NY Priest Visited By Spirits, Warned of Apocalypse
The founding pastor of the Times Square Church in New York City is telling people to start stockpiling supplies for an impending apocalypse which could happen at any minute, to which we reply “duh.” If you haven’t been preparing for the last 40 years, than you’re way behind the game. Here’s the story, via LiveScience.
Stockpiling for the Apocalypse: What is the first thing you’d store up on?
Have Astronomers Discovered Super-Earth Exoplanets?

Astronomers discover a new planetary system orbiting star HD 40307. Could these planets be super-earths inhabited by alien civilizations?
We are discovering new planets outside of our solar system with increasing frequency. Up until now, we’ve only been able to detect and see supermassive gaseous planets, but the discovery of the planetary system surrounding HD 40307 is significant because early measurements show these planets could be terrestrial, and therefore potentially inhabited.

The discovery arrives on the heels of news about a mysterious and unexplained galactic radio transmission. Loki Times science contributors are currently pouring over data to see if the source of this transmission is from aliens inhabiting the planets surrounding HD 40307.
What do you think?

2012 Prediction: The Milky Way vs. Andromeda
There’s Gonna Be A Fight
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):

Rats, Is There Anything They Can’t Do? Part 3
Well, it’s finally happened. Researchers have figured out how to create biological computers using rat brains. We are one step closer to the creation of Rat Cyborgs. But these breakthroughs open doors to even more frightening vistas of the future, a future in which machines CONTROLLED by rat brains CONTROL the world! Some day mankind might fall prey to the whims of super-powered Rat lords!
We can take comfort in the fact some rats appear to be decent creatures. Take for instance the bomb sniffing rats (read here). But we’ve also all heard stories of plague carrying rats. And then there was also this prophetic movie.
So where does that leave us? Only with frightening speculations as to where rat brain powered machines and computers might lead. What are your visions of this future?
