  • Latest line from Atomic Books on the end of the world

    I've been watching a little too much History channel as of late after the games and highlight shows are over.
    After some coffee this a.m., I've handicapped the end of the world.
    Please feel free to PM with any future bets you may want to place.

    Here's the current odds on potential armageddon at Atomic Books-

    1-Global Warming- Seeing those ice caps melt how they are, with the risk of the sea rising high enough to bury every coastal city under water, I feel strongly about this horse and am laying a mere 2-1, 8-1 in the lifetime of Atomic Books. (or my lifetime, I have the life expectancy of a house fly)

    2-Asteroid-possible, but it seems we have the technology to spot it long before one may ever hit giving earth time to figure out a solution.
    6-1 on the Asteroid. 200-1 that the Asteroid hits the Houston Astrodome.

    3-Oil- This is the lead horse and favorite people. I cannot even put it at Even money. I have no idea how much oil reserves are left in the U.S., or anywhere for that matter, but when it runs out, you can cash in on this one when the complete breakdown of social behavior takes place, and scenes from Road Warrior and Mad Max take shape. Before and after the nuclear rockets fly as everyone tries to get one anothers oil. Atomic Books proudly puts this one at 2-5.

    4-Droughts- This is not a far stretch it seems. It's already taking place in western america, and if there's not enough water, then crops fail, then food doesn't get sent to other countries, then people start starving, and the price of food goes through the roof. Tell me, what good is the money if everyone else is dying?-lol Atomic Books has this one at a respectable 4-1. Good for an exacta or exacta box with the Oil if i were betting and not taking the action.

    5-Gamma Rays- Well, we've been surviving them for a long time out here in California-lol, so this one is a long shot 15-1.

    6-Jets winning the Superbowl. There are no odds for this one as it will never happen again. If it does, you can bet the ranch that Armageddon has arrived. Anyone who has gone sober, grab your nearest booze, opiates, or whatever you used to love to do and indulge yourself.

    Anyone got any other situations they want handicapped?

    wow, almost forgot the worst threat of all- Human Error-lol
    No bets on this one, it's been taken off the board, too easy to win.

        Actually...The US (NASA) stopped tracking astroids due to the heavy costs, and the fact that it would be redundat, as we DO NOT have the means of stopping one if it were heading for us...So, The only gain would be knowing the end is near. No thanks!

          12/21/2012 if you believe the Mayan calendar If that holds true that ruins my prediction that the Jets will win the super bowl in February 2013

          Global warming is real peeps...

          plague?

          drought?

          nuclear?

                The Canucks winning the cup would surely be a sign of the apocalypse. Annihilation was on our doorstep in 1994 but Brian Leetch saved the planet.

                  If somehow we could arrange to have the Red Sox, the Jets and Mike Vick in the Astrodome at the same time... and then wham! drop a fuggin' asteroid into that shiz...

                  THATS a movie I'd pay to see!

                    I could try to promote that one as a pay per view, but without the asteroid, cuz the reason of the pay per view is to see it and reap the $$$ right?
                    We'll put the Sox, Jets, and Vick in the Dome and they have to fight their way out through thousands of frothing pitbulls surrounding them.
                    All they can be armed with is a sock filled with Deer meat to attract the dogs towards them.
                    $19.95- payable to Atomic Books via PM. I'm calling Don King right now. Stay tuned.

                      You are wrong on that one but close, if the Knicks had actually won the championship a week later against the Rockets, then none of us would have met here after a double championship in New york at the garden.

                      Shawnny Boy, you're right, the Mayans were on it like bluebonnet.

                        couple more for you:

                        1) Some kind of virus knocks the folks down bad enough that infrastructure declines, then we end up without the ability to maintain what we've built.

                        2) Stupid keep reproducing, smart don't, reverse evolution - like in the movie idiocracy

                        3) We paint ourselves into an economic black hole. We print money to bridge the gap and sell treasuries to the only folks that will buy them - China. At some point China says, "we're done". The US Gov't still needs money, so we take the banks that the US owns and turn them over to China for one more fix. China buys Google and MS. Then Americans are like WTH? but it's too late. China OWNS America. People rise up, China sends in the troops to protect its assets with the blessing of the US Government it's all legal.
                        When you take a shower in space, you have to press the water onto your body to clean yourself, and then you gotta vacuum it off. - Ace Frehley

                              I'd pay double just to watch that dumb-ass Youkilis try and fight his way out of that one!
