The Ragnarok Apocalypse: February 22, 2014

[boedicca]

The end really is near.

Ragnarok will be here tomorrow! February 22, 2014!!!!!


Viking warriors have begun to arrive in York in preparation for the end of the world.

'Norsemen' from across the UK and further afield are converging on the historic Yorkshire town as Ragnarok, the final bloody battle predicted in Norse mythology approaches on February 22.

Believers say that when the fateful day arrives Earth will split open, unleashing the inhabitants of Hel.

The wolf, Fenrir, son of Loki, will break out of his prison and the Midgard snake Jormungand will rise from the sea.

Nidhogg, the dragon of the underworld, will gnaw at the world tree, Yggdrasil, until it groans and wilts.

Then as the ice giants of Jotunheim come thundering over the horizon, the dead heroes of Valhalla will descend from heaven to fight them.

These events were prophesied by the god Odin who had hung himself from Yggdrasill for nine days so he could die and be re-born with wisdom and foresight.

The apocalypse coincides with the 30th JORVIK Viking Festival, which is taking place in York until February 23....

I guess those of us that dont go to Yorkshire will be far from the battle and remain safe?

 

[O.R.I.O.N]

I hope.

 

[Disir]

So, it's running until the 23rd for the rest of us then.

You end of the world loons weren't embarassed enough on Dec 21 2012?

 

[Delta4Embassy]

Have to ask yourselves if you really believe is end is nigh, why tell people? What does that accomplish but terrorizing the weak-minded ones, some of whom kill themselves. Really wanna be responsible for that?

 

[AVG-JOE]

Hey now... I appreciate any religion that will go ahead and set a date for the end. That way we can mark our calendars and move on.

 

[Mr. H.]

They don't call it mythology for nothin'.

 

[JWBooth]

It's the end of the world as,we know it
The end of the world as we know it
And I feel fine....

How'd that "re-born with wisdom and foresight" thing work out for Odin?

Other than that, leave it to those knucklehead Norse to plan a Festival for the day after the end of the world.

Who knew they're all dimocrats?

You end of the world loons weren't embarassed enough on Dec 21 2012?

Condolences on your lack of a sense of humor.

Perhaps your OBAMACARE can get you a transplant.

Did I miss something?

 

[boedicca]

Did I miss something?

Something? You miss everything.

 

[Moonglow]

Well it's the 25th and the Earth is still round.

 

[Indeependent]

Did I miss something?

Something? You miss everything.

My wife has been informing me of that for over 20 years; especially birthdays and anniversaries.
