According to the following articles, the world will soon end based on the claims of one Dr. G Gartrel. Gartrel claims that he has know for over 20 years that a giant dust cloud is heading towards the earth which may result in catastrophic events. The first signs of the cloud will be the darkening of the sun sometime during the 8th or 9th of June. Three comets, along with millions of pieces of debris, may hit the earth between the 18th and 28th of June.

Personally, I'm not too worried. The guy claims that he is 60 yet he writes like an anrgy young adult. He also mentions something briefly about the year 2012.

Meh, I've lived a short and meaningless life.

Well damn, time to go off the deep end and begin my descent into rampant hedonism.

Hard drugs and debauchery here I come!

Yes... it is teh end of the wordl

ph34r the 17 crocodile rapists of the apocolapse who are going to kill you and sell your corpses to the telletubbies who will cause the tapes to mysteriously dissapear until some time in 1949 at teh aucttion of a dceased estate who will sell them to NASA who will use them to help make the 1969 Apollo 11 mission posible. That will mean that the earthlings will invade mars in 2010... the problem is that in 2004 the apocolapse will arrive and the 17 crocodile rapists of the apocolapse will destroy the tapes and accidentally set their crocodiles on fire, who will then get intimidated by godzilla and thus try to be like him, destroying tokyo, and then causing, inevitably the destruction of the space time continuum and destroying the universe.


June 8 is my bithday.

... :twisted:yeah.. that'd be fucking fight.. my birthdays right in the middle (june 23)

On the 8th of June Venus will transit the sun, we will see it as a dark spot moving slowly across the sun for 6 hours, perhaps that may explain your darkening of the sun (though it shouldn't really cause a noticable darkening, it'll just look like a very large, moving sunspot)

im not worried

I lost count of all the "the end of the world is neigh" messages floating around the 'net.

I am very scared.

Okay, the first people to die will be:

Lutton...for trying to blame me.
Dragons Bay...for laughing.
Lapse...for saying something I didn't understand.
Aust...for wetting the bed.

Oh, and Vitania will be spared because he/she said happy birthday to me.

This guy is an absolute quack.

First of all, he provides no proof that these exist, other than a bunch of vague references and an image captured by NASA that could mean anything (I'll admit that I don't know what it is, but I imagine that that was his reasoning behind it, use it to confuse and panic people that don't know any better)

Secondly, his "vast cover-up" idealism is farfetched and unsubstantiated. He claims that people try to hack his computer every ten seconds (or something to that effect), however any computer connected to the net has that problem (just run Ad-Aware, and then you'll see :-)) He comes off as a paranoid delusional old man.

Third, as part of the links used as "proof" (towards the bottom), he uses images of the sun captured by NASA satellites. There's nothing abnormal there; just a lot of solar flares and sunspots changing location and intensity from time to time.

Last, he claims that cloudy skies have appeared and that's because of some cloud (or some such, didn't quite catch the rambling...) that will end the earth. This could simply be caused by an inversion layer (weather phenomenon, nothing special) or wildfires, or volcanic ash (like the islands of Hawaii), etc.

Whole lotta things on that website just don't add up, and I think that if this "Doctor" actually does exist and is really saying what he is, then perhaps he should be checked into a psychiatric ward pending a full investigation.

If it's just something cooked up by the uber-uber conservatives (yes, I am uber conservative, but these people are further right than I am, and that's saying something...), then I think that they should be arrested for the same crime that yelling "fire" in a crowded theater is.

Okay, the first people to die will be:

Lutton...for trying to blame me.
Dragons Bay...for laughing.
Lapse...for saying something I didn't understand.
Aust...for wetting the bed.

Oh, and Vitania will be spared because he/she said happy birthday to me. Ph34r teh Apocolapse

I like how he gives himself an out.

Although the information in this article points to "apocalyptic" events within a month's time frame, unless the Anti-Christ is revealed to the entire world in June, we believe they will not occur.

So stay hidden, Mr. AntiChrist, because I'm travelling this summer and I'm not ready for the end times just yet.

