That's it folks. The world is coming to an end. No profanities please.

Well I guess it has to finish sometime and what better than in about 18 months. Gives everybody time to develop a serious habit to make the departure a little easier. I know that I'm going to change my life for the better - God will like that.

Oh, thank christ.

Anybody living with a woman already knows and fears the red moon of doom.

"Moon of doom: This week's blood-red moon signals Armageddon, say the Bible thumpers... Time to head for the hills!"

Finally... We won't have to put up with any more Daily Mail nonsense any longer then.

Right. Well, so long and thanks for all the fish.

That phenomenon isn't all that rare. Feckin' world. Always on the point of ending. If I didn't know any better I'd saw the place was designed by a French car manufacturer. Nothing works properly and it's always on the point of letting us down. Anybody notice the climate control going haywire recently?!?

On the other hand, if we maintained it better it wouldn't go through do much oil...

Right so. Back on the fags

I'd be worried if my blood was that colour.

'High in the heavens, the Moon will turn an eerie blood-red — filling the night sky with fiery radiance, as if Mars, the planet of war, has suddenly burst from its natural orbit and arrived on our doorstep.'

That is very poetic for the mail. Bravo.

We had a good run anyway. How many world endings have we managed to survive in the last couple of years?

I get a notification that my eye operation is being transferred to another hospital, I really hope they are faster than the last one, I really like to see the end of the world!

Doom mongers indeed

I better get the washing in so.

Any chance we could call this a lunar eclipse, and not a blood moon?

You know like the higgs boson, and not the god particle?

Doom mongos, more like.

Bring it on. I just made my peace with the Lord this morning. A few smallish Brandies, half a dozen cans of Guinness, a few lingering gulps of Poteen and all this without having to go to Mallow for a Rail ticket. You know, even the widgets made an Old Testament sound. Like the trumpets in the Walls Of Jerico. I feel a strange, beautiful mental aura and the world looks great. In fact everything is just as I would expect in an 18 month-to-go-end-of-time scenario.
Think I'll have a few HunkyDorys and a pot of Barry's before Herself returns from the Crucifixion - nails and hammer at the ready. :rolleyes:

It is this kind of behaviour on a Good Friday that causes these Armageddons. Should we just perform a sacrifice? That used to work all the time staving off the apocalypse.

First Setanta, now this. Is nothing permanent?, ffs.

Great idea. I propose a few well fed moderators. I realize that virgins would be a bit unrealistic

According to a clutch of number-crunching American pastors, each of the last three occasions when tetrads have fallen over Passover and Sukkot coincided with traumatic events for the Jews. A tetrad in 1493-1494 came just after the 1492 expulsion of the Jews from Spain, while a 1949-1950 tetrad followed just after the establishment of the state of Israel and the first Arab-Israeli War.
As for the most recent tetrad, in 1967-1968, it started just before the Six-Day War, when Israel was once again threatened by its enemies.

Ah OK, well I'm not Jewish, so I won't be affected *phew*

I was really worried there for a second.

Though I love how they call it a "rare" event and then list two which occurred in the last 70 years. In astronomical terms that makes it an everyday occurrence.
