Ganked from Sarah Laurenson who got it from Natalie Whipple.

Eek, this is funny! (And a welcome antidote, although an uncomfortable parallel to this, which I read earlier today.)

If the world is going to end within six months, I might as well eat more chocolate!

Sarah Laurenson said...

I know. It's too good not to steal. "Ganked" huh? Have to remember that one.

Now to check out your link that doesn't sound nearly as funny.

YES! MORE CHOCOLATE!

Sorry. Got carried away there.

Mother Earth is about to fart?

Looks like my wife's unemployment won't run out before we all die.

Maybe Genius: :D

FairyHedgehog: Now that is a very practical, reasoned response.

Sarah: I suspect if the drilling is triggering this to happen prematurely, the fart won't be big enough to wipe out all life on Earth, but it would be a disaster.

Best get down to eating chocolate, either way.

They stole my fart line.

The whole gulf thing is a pretty wild theory.. Yes there is huge vast untapped fields of frozen methane down there, but it does break off and surface once in a while, it is the best explanation for the Bermudian triangle.

But the last extinction event has been conclusively tied to the Yellowstone super volcano, there has been ash and dust from Yellowstone super volcano that has been found world wide at a consistent layer.

And it is due to erupt again any century now!

Well, if you believe the media we're always just a few days away from extinction, either from swine flu, an asteroid, or the large hadron collider.

So far it hasn't happened but we all know that the Mayan calendar ends in 2012. That could be as big a disaster as the Millenium Bug was.

Clearly fear sells.

Sarah: Evidence of your brilliance, obviously! We shall sneer at their verbal thievery, the cads.

Sarf: Yellowstone's one place I'd love to see; given how active it is, I guess no one should be surprised to learn it's poised to blow...

FairyHedgehog: I once heard someone describe that style as the "things have changed, and you should be afraid" template for news stories.

OMG, where do I start? This is absolutely hilarious. And they have such straight faces, they're so serious. Thanks big time for sharing.

Eric: I know! It's the spot-on impersonation of real television pundits as much as the content of the jokes that makes this so hilarious.