8th of June eh? That sucks, I haven't gotten laid yet. Can we try 6-8-06 or something? [/sarcasm]


Does he have an e-mail address? Can I tell him how much of a quack he is on the 8th?

Too late Steph, I said it first! :P

That's my birthday too! I PWNZ J00 ALL!!!!!1111oneoneonetwo

The doctor sounds like an idiot, by the way, I remember someone typing in green text from another forum...I remember linking this forum to that one a long time ago....could it possibly be someone from Sleipnir's Stuff comming to haunt me? *points to Lapse* But I don't wanna donate all my modding work to Sleipnir! Not the forum mafia! God save me!

Damnit! That's two days before vacation starts!

so if it's gonna happen what are ya'll gonna do? riot?

It's oxymoronic that thiese articles come from a web site called: bushcountry.org. Are they trying to tell us Bush is the Anti-Christ? 'Cause that would be easily revealed and reveled by a majority of people.

I'm not worried. If the world ends, it ends, I don't have power to control it. I'll live like I do everyday, fully. Simple as that.

I've Already Debunked this shit. Just goes to show how ignorant doomsayers really are. I'm surprised it's spread as far as it has.

One minutes left according to my clock.... shall I start a countdown?

You had to wait for it to become the 8th before you refer to him as a crazy person?

Stupid people...What is happening tomorrow on the 8th is Venus is passing in front of the sun. Its not dust clouds ending the earth....Its just Venus calm down we arent going to die...Its only Venus...

Actually, it's the 7th here. I only came across this today...

Will you quit ruining this for me? Encouraging stupid people to be stupid is the most amusing thing I have going for me at the moment.

I already posed something like this. Actually the same article as well as links to a conspiracy site that goes out of it's way to figure out if this Aussie Bloke is off his rocker...

But I have the same question as Lithuanighanistania: what time zone?!!! What time zone?!!!!

*Runs to the hills screaming incoherent dribble*

Someone needs his booster shot of amphetamines.

Here, I am sure that you will find this link to be very useful.

:wink:

Who cares if the world ends...I get my shiny un-burned copy of Bad Religion's new CD. The burned copy is good, but you gotta support the bands you like.

Well, it's June 8th, and I'm still here... :P

Oh no! It's june eighth and it is teh DARK outside! The world is ending! Oh, wait, it's 12:30 at night-- that might explain the darkness.

Death doesn't feel so bad...I bet it just has a bad PR team.

Hello chaps,am here in good old Australia(not Australian but am a Singaporean based there) and its already the 8th of June.No brimstone of hellfire or anything like that yet.

Hmm...perhaps the information you gave was slightly inaccurate.

The Sun's already set here. No sign of any disastrous portents yet.

Since the world is ending and all, I have a confession to make.

I drowned an elderly woman I was taking care of and buried her under a porta-potty in a town north of Tulsa, called "Owasso."

Too Bad, I was kind looking forward to the end of the world.

Dr. Gartrell is a real Astronomer and he's kind of pissed off (http://www.rense.com/general53/hag.htm) that some kid is dragging his name through the mud pretending to be him.

Here is what started it all: Bush Country: Is The End Of The World As We Know It Right Around The Corner? (http://www.bushcountry.org/news/may_news_pages/g_051604_assiebloke_end_world.htm)

And a nice page on the hoax: "Aussie Bloke" and The End of The World (http://www.weatherquestions.com/Aussie-bloke-end-of-world.htm)

Thats what I think of this thread.

Amusing.But I'm still alive and prefer to be that way,thank you very much.

Death is not conducive to my present states of existence,and will progress that way when I am ready to do so.

AHH!!! THe four Horse men of the Apocalypce are here! cutting of f the heads of any1 in theire paths! EII!!!

Oh, wait...Sorry it's just the Border Patrol. A family nearby has been sheltering Illegal Mexicans.

Calm down a bit everyone...do you know how hard it is to organise an apocolapse...one of my crocodile rapists just ran out of viagra so he will be a little while...
