TV Fiction Turns Real: Episode Two

Friday, March 7th, 2008

Ok, this is a little late, so please forgive me. But even after all this time, I still think it's interesting. Especially since it has a similar feel to my earlier post about Dr. Venture and Super Science being real.

On Monday, Feb. 25, "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" aired a new episode on Fox. I love that show. At one point in the episode, Cameron (the girl Terminator, protector and aid to the Connors) infiltrated a power station and damaged it in such a way that massive blackouts ensued nearby. She then took advantage of the commotion caused by these blackouts to gather secret information.

On Tues, Feb. 26, in real life, "Widespread outages [were] reported in Florida … [because] a problem with Florida's electrical grid caused a nuclear plant to automatically shut down … and intermittently cut power to up to 3 million people…."

I see three options for an explanation.

Option #1: This whole thing was pure coincidence.

Option #2: Synchronicity is at work, and Dorothy will soon visit the Dark Side of the Rainbow.

Option #3: An Artificial Intelligence has already become self-aware, and is highly amused by the stories of SkyNet. This amusement exists to such an extent that the AI refers to itself by the name "SkyNet," and will attempt to act out what it sees in all forms of media referencing the Terminator. After all, SkyNet see, SkyNet do.

December 21, 2012 Minus 5 Years Equals Today!

Friday, December 21st, 2007

Holy crap! 5 years until Armageddon!!!!!

But seriously folks… take my wife, please!

I read on Wikipedia and elsewhere that among the things that are predicted for December 21, 2012 are:

  • First Contact With Aliens
  • The Return Of Someone Called Quetzalcoatl (some would call him a god)
  • Artificial Intelligence Emerges (Did somebody say SkyNet?)
  • Rise Of The Antichrist
  • We Run Out Of Oil And Have Massive Blackouts
  • Rogue Planet Comes Near Earth And Wreaks Havoc
  • Earth Gets Smacked By A Comet
  • Earth's Magnetic Field Reverses
  • Earth Passes Through A Photon Belt — All things are bright for 3 days, and will glow in the dark for 1000 years
  • Humans Ascend Somehow
  • Humans Achieve Collective Consciousness
  • Time Travel Is Invented Or Revealed
  • Nuclear War
  • End Of The World

With so many possibilities for an earth-changing event, it looks like 12-21-2012 is a date that will live in infamy, at least until it happens and is highly unextraordinary.

But maybe something big really will take place… So just make sure you make as much money online as you can now, while there's still time!

For those of you seriously curious about December 21, 2012, here's a clip of the show "Sightings" that answers a few questions. I think it's a little old; they say there are only 2 future Popes left until "The End," but I think now we're down to one. The next Pope is supposed to be the last, according to the prophecy.
