Have you ever heard of Nibiru and the Anunnaki?
Here's a bit of history:
About 450,000 years ago, Alalu, the deposed ruler of the Anunnaki on Nibiru, escaped the planet on a spaceship and found refuge on Earth. He discovered that Earth had plenty of gold, which Nibiru needed to protect its diminishing atmosphere. They began to mine Earth's gold, and there were a lot of political battles among the Anunnaki for power. Then around 300,000 years or so ago, the Anunnaki decided to create a race of workers by genetically manipulating the primates on the planet. The result was homo sapiens - us. Eventually, rulership of the Earth was handed over to humans and the Anunnaki left, at least for the time being. Sitchin ties all this - and much more - into the stories of the first books of the Bible and the histories of other ancient cultures, especially Egyptian. (Here's a good time chart of the alleged events.)
It's an astonishing story, to say the least. Most historians, anthropologists and archeologists consider it all Sumerian myth, of course. But Sitchin's work has created a diehard cadre of believers and researchers who take the story at face value. And some of them, whose ideas are getting widespread attention thanks to the Internet, contend that the return of Nibiru is close at hand - possibly as soon as somewhere between 2003 and 2013!
When's that calendar thingy s'posed to run out? 2012 some time?
Does anyone believe this story?
I don't even believe the story about anyone believing the first story.
Does anyone believe this story?
No. I haven't been convinced much of the bible is based on fact.
Everyone knows the aliens are coming back on Dec 24, 2011.
Did you all miss
Outer Space Connection? See, I'll be ready for them!
What? The Myans' already done did the math. 2012, we're toast. Does no one watch Oprah? ;)
ETA: Shawnee, with what will you greet our conquerors? A bundt cake? Do they even LIKE bundt cake?
I read that as burned cake.
Well, you never know - King Alfred might have had something there...
Puh, I'll take your Oprah and raise you a Rod Serling. ROD SERLING. If he didn't know all about when the aliens would return then no one does. Oprah will probably buy them all cars. Puh.
I'm thinking of greeting them with Green Bean Casserole and Pigs in a Blanket. They'll love me the most!
You're onto something there - I'll make Devils on Horseback - even aliens gotta love the bacon.
Google rules. I now know what devils on horseback are.
And, if the aliens don't like bacon, then I don't know that I want to socialize with them, anyway. Hmmmph.
Everyone knows the aliens are coming back on Dec 24, 2011.
Oh shit, how many? I have to get Christmas presents for them.
Love the picture ... if only the author could spell "were"...

Give em a break, must have been written by a lefty-winger. Hard to type with all those feathers.

I sort of suspect that this is the year we don't have to worry about doing the Christmas shopping

What, there's no feathers on the right wing?
I thought the world was scheduled to end on Dec 21, 2012.

Of course not there are no feathers on bat wings

Jesus, I'm glad you're not bitter.
Really.
I just found this. It's a calendar from India that my parents got on a trip to Asia they took a few decades ago.
According to this calendar, the world will end on December 31st, 2024.;)
When the world fails to end in 2012, I'm going to sell it on Ebay for $1000 to one of the 'enders' who needs a new date to shoot for.
If the world did end in 2024, it would suck, since I will be 65 that year and I might be able to start getting something back from the government, or at least access my IRA funds.
What, there's no feathers on the right wing?
No, because all the Onanism caused 'em to fall off. Made them go blind, too.
Speaking of Onanism, what are you doing back there, Sam? :eyebrow:
