[OT] Five Planets aligning? End of the World?

[Mark]

Looks like a good show. Why are some touting it as the ending of the universe as we know it?

Mark, that would be because some peoples' lives are so depressing that they're hoping that the world will end and put them out of their misery.

Dinkeldog my mom was like that with Y2K... she was upset when nothing happened cause she wanted to quit having to work...

she isn't right in the head.

 

[Mark]

Good point, D-Dog. (See you at the June Chicago Gameday, right?)

Sorry to hear that, Dimen. It's sad when hope is lost to that degree. How's she doing now? Can you share this rare alignment watching experience with her now? It should be quite a sight!

I have seen so many end of the world situations I am starting to believe there is a Buffy out there fighting evil and stopping it.

I think people are just unhappy with their lives and are looking for a change. You also have people using it to cause fear, which in turn they use to their advanage.

It wasn't too terribly long ago that ALL the planets aligned. And, believe it or not, nothing happened.

 

[A2Z]

Ahhhhhhh! Run for your lives! The Revelation is upon us!!

 

[Hand of Vecna]

The stars are almost right... and soon GREAT CTHULHU shall be upon us!!!

 

[BiggusGeekus]

Wups!

Time to fire up that old ritual! Hey, anyone got any sacrificial virgins? I'm fresh out.

 

[Henry]

Oh, Great!

NOW the stars align, and Cthulhu is nowhere to be seen on these boards! The loser! He couldn't even WAIT for the proper moment!


Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn, my hairy butt!
