Or get yourself a survival pod for only $48,000

“Chinese 'Survival Pods' To Help Their Maker, Liu Qiyuan, Ride Out Mayan Apocalypse (PHOTOS)”

Attachment:
Survival Pod.jpg


Snip
Quote:
Each pod is a self-contained sphere built of waterproof fiberglass and steel. When submerged in water, they automatically float upright -- and in the event the 14 possible occupants get jostled around too much, there are seat belts. Passengers also have access to a store of food, oxygen and water supplies.
"The pod won’t have any problems even if there are 3,000-foot high waves -- it's like a ping pong ball, it's skin may be thin but it can withstand a lot of pressure,” Liu told AFP.
He added, "I worked for many years without saving much money ... invested most of my money in the pods, because it’s worth it, it’s about saving lives." Each pod cost an estimated $48,000, reports RT, leaving Liu in quite a bit of debt. Then again, if it's the end of the world, that'll be the last of his worries.
:lol:

Even though I don't believe in the Mayan Apocalypse, I do think those are rather neat. 8-) If I had a few tens of thousands of dollars to spare, I wouldn't mind getting one. :mrgreen:

Good question. Since he claims the pod (and those inside) can survive 3,000 foot tidal waves, he should take it for a test run over the falls.

The article is something more appropriate for TheOnion, IMHO. 8-)

My daughter's 11th Birthday is 12/21. Should I bother with gifts, or only buy things that can be returned in case of apocalypse?

My son took precautions.

My eldest is a libertarian 2 percenter and he took his brothers and sister plus their mother on a cruise for the "end of he world". I don't know that he did this because of 12-21.

Incredibly, that wouldn't be the most interesting thing to have ever gone over the Niagara Falls. My personal favourite was a schooner filled it with a buffalo, two small bears, two raccoons, and a dog. Somehow the bears survived, but they were then shot :shock:

You know, I didn't think there was anything to all the talk of the Mayan calendar ending and stuff, but now.... now I'm convinced.

For the first time in the 18 years we've been married, my husband and I have to buy a new box of Q-Tips.

That is all. :)

I see the topics have been merged, which I have no problem with. I did want to explain, though, why I initially put it in its own thread. Things in the other "coming apocalypse" threads dealt (more-or-less) with silly things people are doing to "prepare" for the apocalypse or ways they're trying to make money off of people's fears about it.

My comment, on the other had, didn't really have anything to do with the apocalypse itself. I mentioned it because it's so rare that my husband and I have had to buy Q-tips, it must mean that something quite portentous is on the way if we're having to buy more! We'd gotten our first box about 2 weeks after we got married and moved into our new home 18 years ago. Yesterday, we bought our *2nd* box, which just cracked me up to no end.

So, basically, it was just another horribly lame attempt at humour from me that once again failed to get the funny part across. :oops:

I was just trying to be a smart ass with my question. I don't really care if we have 1, 2 or 13 apocalypse threads. My funny bone isn't working well today, though as I am in horrible pain from an infected tooth. I just got back from the DDS after my very first root canal and am waiting for the pharmacy to fill my script for pain meds. I will probably throw out some silly or nonsensical post in about an hour (when I finally have the meds and they start to kick in). Then, hopefully I will be able to fall asleep. I haven't slept since I awoke at 3 am Saturday morning.

Ah - sorry to have misunderstood, and sorry to hear you're in such pain! Today's being an especially painful day for me, too, and the pain meds aren't helping dull it much (though they're doing a WONDERFUL job of dulling my comprehension....) so I can certainly relate!

Take care - I hope the pain meds will give you enough relief so that you can get some sleep - and some respite from having your teeth hurting. That kind of constant pain can be just the worst! :hug: :hug: :hug:
