World will end today...09/09/09 disaster predicted
News Type: Event — Seeded on Wed Sep 9, 2009 1:40 PM EDT
Article Source: the Mail onlineadvertisement
If you're reading this, then it's pretty safe to say that he world hasn't ended.
Today, the ninth day of the ninth month of the ninth year, was heralded by some doomsayers as the end of the planet.
Over the past few weeks, web chatrooms devoted to alien conspiracies, doomsday cults and numerology - the belief that numbers have mystical significance - have been buzzing with talk of 09/09/09.
Some warned of an outbreak of killer swine flu. Others that the world would be sucked into a black hole created by the Cern particle collider in Switzerland.

Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user
has on the current conversation.
The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd
row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera).
Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group
is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the
left, in their corresponding group.
Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the
number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative
one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their
relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Instead, the most exciting thing likely to happen today is the release of a Beatles computer game and the announcement of a new Apple iPod.
It's been a miserable few years for fans of Armageddon dates. The millennium passed without a single horseman of the apocalypse, while 06/06/06 turned out to be a rather uneventful Tuesday.
Believers had high hopes for 09/09/09...
High hopes for the end of the world? Oh, well.

This reminds me a lot of the scene in Ghostbusters II about the end of the world, and the two psychics.
Elaine: According to my source, the end of the world will be on February 14th, in the year two thousand and sixteen.
Peter Venkman: Valentine's day. Bummer. Where'd you get your date, Elaine?
Elaine: I recieved this information from an alien. I was sitting at the bar, alone and this alien approached me. He started talking to me, he bought me a drink. And then he must have used some kind of a ray or a mind control device because he forced me to follow him to his room and that's where he told me about the end of the world.
Peter Venkman: So your alien had a room at the Holiday Inn, Paramis?
Elaine: It could have been a room on the spaceship made to look like the hotel. I can't be sure about that, Peter.

Thanks Space Guy for providng yet another example of Carloz's Corollary to Godwin's law.
Godwin's law:
As an on-line discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches
Carloz's Corollary to Godwin's law:
Since the Nov. 08 US Presidential election, in an on-line conversation it is likely that a troll will make an off-topic Obama remark much sooner than anyone will make a comment about Hitler or Nazis.

Here's a good follow up article:
The end of the world turns out to be another damp squib
Even if we survive 09/09/09, we might be wiped out by a super-volcano, or the death of bees, or climate change - or Simon Cowell...
So, if you will allow me to tap into my inner Nostradamus, I would like to present my theories on how Armageddon will eventually come:

Well... if you turn 09/09/09 upside down, it's 60/60/60... the sign of the beast x 10, or the Super Beast! And the date that Obama gave his "speech" (if that's what you want to call it) to a joint session of Congress. A coincidence? I think not!
It all makes sense now, doesn't it?! Obama wants to turn low income people on healthcare into Soylent Green!

Well… if you take all the letters in the name “Barack Hussein Obama”, that equals 18. If you divide that by 3, you get 6. If you re-multiply that by 3 you get 18, which is the same as 6 + 6 + 6. And there you have it again! This proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that Obama is the Beast… and that I must be a Republican!
Wait! That can't be right! No... wait!!! Ahhhh... arrrrrgghhhhh....

Well all the proper orders have been signed in triplicate, sent in, sent back, queried, lost, found, subjected to public inquiry, lost again, and finally buried in soft peat for three months and recycled as firelighters. So if "THE END OF THE WORLD" finds you unawares it isn't my fault.

The Apocalypse is not a single event. It is all of human history as we spin around the toilet bowl of our own created oblivion. Perhaps we look forward for an end when the end has already occurred and we know it. In other words, the end of the world is just a metaphor for the emptiness inside of us all and the urge we feel to be what we really are... nothing.

Caesar was warned by a seer to beware the ides of March (March 15th).
When the day finally came Ceasar again met the same seer and
mockingly said; Well, The Ides of March are come.
The seer then softly said to him;
Aye, they are come, but they are not gone.
So folks, the day ain't over yet! There's still hope!

I'm so irritated with this mess. I believe the world will end when it ends. God will end it not human beings. I hate these predicted dates. There have been so many different dates "predicted" of the "world's end" but I've yet to see it. 2000 was the year the world would end. 6/6/06 was when it was suppose to end. 9/9/09 was when it was suppose to end. Now is it 12/12/2012 ? I don't know and don't care, I'll wait on God to end it all when God wants to end it for us.

I take it, then, that the stupidity you're sick of includes people like Rev. Hagee? The one show of his that I ever actually watched was aired about 10 years ago. He used the Biblical parable of the man who built his house on sand to prove the Y2K threat had been prophesied because computer chips were made from silicon, which comes from sand, and that our society was so reliant on computers that God was going to use Y2K to teach us a last lesson before Armageddon.
Somehow, this Bible scholar who overlooked the bit about gluttony being a deadly sin or the line about no man knowing the hour of Judgement not only manages to still sell books to followers with selective memories, but also was supposedly a personal advisor to our 43rd president when Y2K didn't result in the Rapture.
If doomsayers have any sense, they'll start using the return of Halley's Comet for the next hypothetical date. It will give more time to sell books and a fair chance they won't be alive to face the people who buy the hype then may get grumpy when the world's still here in 2062.
Watch. In 2013 at least 1 of 3 new books predicting doomsday will set a 2061 date for just that reason.

Above all else, respect others. Address issues and arguments and refrain from making personal attacks. If you see something disrespectful or inappropriate, report it - rather than further inflaming the situation.

The world will end on August 6, 2013, I figure. That is, if the army of robots I'm building is done by deadline. Might have to wait a while, though: a lot of parts are on back-order, and I've a lot of components that need to be invented still. Such as processors in the 10 GHz range.
