As we are one month away from the Apocalypse (if you one of those people who believe in that misinterpreted Mayan calender stuff or are concerned about that newly discovered wondering planet, which has made Professor Brian Cox very pissed by the number of twits he's getting from you) I have a few spanners I like to throw into the conspiracy works.
Is it me, or is it a coincidence that the supposed date of the end of the world coincides with the 25th anniversary of the Lockerbie bombing?
And here's a few more events that happen to coincide with the end of the world...
(I may have got the numbers wrong, but they are close)
The 894th birthday of Archbishop Thomas Becket
The 737th anniversary of the death of Giovanni Boccaccio
The 392nd anniversary of the landing of the Mayflower at Plymouth Rock, Massachusetts
The 208th birthday of Benjamin Disraeli
The 199th birthday of Archbishop Archibald Campbell Tait
The 172nd anniversary of the founding of the Rochdale Society of Equitable Pioneers
The 105th anniversary of the Santa Maria School Massacre in Chile
The 99th anniversary of the publication of the world's first crossword puzzle
The 75th anniversary of the premiere of Walt Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
The 72nd anniversary of the death of F. Scott Fitzgerald
The 50th anniversary of the finding of Rondane National Park, Norway
The 45th anniversary of the death of Louis Washkansky
The 44th anniversary of the launch of Apollo 8
The 33rd anniversary of the signing of the Lancaster House Agreement
The 20th anniversary of the crash of Martinair Flight 495
The 18th anniversary of the eruption of Popocatepeti, Mexico.
In fact, here's a list to sieve through yourself.

With such information, I'm sure all your conspiracy nuts could think of something that connects all these events (no matter how far-fetched). It'll give you something to do while you wait for the end of the world (and trying to find a way around that security system that's preventing you from stowing away on that rocket ship/ ark that's been built in a secret location to protect the best of the best from Earth (or whoever's got the most money)).
Although, recent excavations of the Mayan kingdom do show some evidence that the Mayans knew that some of us will assume the world is about to end because of their calculations. In fact, one recently discovered scribble on a wall has been translated and said "The simpletons will think this will mean the end of the world. What a jabe that will be - Bazinga!"
Consider this.... in a multyverse... i.e. where an infinite number of universes exist in alternate dimensions ... (a serious postulation by some theoretical physicists).... then there will ne an ifinite number of them in which the 'Mayan end of the world prediction' will happen...
ReplyDeleteMmmmmm.... and the means there are an infinite number of you where you WILL be there at the end of the world...
IJJT...
