I'm in constant contact with a lady in the UK this evening (and have been since november last year) she is so scared for herself and her kids.
I've had to promise to email her at midnight so she knows all is ok.
These damn doomsday nobbers scare mongering people to death.
Every time the media reports a NEO, earthquake, unseasonal weather etc she messages me asking if it's the beginning of the end.
And while WE take it as a joke, there are a lot of people out there who see this pseudo science as the real thing.
There is even a fellow on FB reporting earthquakes all over the globe that he says are happening right now. (that page and all his reports have been reported as spam )
I'm mad, I'm more than mad, I'm ropeable.

Well, that was a fail of magnanimous proportions. I just bought a Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM. Was hoping not to have to pay the credit card off. Bugger.

What timezone is this apocalypse supposed to happen in? And is that Daylight Savings time?

As for people really believing it, I'm torn between sympathy for the afflicted and scorn for the willfully stupid.

An event going to happen anyway is a transit of Venus from Saturn.

Had a few storm clouds on the horizon this morning. Then the Sun rose and they went away.

No giants planets in the sky, all a bit of dud really.

They just dont make end of the worlds like they used to.

Is there anywhere you can apply for a refund.

Still alive!

I can't believe there are people out there who actually believe all this. That lady in the video said "humanity will be launched into a new age"''

Reminds me of that song called Apocalypso.

Still here but we have all day to contemplate our doom. I'm off to image Sol, just in case it goes up. I want a record of it. I'll try to get it processed before the shock wave hits.

BTW no large planet in the sky at present. Come on Nibiru show yourself.

Blame me,

I decided to perform the chant, even though no one paid me the $100. Phooey, I saved the world for nothing. I am to blame for no apocalypse. No "End of The World". No Niburi.

Ah um a um a um.

Cheers

Actually the world did end. However a new Earth was created at Magarathea because it ended too soon and we were all seamlessly re-created to fill the new planet.
