We’ve survived the Mayan apocalypse and Y2K, but be afraid—the end of the world is coming…again.

This time it’s the Viking apocalypse that is allegedly set to destroy Earth, with Norse mythology claiming the planet will split open and unleash the inhabitants of Hel on February 22.

Oooo...that would mean I would be elevated to the seer speaking rune casting crone of the clan. Women would swoon at my predictions, mighty men would quiver in fear at my prognostications. Or not.

And yet the Vikings have never won a Super Bowl. As a Green Bay fan, this only makes my belief in Heaven and where I will hopefully go at the EOTW, even stronger. :)

Make the DM News tab your bookmark, and you’ll get rid of most of the “Femail”.

So it's not the end of the world just yet? I don't need to wish for it as much?

It may be close (the end)...but I can change browser setting and feel fine?

Well al-righty then. Things are looking up.

Previous to your note, I didn't even notice that side-column was named "femail".

I tried the suggestion (usually only go to uk dailymail when there are links to there from here) and the results are almost as bad as the "femail".

Uhhg.

Forget it. Bring on the Vikings.

...and while you're up...could you bring me a beer? Haven't had a drink for some time now...and with Apocalypse soon to be paddling ashore, though it might be a good time to knock back a few (or a six-pack).

Aah, thanks. Don't mind if I do. But had better hurry. We wouldn't want perfectly good cold beer to get warm.

I think I'll start on the left...

Why wait until the 22nd? We already have an open border policy.

It was a tourist thing in York.

Everyone had a good time, and judging by the ammount of alcohol (mjoed) connsued, the revellers surely felt like the world had ended :P
