes in 2005) was a joke, though it turned out (in both cases) to be a genuine announcement. In 2005 a comedic graph depicting Google's goal of "infinity plus one" GB of storage was featured on the Gmail homepage."

The next age according to the Zodiac (based on Zeitgeist as my source, which I am very skeptical about at the moment as I don't know what truth the documentary contains yet) doesn't the next age start 2150? Or aren't these ages linked? Though the Zodiac is solar. As far as cataclysm, I doubt it'll happen...it's just superstition based on old legends of ancient times.

The Millennium bug project was delayed to 2002, then delay to 2005, reasons for delays is that there are too many flaws to be even considered a thread. Well in 2006 Microsoft bought the project and are trying to make improvements, so after 3 more delays it should be causing terror amongst society's computers.

I'm a Christian as well, born again and firm in my beliefs, and there is no grounds in the Christian faith to say dinosaurs don't exist. They most certainly did. In fact, the Bible has accounts of dinosaurs. Please explain to me what all the skeletons are in museums.

I'd really like to know why you think dino's didn't exist. Please e-mail me back or something to avoid debate here.

If it does happen I won't see my 21st year on earth. Never going to happen as NASA will probably destroy it. Or it'll burn away and then a little asteroid hits london. Lol imagine if it burned away so much by the time it hit the earth it was the size of a rock.
