    Well technically (from what we know) The next cosmic event to affect our world, galaxy, sun, solar system is the head-on collision between the Andromeda galaxy and (our) Milky Way galaxy.

    The Sun will (apparently) have a new location and so will our stars. What does that mean for earth/our world? Who really knows.

    Of course M33 (Triangulum galaxy) may hit our milky way first.

    I have no idea how the whole will end but I'd guess it will outlast all the humans that live on it!

    Yes. Though I must admit I did like the movie. I did read the books out of order the first time.

    80% of the world are going to turn into slow mongoloids while the rest of the 20% and turning into warewolves to scare them and tear them up.

    Reminds me of that short story by Stephen King.

    Apologies if I've repeated myself, but I think this planet - and the world/universe itself - will be around far longer than us humans.

    (to JWPearl - "slow mongoloids"? Not sure what's meant by this.)

    Yeah- I think this earth has longer staying power than we humans.

    You refer to some people as "slow mongoloids" and elsewhere "retarded".
    And you are a Christian, correct?
    Just wanting verify, that's all.

    In saying that it retardedness would be like inflicted deliberately due to consciousness not to innocence like the retarded people that are born retarded or have an accident and become retarded etc, mine joke had Godly connotations if you can broaden your mind

    "Retardedness.... inflicted due to consciousness"? I would be far more open-minded about your post if I had an interpreter and besides, I think you were referring to "retarded" people in the "What's so funny about peace love and understanding" thread. Either way, it sounds like a bad put down. Interesting form of Godliness, eh?

    Damn, it took me a bit to find this!

    "Word Processor of the Gods" (pulled from Wiki):
    A middle-aged writer is disenchanted with his tyrannical wife, his disrespectful teenage son, and his life in general. He receives the gift of a custom-built word processor from his nephew, a teenage electronics genius. Unfortunately, the nephew suddenly dies in a car accident caused by the writer's abusive brother, who was driving drunk. The writer must figure out on his own how to use the gift. He discovers that this word processor enables him to write things into existence, delete things from existence, and alter the fabric of his reality – at least, as long as the rickety word processor still functions. He erases his wife and son, and seconds before the processor's demise replaces them with his nephew and the nephew's kind, gentle mother.

    I sure loved his old stuff. He and Rod Serling had an interesting take on humans and humanity.

    No in other words like Godly inflicted punishment to best describe it upon the consciousness of people who were aware of their wrong doing and crimes and that was a form of justice, sorry I did not explain myself clearly and disabled is a different form of state if it were inflicted by God so I was not referring to the same kind in the peace and love thread. If your looking to debate over a joke I'm not going to bite but I will just pass on

    Okay, now I definitely think it's going to be the Yellowstone supervolcano. I was already kind of worried about it, but this morning I was told by a respected archeologist that my fears are totally justified. I know she's not a geologist, but she definitely knows all about that shit as a part of her work. She said it's perfectly likely that it will go off any time now, and that if 100,000 human beings survive it they'll be lucky. That's 100,000 people in the whole world. image

    At any time now or 1000 years from now, lol. No one knows, but there is increased activity, and its eruption is overdue. Since this is the volcano connected to Old Faithful going off at the same time of day every day, the fact that a super-eruption is overdue is worrying for us. So any time as in today, tomorrow, next month, next year, next decade, next century, etc.

    I would say that there is no place that's safest, since the eruption would cause the equivalent of a nuclear winter, and all plant life and pretty much all animal life would be dead within a couple months. You really don't want to survive it unless you have a self-sustaining underground city to live in or something. You'd be best off being close to it and dying instantly, to be honest, so you're spared some misery.
