How do you think the world will end?

This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

Ummm, I think I get what you mean, but how do future events influence a game in the present again? Was there time travel involved anywhere there??? Im confused.

You can run, but run fast.... 1 shot is all I need.

Arcon, I'm sure I've seen that somewhere before...remind me. Or did you just make it up and it happens to be the same?

The Hollow Men
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.

Well, it could end in one of these ways:

Global warming will weaken the polar ice caps, a large chunk of Antarctic ice will break off and alter the balance of mass on the Earth enough to throw the rotation out of whack and kill everyone with massive tidal waves.

If Global Warming IS true, anyway. I still think we're just on one of them warm streaks we have every hundred years or so.

You know, I hate being one that is being acused of doing something wrong.

Most physicists and astronomers alike sing a different tune when it comes to global warming.

One program, targeted at studying Jupiter through a large radio telescope, has found that Jupiter is also going through global warming that has not stopped, and gradually increased over the decade. Okay, fyi: there are no humans on jupiter. No cars, hell, Jupiter might not even have a 'surface'. So what now?

The magnetic poles (north and south) are currently flipping. North becomes south, south becomes north, birds become very confused... It has happened with the sun, and virtually all other planets (that we can tell), with exeption to mars (no magnetisphere).

During this time, Earth's Magnetisphere weakens, allowing more particles from the sun to enter the atmosphere, thus giving us more heat. In about a decade or two, things should cool down a bit.

Does that mean we should stop production of more fuel economic cars? No. Less money for us to pay, less to the Islamic fundamentalists.

Whether you or I like it or not, we do play a role in global warming. Just not as much as everyone thinks.

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I have tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice
I think I know enough of hate.
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great.
And would suffice.

Shamefully stolen from Robert Frost.

I'd actually would like to hope that the world won't end, except in the inevitable fashion of it being consumed by the sun (in a few billion years of course). Of course, there are mulititudes of other ways that it could end, and personally, I think it is a useless exercise to determine the world's end, due to the number of possibilities, and also how unlikely these ends are.

" There are only two infinite things in life, the Universe and Human Stupidity. And I'm beginning to doubt the former "

So yes, probably the latter will destroy the world .Anyone else know who said this ?

That quote was from the inimitable Albert Einstein, I believe.

Post Fri Nov 12, 2004 11:28 pm

Yes, it was from Albert Einstein.
