World will end today... (Well it is 9/9/09 - and the doom-mongers are predicting a disaster)
By DAILY MAIL REPORTER 09th September 2009
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.
Doomsayers have predicted in the past that the world will end on 09/09/09 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, particularly in the UK where 999 is the emergency phone number.
Users of the alien-earth.org website combined Nostrodamus, the Book of Revelation and the Mayan prophecies with fears about the Cern Large Hadron Collider in Geneva in their gloomy predictions.
'Note that 999 is 666 upside down,' wrote one. 'Did Nostrodamus warn us from 400 years ago about creating a Doomsday Machine with the Cern LHC?'

Still here.
The only disaster that happened today is that Obama is still president.
Dec 12, 2012
Maybe Dec 21, 2012 ??
maybe the guys doing the predicting are dyslexic.....
why didn’t the world end on 9/9/1009?
I have it on good authority that it isn’t supposed to happen until 10/10/10. Then again, according to the Mayan calendar, we’re all doomed on December 21, 2012. One thing is sure, however; everyone currently alive will someday be dead.
I’m sure the doom mongers will be here next year for 10/10/10 too. :)
It’s the ILLUSION OF CENTRAL POSITION wherein everyone feels that there is something special about the fact that THEY are here. It’s happened endlessly, and will continue.
Where I live I still have 1 hour and 5 minutes to live...Guess its time for the last of my bourbon..perfect timing...
No No Dec 21,2012. The day that the 2nd American Revolutionaries are closing in on Washington DC, then the antichrist will start doomsday by attacking Russia. And Russia will have no alternative but to retaliate in full.. End of game, game over man!
[singing] Switchbox Susan won’t you give me a line / I need a doctor give me nine nine nine...
“why didn’t the world end on 9/9/1009?”
It did, and you’re a figment of my imagination.
I was just watching a History channel show on Nostradamus and he put it at 12/31/2012.
I guess we’re all out of doom dates after that year.
Yep, the Aztecs figured it out along with Nossie. ...maybe that was a different show? :)
Well I’m disappointed. I got all set for a good disaster with a soda and popcorn and nothing happened. The soothsayers must be dyslexic.
