I've just noticed that every 2012 calendar in the house ends on December 30th. We're doomed! I'm just off to build an Ark.

We're doomed because our culture believes that its environment is, at the same time, irrelevant, infinite in extent and endlessly exploitable. Note how, in a time of economic recession (caused by reckless greed and stupidity), concern for the environment is downgraded as any sort of priority. Of course we're doomed - it's blindingly obvious for anyone with an elementary knowledge of natural limits and eyes to see!

I can't recall what age I was when I first realized I was going to die one day, but it was quite a long time ago. The same goes for governments, regimes, and nation states...it just takes awhile. That's why when Ahamdinejad famously quoted the Ayatollah Khomeini as saying that the Zionist regime would one day "pass from the Earth" (not be "wiped off the map (supposedly by Iran)" as is frequently and deliberately misquoted again and again in the western press), he was doing nothing but stating what is patently true of any regime, including his own, given enough passage of time. They ALL pass from the Earth in due course of time, and so do we.

I can therefore state with certaintly that we are all doomed! ;-D

To put it another way, though...it's the only way you can get out of here. It's the only possible escape from the conditions and limitations of this physical existence. Maybe that's not as bad as people think.

And December ends on the 31st. As was already noted above. So there's something wrong with Roger's calendar.

I should be so lucky. I wrote someone's email address on that part of the calendar, ripped it off and put it in my shirt pocket so I wouldn't lose it, but in that process the 16th, 23rd, 30th, 24th and 31st have disappeared. Sure am wishing I hadn't washed that shirt.

It sounds to me as if somebody's buying really cheap calendars.

All of the ones available at our (few remaining) book shops are "15 month" calendars as a minimum, usually with the last couple of months of the preceding year and the first quarter of the following one included.

They do omit the fancy pictures for the "extra" months, so maybe that implies everything will go back to black and white like in the old ancestral photos, but they do seem to suggest that things will go on in at least their usual bleak and miserable way.

Well, I've just checked *my* calendar and it too finishes on the 30th! No shared box with the 24th either...I was going to blame the Chinese, but I've just checked and it's made in Norwich, England...

Oo-er, Missus!

The Mayan predicted it would be an end of a Way of Life, not Life itself...

And as the 'Idle No More' movement is now not only rising up in Canada, hugely, but spreading to the USA too, even a rally being planned here in London (UK, NOT Ontario) on the 21st in their support...well, it seems to me that the Indigenous Peoples are already under way with this New Way of Life, as they're collectively saying ENOUGH of ALL This Shit!

Everyday about 100 million couples have sex, globally - about 65,000 couples are having sex right now. With all the alcohol to be consumed on New Years Eve, more people will most likely have sex. This, has the potential to change the Earths harmonics (and potential overlapping of orbs) and shake the earth out of it's orbit or off its axis?

What is needed is a mapping the 'sexual energy weather' so we can determine the global sexual energy tolerance. By studying the natural world sexual rhythm.

For this purpose, the world can be divided into a series of six sexual-axial polar divisions. By unifying the sexual energy type (using known national sexual characteristics, as there are significant national sexual energy differences) along the primary axis some of the polar sexual energy can be moderated, allowing for a more fluid, balanced understanding of the primary sexual energy types. This nvestigation encourages sexual energy balance rather than sexual energy polarity.

Fundamental to the understanding of sexual energy Axial Harmonics that the line between an sexual energy producing couple and its opposite point is known as the primary axis of that object. The primary axis of any potential sexual object is the focus of its influence in the chart.

Of the 18 global sexual energy harmonic levels - the 18th produces a 'nearly silent' level of resonance at 10 degree intervals around any primary axis - whilst aspects at that level may be indicative of the 'small sexual voice' of an aging population (baby boomers) in some nations, or, they may also be quite sexually delusional - as there is a "sextile" difference in each person's actual and perceived sexual energy.

The beauty of this sexual energy mapping system is that it is mathematically sound, and with the right application of orb formulae there is no 'overlapping' of orbs, so any two potential sexual objects can only be directly engaged at one harmonic level. (This does not take the implication of "the purple pill" into consideration, but it could be factored in at a later point.

Sexual and alchemical energies permeate life. These energies are not to be trifled with, and can bring the careless world to an end. The practice of simple sex, is of course, anybody's right to enjoy. My intent is to make you aware of this situation not startle you. However, I suggest you remain vigilant and In the meantime, I suggest that as a precaution you remain celibate as you celebrate this New Years Eve.

If CERN's Higg's boson output unintentionally adds dark matter to the aklready dark axis of evil (aka the North Korea factor), matters (and matter) could add more uncertainity making the potential even more scary.   All bets would be off on that one.

Fascinating. Mind you, the tectonic plates have to be taken into account. They have considerable mass and can dampen the forces built up by sex.   

Notwithstanding you use more energy (for the bloke that is) doggy fashion than missionary, (and rodeo, don't forget the energy used in rodeo, which is like doggy fashion but once you get started you tell her she is almost as good as her sister...) and yes, considerable energy is translated into kinetic means resulting in a certain amount of g, (the ratio of force to load.)

Sadly, the force is lazy couples going through the motions and the load is at least the mass of the tetonic plate you are on and pro rata the counter effect of that on the mantle and core of the earth.

Result? Inconclusive. Back to the bedroom to conduct further tests. Objective 1. Eat fish and chips to increase the g. Objective 2. See if you can get her to drop her bag of chips - this would mean success of another kind.

Musket, one should consider the spoon position and a low energy alternative to doggy-daddy. It has added benefits for those who have had too much New Years cheer and would ereduce stress on the tectonic plates (or household plates, if you are prefer year changing sex on the kitchen table).
