    You’d think I’d want to reference Watchmen, but that had a happy ending compared to Punisher: The End, which seems FAR more plausible.

    Great I had just gotten the image of blue bits scrubbed from my mind and you put it back there.  Now I need more brain bleach.

    It’s already “midnight” in the future, we just haven’t gotten there yet.

    Yeah, I have to agree with you. I’ve seen way too much evidence that suggests UFO’s are very much against nukes. I don’t think we could have a nuclear war even if we wanted to. Kinda makes ya feel good, ET’s got your back. ;-)

    So the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists have revealed themselves as a Propaganda front.  They want us to worry about the fabricated Iranian nuclear threat and carbon footprint (they don’t seem to mind all of those tanks rolling around in the Middle East burning fossil fuel).

    The real threats to humanity are Fukushima and depleted uranium.  Maybe these “Atomic Scientists” will finally take notice when their own babies are born deformed.

    At midnight, I think the clock should play “We’ll Meet Again” by Vera Lynn. It would be both appropriate and nostalgic.

     it’s just an allegory. there is no correlation with real time clocks. as we approach midnight we approach global nuclear shitstorm. during the cold war they measured it in seconds. it’s a silly worry-o-meter. it can move either way through time to show we’re getting closer or further from the sky falling.
