It's a site devoted to various end-of-the-world scenarios. Pretty cool.

I honestly don't think I should look at that website...my hold on sanity is tenuous enough as it is.

You know you want to... :D

I recommend the articles about gamma ray bursts and the oil crash.

Hee hee. I love the onomatopeoia that they have for each method of ending the world. Especially "Tilt" and "Attack".

True, but I still don't get what the Eiffel Tower has to do with the end of the world.

Nothing, but the article it links to is pretty good.

It's a very good site. They aren't your typical scaremonger site either, as they do go into detail as to how unlikely most of the scenarios actually are.

I'm surprised they had something I've never heard of before. The concept of a Verneshot is kind of interesting. It would make interesting viewing, if it occurred on a different planet and I was watching it from a good distance away.

Yeah, I had never heard of that one before reading Exit Mundi. It's creepy, in a way, to think that our own planet could blow us up just as well as a meteor could.

Yeah there are quite a few I've never heard of. Check out the article on pole shifting.

If it happens in 5 billion years, I'll be content.

Give me my 5 score and 10 and I'll be content.
