A Fond Bid Adieu...maybe

Heh...like the MIB reference.

I've got my space blanket hat on...I always figured that the Maya saw 9942 Apophis in the night sky and dropped a decimal point somewhere...

I mean, with the hammocks holding us above the flood waters that the tsunami were going to bring, well...

My plan, and I need to research the implementation of it, is to quickly become a zombie, if that's the way things go. That way I won't have a worry at all, and can simply wander around aimlessly bumping into things at my leisure, and also if I then get obliterated in another manner it won't hurt.

By the way, can zombies swim? That might be good to know.

One of the key features I have heard about the end time is that there will be a loss of gravity and we will all fly into space. I figured I would duct tape myself to the underside of my hammock and sleep so if it happens I will be laying appropriately to the force applied. Duct tape fixes everything.

Simply brilliant, Cannibal! Loved it.

I wonder if the Aliens, who gifted the hammock technology, just set a date to "check in" on the Mayans to see how they fared -- how far did they spread the hammock technology left to them? Won't they be surprised to find out how they treated this technology? Perhaps the Mayans wanted to safeguard their secret -- the "open heart transplants" they performed were done to those suspected of sharing the hammock lore to other villages? Perhaps the Mayans were trying to patent their technology, using their own primitive methods?

There is hope! When Columbus brought the hammock back to Europe, the word spread, although it didn't transform the world as perhaps the Aliens had expected or hoped.

And now our charge is to find someone, some noble hanger who can stand as a witness for us all when the Aliens arrive to let them know their gift was not given in vain. To show that hammocks haven't been lost to obscurity, they haven't been treated lightly! We need to find someone who can speak for us. To appease the Aliens before the onslaught begins. Before they rain down the terror so eloquently described from the OP. Who can speak for us? Who will defend us? There is only one:

I nominate Cannibal.

Well, I'm right here on the coast. I'll probably climb up atop one of the nearby hills with a view of the ocean and watch the Megatsunami come in.

Too bad, drowning is pretty much the only death that truly scares me.

Ah well. See you all in hanging' heaven! (Where the ground is always level, the trees are always 12 feet apart, and there's no bugs! plus virgins and gardens beneath which rivers flow. Oh, wait..that's somebody else.)

Didn't hear about you in the news, emptying out your bank accounts, selling your homes and running up all your credit cards as if the end of the world was going to happen Friday? Oh wait that was a 24 year old Computer Tech that quit his job in another country.
Carry on.

Zombies don't need to swim, they don't breath so they can walk under the water.

I plan on sitting in a theater and watching the Hobbit, then if something happens I die happy if not, then I'll be hanging post Apocalypse in the Piney Woods of NJ.
