Oh well. If the nukes don't take us out from the upcoming Desert Storm II, this surely will.
Well, maybe by then the pick up line "Sleep with me, the world's ending tomorrow anyways!" will finally work :p
Also, the part of the URL with 'wwn' just caught my eye. Probably "Weekly World News", in which case we have absolutely nothing to worry about -- that is, unless batboy flew to the sun, had bigfoots child and sent the half-fish half-man photoshoposaurus to blow it up... :lol:
Those damn Dutch. They always up to something !!!
Also, why is this in "Entertainment News and Gossip"? We have a winner :)Quote:

This story was started by TOOL to sell more copies of Aenima.
.....not.
*sigh*Quote:
I would assume it is incorrect for the sheer fact that its on the entertainment page.
Still thats a bit disheartening
Tell me about it. Time to party till it's 1999, let the stealing and pillaging begin! Pass the bong, too, while you're at it. :bang:Quote:

Dumb.
Everyone knows that millions of years from now the sun will grow a dark-reddish color and expand, engulfing the earth and most(if not all) of the other planets in it's solar system - immediately incinerating them into nothing before collapsing upon itself and becoming first a Red Dwarf, and later a black hole with a gravitational pull so great that nothing, not even light, can escape... as eventually happens to all stars of small-to-mid range.
I mean, Duh.
actually it won't likely engulf the earth - it'll stop just shy of it. Fortuneately for us, Saturns Moon Triton has all the gasses of a primordial Earth and will be nice and temprate by that time. Yay!
Also - it requires a star of at least 20 solar masses to create a black hole - the sun will become a useless brown-dwarf star after briefly becomeing a red giant. Brown-dwarves are about as pathetic as they sound - small and reletively heat/lightless.

Damn you, tracer! How dare you expose me when I talk from my ass! Gotta change the subject!!

i don't wanna die a virgin.
Shit, raystorm, you scared me...
Friggin' tabloids...
I have learned not to trust anything that is Dutch. Ever since Dutch Boy paint seriously let me down with its weak-ass color selections...
No it won't.
Regardless, it would still kill each and every living thing on this planet.Quote:

On the bright side, we may not have to worry about asteroids anymore.
You have six years, a girlfriend and the end of the world on it's way. If you can't get laid under those circumstances, you deserve to have your sun explode.Quote:

Edit: oh and Porn & Chicken was funny. :D
BTW did anyone else happen to notice that the scientists were supposedly from Amsterdam? I think they might be toking a bit too much of the wacky weed.
Anyway, there's nothing about this on ESA's website, which supposedly did the research.
Its a cover up! :D
So you're telling me I won't get to have tons of unfettered unprotected sex in 6 years? Damn you for ruining my dreams.Quote:

oh well, shit happens
Did ANYONE notice cka's post about noticing the Weekly World News?
...it's about as real as the horse born with the human head.
They must all be busy chasing down the batboy and photoshoposaurus. :p
Not if we move to Warm Sunny Titan :)Quote:
