LOL!

I heard about this on Rush yesterday.
My reaction was pretty much the same as his.

I’m not giving up my vitamins just yet, though. ;o)

I thought it was funny. Some people have no sense of humor.

Well, there goes the utopian workers' paradise at "the end of history!"

Do you suppose all those Commie wackos will become harmless little Epicureans now?

In 6 billion years, humanity will have long since turned into fossil fuels many times over, and will have been superceded by waves of new species.

Hopefully, they won't be working themselves into apoplexy over "social justice!"

If Uranus had a surface, it would have a fairly comfortable surface gravity. With the Sun entering a red giant phase, Uranus could make a possible new home for us.

And we wouldn't have to move it.

Moving to another planet does raise the interesting question of whether liberal earth worshipers will worship our new planet commit mass suicide at the destruction of their former "gxddess."

““What’ll they worship when the moon and that meteor are gone?”

The ‘meteorite’ they worship is almost gone.

It broke years ago, and they had to put some metal screws into it to keep it in one piece.

See, the wise men followed a ‘star’ in the sky, to find the prophet. When they found him, they worshipped him.

Others followed the star as well. But they ended up worshipping the ‘star’ after it fell to the ground.

After Christianity rose from the blood of Christ, the Islamic worshippers were sure they were right.

First off, the eventual Christians lost their prophet to crucifixion.
Second, they came up with religion songs such as “ROCK of AGES” , and statements such as “Peter is the ROCK”.

Subtle hints that to the Islams, meant they were right all along. There religion would persevere.

They can always get another ‘rock’.”

One O’Clock, two O’Clock, Three O’Clock rock...

“GLOBAL COOLING IS HERE - the HOAX OF GLOBAL WARMING IS JUST THAT .. A HOAX .. and it always was.”

No fair! I wanna start a hoax. Everyone watch out for...Global Mating. The earth is getting seriously randy. Mt. Everest has grown bigger over the years. We must build a giant hand with a lubricated rubber glove, and launch an expedition to get the earth’s rocks off.

Ridiculous.

Eventually the sun will 'BURN OUT' and NOTHING WILL SURVIVE, even if something survives the RED GIANT stage of the SUN'S evolution!!

Quick! Someone find a way to bridge the light barrier and travel to another star! You have only seven billion years to come up with something.

Oh, please! Six billion years of job security for Al Gore?

He already maxxed out the Peter Principle when he was campaigning for Vice President; "Who are these guys?"

In a few billion years, the Sun will fuse the last of its hydrogen into helium, turn into a red giant and expand to 250 times its current size. D*MN Bush!

Yep, every bad thing that happens has to be Bush's fault.
