#10  Just FYI, the DOOMSDAY SEED VAULT above is another old dream/vision of mine - NOT ONLY WILL THE COLD ICY FROZEN ARCTIC NOT BE, BUT HUMAN SURVIVORS WILL ALSO HAVE DIFFICULTIES GETTING INTO THE VAULT TO EVEN RETRIEVE THESE SEEDS [Govt too weak = unorganized]. A little pre-word for design snd construx engineers and architects, plus Pol-Mil Planners.

"PIRATES" > being awakened from the dead, find hell on earth and survivors needing help, walking 000's miles underwater or oer lands to get to an Arctic DSV wid not only bad seeds but can't even get into, then to walk 000's back to Roswell to file a formal OWG complaint in triplicate.

#9  Why, oh why, MADONNA, does GUNS-N-ROSES,
"PIRATES", and the BATTLESHIP OKLAHOMA have to walk to the ARCTIC to get seeds. ala the so-called DOOMSDAY SEED VAULT.

DSV > better late than never. Broadly speaking, is a good idea save for fact its DOOMSDAYS, and VAULTS, events in the plural, not the singular. Humanity needs seeds, including GM types, that can survive severe enviro conditions, poor to non-existent soils = arable lands, and in differentiated world regions. NOT ONLY SEEDS BUT ALSO TECHNOLOGIES, ETC. - WORLD NEEDS VAULTS, NOT VAULT.

* Year 2012 - "Quake felt/heard around the World"
* A large comet will strike the Earth and knock it/displace it from orbit. NO, 'TIS NOT SO-CALLED "PLANET X".
* RUSSO-CHINESE "WAR IS NOT ONLY POSSIBLE BUT DESIRED" ANTI-US WAR, formerly 2014-2018 +/-, now 2012-2015 as per RUSSIA vv a RUSS MIL ANALYST???
* Year 2030 - MOON/LUNAR EXPLOSIONS observed from earth. COMET APOPHIS???
* GLOBAL COOLING = NEW ICE AGE.
* GLOBAL "MINI-ICE AGE" versus SOLAR EXPANSION???
* Lest we fergit, DAY AFTER TOMORROW, TIME MACHINE, etc. TO KILL THE MESSIAH IS TO KILL THE SUN.

GUAM by itself > "KAMALEN", + various locals have described personal dreams or visions of volcanoes, quakes, and tidal waves striking the island. WHY WILL A FUTURE GUAM SEE INDONESIAN-STYLE HOMES BUILT ABOVE WATER - LETS ALL GO "BACK TO THE FUTURE" OF THE RECENT INDONESIAN-SUMATRAN QUAKES, SHALL WE?

*IFF ONE BELIEVES THAT [lower form]ANIMALS + INSECTS CAN NATURALLY PRE-SENSE DANGER, WHY NOT [higher form]HUMANS AS PER SECULARISM???

PRAVDA > Underworld/Netherworld > "ITS LIKE WAVES". See GUNS-N-ROSES.

The intent of the DSV is for the cold ARCTIC air to help preserve the seeds - how are these seeds preserved iff there is no Arctic cold air becuz there's no longer a cold Arctic? NO ARCTIC = NO SEEDS, correct? WE DON'T WANT DEAD UNDERWATER-WALKING "PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN" TO GET PISSED OFF AND VISIT OWG-NWO NASA-JPL BECUZ ARCTIC SEEDS WENT BAD BEFORE THEIR EXPIRATION DATE, NOW DO WE!

#7  Presenter: "I'm sorry, I should correct that. It should be 7.6 billion years. Billion. With a 'B'."

Woman in the front row (still a little shaken): "I was worried when you said 'million'."

#2  It is highly unlikely life will exist on Earth by the time this happens.

I once listened to a radio show in which just the known ways in which Earth could be sterilized were read off in the background, dozens of things, while the host was having a conversation in the foreground. It was timed so that you could hear the brief description of each event.

In turn, these are just a fraction of the events that could *mostly* sterilize the Earth, but from which life could recover, if at a much more primitive state. Events like this are shown to have happened several times in Earth's history.

So I wouldn't be too worried about how it will indeed be the sun that finally destroys the lifeless hunk of rock in the far future.

#1  Luckily this will happen before the next presidential election. Cause after the primary I'm not going to have the will to live any more anyway.
