Praying for lower Gas Prices...

There was a story heading around about groups praying to lower gas prices. I scoffed. You can't really lower the gas prices the amount you can pump depends on the sources you have and even pumping as hard as we can we only get less than what we pumped back in 2006 and the rate has started to decrease. With increasing demand the price of gasoline and oil more directly is going to continue to go higher and higher without fail or end in sight.

But, the Lord works in mysterous ways. They started praying as national gas prices were at $3.53/gallon. It was near 4 dollars when the story was being picked up nationwide. Today the national gas prices have fallen below $1.80/gallon.

Wow. How did God do it?




That's the DOW Jones from May 2008 until today. Crashing the world's economy reduces demand. If you don't have a job, you don't have to drive there.

I was clearly wrong. I lacked imagination as to how gas prices could ever be lowered given increasing demand and stalled output. I figured that peak oil would crush us under the mighty and clear implications that we were wanted more of a limited resource than could be produced. I simply didn't consider crashing the world's economy.

What the end of the world would look like...

Except after getting brighter there... it would get even more bright and more bright before a lot of bad things happened.

NIBIRU 2012 A.D. The End? - No.

I don't pay much attention to idiots but apparently sometimes it's too funny not to. Did you know that the planet Nibiru is set to destroy the Earth in 2012? Now you may ask, what's Nibiru? And why 2012? Nibiru is a mysterous planet X which may be a red giant from 100+ light years away (slated to travel suddenly at Tachyon speeds to get to us in the next 4 years) or a somehow undetectable planet on a far out orbit. But, Tatarize, you ask "isn't the definition of planet such that anything crossing the orbit of another planet shouldn't really qualify?" - Yes. But, we aren't dealing with reasonable facts here... we're dealing with bizarre conspiracy theories assembled out of effectively nothing.

Oh, and 2012 because that's when the Mayan calendar ends. Why should you believe the Mayan calendar has any bearing on reality? You shouldn't, also you should note that the Mayan calendar doesn't end in 2012 it starts another cycle. It's like saying the world will end in the year 999 because they never got around to using the fourth digit yet.

12.19.19.17.19 is going to roll over to 13.0.0.0.0 oh the humanity! Clearly we're going to be hit bit an undetectable bit of space junk of the gravity of it floating by will cause chaos!!
