Alien Civilization Hiding on Saturn’s Rings?

Amazing pictures taken by NASA’s Cassini spacecraft show colossal vertical structures on the rings of Saturn.  Researchers claim the massive shapes are the downtown area of an alien city.

“This discovery demands the immediate preparation of a manned flight to Saturn’s rings to make contact with these aliens who could have seeded our planet,” says Dave Standforth.  He added, “We haven’t a moment to lose as we approach the year 2012, the year of the proposed Mayan apocalypse.  Our institute is troubled by the sudden appearance of these alien structures. Remember that Von Daniken’s ancient astronaut hypothesis believes the Mayans had contact with aliens as well.  Could this be a sign of the apocalypse?  We don’t know, but we need to ask these aliens.”

What do you think?  Could aliens be living on Saturn’s rings?

2012 Prediction: Apocalypse Caused By Slow Internet

Are we running out of internet?  This report suggests this could be the case.

As we continue to wonder what might cause the 2012 apocalypse infamously predicted by the Mayans, this report has caused a stir because of the following quote from the article in the Times Online: “From 2012, however, PCs and laptops are likely to operate at a much reduced speed, rendering the internet an ‘unreliable toy’”.

Could a frustratingly slow internet cause the infamous 2012 apocalypse?  This is a possibility according to an internet researcher who wishes to remain nameless.  The reseacher said, “We’ve become so dependent on the internet that a reduction in its performance could lead to global chaos.  Banking systems, transportation, utility grids could all come crashing down.  I don’t think it’s unreasonable at all to think the ensuing mayhem could snowball into the end of the world.”

While these points are relevant to this theory, psychologist Dr. Eddie Eddington Jr. says he is more concerned about the psychological damage a slow and evaporating internet would have on the world.

Dr. Eddington said the following when reached for comment: “The instant gratification we’ve become used to with the internet and the immediacy with which we can connect to a world of information has made us extremely ADD.  Take for instance the Twitter phenomena.  Our attention spans and patience are dwindling at exponential rates.  If reports that the internet will start slowing to a sudden halt around 2012 are true, then we could very well see our collective psychology short circuit.  The results of such a short circuit could be widespread insanity, which would snowball into chaos, riots, and general anarchy.  It very well could trigger a sort of ’social apocalypse’.  Perhaps this is what the Mayans predicted.”

What do you think?  Could a slow internet in 2012 be the spark that lights the fire of an apocalypse?

2012 Prediction: Solar Magnetic Mind Storms

As part of an ongoing series on The Loki Times in which we attempt to predict the predicted apocalypse of 2012 (predicted by the Mayans ages ago),  another frightening theory is being tossed into the fray: Solar Magnetic Mind Storms.

Scientists and astronomers predict the next peak in Solar activity will occur in 2012.  These solar rampages trigger massive magnetic storms which ripple through outer space in all directions, leaving chaos in their wake.  These storms bombard our planet, wreaking havoc on electronic systems.  In a worse case scenario, the planet could confront a total electrical and communication blackout.  Anarchy would inevitably follow such an event.

Of even more concern is the potential for a devastating “magnetic mind storm”.

“We cannot forget that our brains run on electrical impulses.  The full effect of a high intensity solar magnetic storm on the human is still not understood, but given recent studies regarding transcranial magnetic stimulation and magnetic mind control (read here), we feel the result could be the obliteration of millions of human minds,” states a report by Loki Times science advisor Smigel Von Hoffenpot, also a co-chairman of the scientific organization SARS-FR.

If we lose all our electrical systems, ability to communicate, and our minds, an apocalypse could ensue due to the accidental detonation of nuclear weapons, fires, explosions, lack of medical care, and general anarchy.  Of course, this is all speculation.

2012 Prediction: The Milky Way vs. Andromeda

There’s Gonna Be A Fight

milkyway_vs_andromeda

The Milky Way galaxy, our home, appears to be prepping for a cosmic rumble with our neighbor, the Andromeda galaxy.  New measurements show the Milky Way being 50% larger than we originally thought, and it is traveling through space at about 600,000 mph, which is 100,000 mph more than the old estimates.  Read more here.

For now, let’s set aside questions regarding what this increase in speed and mass means for our lives on planet Earth.  Let’s think consider instead the more pressing issue of the Milky Way-Andromeda Galaxy collision. Disregard what you think you know about this predicted disaster.  Popular theory says it won’t happen for another 3 billion years, and that even if it does happen it’ll have no effect on us.  WRONG!  We believe this possible collision is a candidate for the predicted 2012 apocalypse (according to the ancient Mayan calendar, which abruptly ends that year). We’re happy to see our galaxy appears to be prepping for the collision, but it’s increased speed should be cause for concern since we could be riding an exponentially increasing gravitational trajectory that is going to sling us into the inevitable slug match with Andromeda sooner than we thought.

Join the grudge match.   (additional designs at the Loki Store):
