They say the guy isn't a world renowned scholar, so how did they manage to find out about his "research" and then publish a story about it? There are all kinds of people in the US predicting outlandish and ridiculous things all the time. I don't recall them getting the attention of newspapers.
God: (standing on a chair behind Noah, he rings a bell once) NOAH. Noah: (Looks up) Is someone calling me? (Shrugs and goes back to his work) God: (Ding) NOAH!! Noah: Who is that? God: It's the Lord, Noah. Noah: Right ... Where are ya? What do ya want? I've been good. God: I want you to build an ark. Noah: Right ... What's an ark? God: Get some wood and build it 300 cubits by 80 cubits by 40 cubits. Noah: Right ... What's a cubit? God: Well never mind. Don't worry about that right now. After you build the ark, I want you to go out into the world and collect all the animals of the world, two by two, male and female, and put them into the ark. Noah: Right ... Who is this really? What's going on? How come you want me to do all these weird things? God: I'm going to destroy the world. Noah: Right ... Am I on Candid Camera? How are you gonna do it? God: I'm going to make it rain for a thousand days and drown them right out. Noah: Right ... Listen, do this and you'll save water. Let it rain for forty days and forty nights and wait for the sewers to back up. God: Right... Narrator: So Noah began to build the ark. Of course his neighbors were not too happy about it. Can you imagine leaving for the office at 7 AM and seeing an ark? Neighbor: (enters whistling, with brief case) Hey! You over there. Noah: What do you want? Neighbor: What is this thing? Noah: It's an ark. Neighbor: Uh huh, well you want to get it out of my driveway? I've gotta get to work. Hey listen, what's this thing for anyway? Noah: I can't tell you, ha ha ha. Neighbor: Can't you even give me a little hint? Noah: You want a hint? Neighbor: Yes, please. Noah: Well, how long can you tread water? Ha ha ha
Note to self: Learn to surf...book trip to coast for 2007...setup camera and catch killer wave...send to mags...get famous.
What a bunch of crapola......lol I love the part about the ethnic clensing in WWII.... This dude really needs to study his history a bit more and quit blaming the US for all the worlds problems. We have helped far more nations then any other country and asked for virtually nothing in return.
Dr. Neil Frank will hyperventilate and die right on camera. Dan Rather will come out of retirement to stand on the shores of the Outer Banks in nothing but a raincoat as the 1000 foot wave arches up over him. Jim Cantore will attempt to broadcast live while surfing from LA to Denver. Bill Clinton will walk the devastated shores of Branson and feel their pain.
Note to self: Learn to scuba or snorkel... purchase WATER-RESISTANT Camera equipment to record Falcons Talon in the cut-back during the hang-ten of a hollow with a honey... then record a wipeout on a closeout... get famous.
Let's see, only the U.S. coastlines in the Pacific and Atlantic will be affected by these large waves? Impossible. Say a large asteroid entered earth's atmosphere, broke in two with one part hitting in the Atlanctic and one part hitting in the Pacific. While both would create devastating waves, those same waves would wipe out the coasts of Europe, Africa, South America, Mexico, Central America, the Carribbean islands, Japan and who knows who else. Seems like the waves would be taking out most of Western Civiliazation, not just the "great satan".
Well it just goes to show that religious wackos come in all stripes. Didn't the Maya predict that the world would end in 2012? Perhaps we need to start placing bets on which year the world will end. Just for fun though I'll play along. Two giant tsunamis need not be spawned by asteroids because there already is existing tsunami dangers. On the Atlantic there is the possibility that one of the Canary islands could collapse into the ocean that would spawn a massive tsunami headed towrds the US East Coast. It might not hit Europe that hard because the orientation of force would be towards deep water in the direction of the US. There could also be a major eruption along the mid-Atlantic ridge or on one of the volcanic Carribean islands. On the Pacific side a massive undersea earthquake hits near Japan but in a way to direct its force towards the US West coast. Lets say there's disasters simultaneously in both Atlantic and Pacific. While those would cause massive devestation they wouldn't be able to wipe out the US. Why because the US is huge and conveniently has mountain ranges relatively near both coast that would sheild off the vast majority of the country. Devestating yes but to quote Morgan Freeman from Deep Impact "We will survive.."
Yep, the dude just had Tsunami's on the brain because of the Al Jazera news cycle. As bad as the recent Tsunami was, it effected what, like 1/2 mile inland from the coast. That's pretty wimpy on the Destuction Of Civilization As We Know It scale. That's pretty much gonna require The Plague, a Super Volcano, an Asteroid or a Nukuler Holocost. If you want to put the fear of god in us you need think outside the box.
If I sealed my basement up with reinforced plexiglass, I'd have pretty much the nicest aquarium ever!
