Massive solar storm to hit Earth in 2012 with 'force of 100m bombs'

[Hilarious Clinton 452]

The sun is a mass of incandescent gas

A gigantic nuclear furnace

Where hydrogen is built into helium

At a temperature of millions of degrees

Yo ho, it's hot, the sun is not

A place where we could live

But here on earth there'd be no life

Without the light it gives

We need it's light

We need it's heat

We need it's energy

Without the sun, without a doubt

There'd be no you and me

The sun is a mass of incandescent gas

A gigantic nuclear furnace

Where hydrogen is built into helium

At a temperature of millions of degrees

The sun is hot

It is so hot that everything on it is a gas: iron, copper, aluminum, and many others.

The sun is large

If the sun were hollow, a million earths could fit inside. and yet, the sun is only a middle-sized star.

The sun is far away

About 93 million miles away, and that's why it looks so small.

And even when it's out of sight

The sun shines night and day

The sun gives heat

The sun gives light

The sunlight that we see

The sunlight comes from our own sun's

Atomic energy

Scientists have found that the sun is a huge atom-smashing machine. the heat and light of the sun come from the nuclear reactions of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, and helium. (*)

The sun is a mass of incandescent gas

A gigantic nuclear furnace

Where hydrogen is built into helium

At a temperature of millions of degrees

It will happen on Dec 21. The Mayans said so.

Please show me where the Mayans predicted that a Solar flare would wipe out technology, or the earth plates flipping over like pancakes, or some other apocalyptic scenario. All the Mayans said was that mankind would have a collective change of mindset, be more in tune, and all that zen feelgood stuff... A new era basically, not the end of days.

I'd just go to my family's farm, fresh water, food growing everywhere, space, away from cities, no power grid (we have a small dam and a turbine that generates light for the few houses there), and the experience of living in a farm without lights. Plus a bunch of guns and good hunters.

I've seen the new era stuff, but I haven't seen the zen stuff. As I understand it, it's quite vague. Simply a "next level" or "new begninning" as the calendar starts over.

I have heard people interpret it in different ways. Either the sky is falling or there's world peace. What I haven't heard is a definitive explanation either way.

Do you have a good enough plan and enough ammo to hold off the hungry zombies?

So that's where they get their money from!

The hungry zombies would have to find us first, and they might starve before they reach us.
