Clear your calendars: Viking apocalypse scheduled for Saturday
Thor, Odin, Loki all scheduled to attend epic battle hastening world's end
Now's the time to cash out your life insurance policy and have a little fun, because, according to Norse mythology, the world is ending this Saturday.
Sorry to be a bummer, but you should know we're about 100 days into an epic battle that will culminate with the earth falling into the sea, NPR explains.
On the bright side, at least you'll have an excuse for not going to your nephew's Chuck E. Cheese's party on Sunday.
For those whose understanding of Norse mythology begins and ends with the Marvel Comics' version of "Thor," the story behind Ragnarok, aka the "Viking apocalypse," or "doom of the gods," is arguably more spectacular and imaginative than anything Hollywood could dream up.
Here's what's coming, according to Time magazine. On Saturday a huge battle commences among the various Norse gods. All the heavy hitters will be in attendance — Thor, Odin and Loki to name but a few.
They'll fight (and when gods fight, it gets messy). Eventually, the Earth will split open, Viking-Mythlogy.com explains. Residents of the underworld will surface.

Sheesh, first it was the Mayans and now the Vikings. If these people hired social coordinators we wouldn't be having the end of the world on six different occasions. I mean, the 22nd is a Saturday. I had plans. And who ends the world on a Saturday anyway?
Sorry, busy. I can pencil Ragnorak in for next Tuesday if UPS brings my new coveralls from Gander Mountain. I'm not going to Valhalla poorly dressed.

"doom of the gods," Do you mean that Obozo is stepping down ?
Oh Goodness ! That would mean that BIden is President ??
AT Least we now officially have the "Clown Price " !!
