Evil Under the Sun
|
IMDB rating: 6.60 Plot: Hercule Poirot is called in to investigate a case for an insurance company regarding firstly a dead woman’s body found on a moor and then a important diamond sent to the company to be insured turns out to be a fake. Poirot discovers that the diamond was bought for Arlena Marshall by Sir Horace Platt and Arlena is on her honeymoon with her husband and step-daughter on a tropical island hotel. He joins them on the island and finds that everybody else starts to hate Arlena for different reasons - refusing to do a stage show, stopping a book, and for having an open affair with Patrick Redfern, another guest, in full view of his shy wife. So it’s only a matter of time before Arlena turns up dead, strangled and Poirot must find out who it is… |

please read this about the end ofthe world in 2012…?
Scientific experts from around the world are genuinely predicting that 3 years from now, all life on Earth could well finish. Some are saying it’ll be humans that set it off. Others believe that a natural phenomenon will be the cause. And the religious folks are saying it’ll be God himself who presses the stop button…
1. Mayan Calendar
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j2…7 2/Mayan_5.gif
The first mob to predict 2012 as the end of the world were the Mayans, a bloodthirsty race that were good at two things:
Building highly accurate astrological equipment out of stone and
Sacrificing Virgins.
Thousands of years ago they managed to calculate the length of the lunar moon as 329.53020 days, only 34 seconds out. The Mayan calendar predicts that the Earth will end on December 21, 2012. Given that they were pretty close to the mark with the lunar cycle, it’s likely they’ve got the end of the world right as well.
2. Sun Storms

Solar experts from around the world monitoring the sun have made a startling discovery: our sun is in a bit of strife. The energy output of the sun is, like most things in nature, cyclic, and it’s supposed to be in the middle of a period of relative stability. However, recent solar storms have been bombarding the Earth with so much radiation energy, it’s been knocking out power grids and destroying satellites. This activity is predicted to get worse, and calculations suggest it’ll reach its deadly peak sometime in 2012
3. The Atom Smasher
Scientists in Europe have been building the world’s largest particle accelerator. Basically its a 27km tunnel designed to smash atoms together to find out what makes the Universe tick. However, the mega-gadget has caused serious concern, with some scientists suggesting that it’s properly even a bad idea to turn it on in the first place. They’re predicting all manner of deadly results, including mini black holes. So when this machine is fired up for its first serious experiment in 2012, the world could be crushed into a super-dense blob the size of a basketball.
4. The Bible says…
If having scientists warning us about the end of the world isn’t bad enough,religious folks are getting in on the act aswell. Interpretations of the Christian Bible reveal that the date for Armageddon, the final battle between Good an Evil, has been set down for 2012. The I Ching, also known as the Chinese book of Changes, says the same thing, as do various sections of the Hindu teachings.
5. Super Volcano
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j2…s thelenaex.jpg
Yellowstone National Park in the United States is famous for its thermal springs and Old Faithful geyser. The reason for this is simple - it’s sitting on top of the world’s biggest volcano, and geological experts are beginning to get nervous sweats. The Yellowstone volcano has a pattern of erupting every 650,000 years or so, and we’re many years overdue for an explosion that will fill the atmosphere with ash, blocking the sun and plunging the Earth into a frozen winter that could last up to 15,000 years. The pressure under the Yellowstone is building steadily, and geologists have set 2012 as a likely date for the big bang.
6. The Physicists
This one’s case of bog-simple maths mathematics. Physicists at Berekely Uni have been crunching the numbers. and they’ve determined that the Earth is well overdue for a major catastrophic event. Even worse, they’re claiming their calculations prove, that we’re all going to die, very soon - while also saying their prediction comes with a certainty of 99 percent- and 2012 just happens to be the best guess as to when it occurs.
7. Slip-Slop-Slap-BANG!
We all know the Earth is surrounded by a magnetic field that sheilds us from most of the sun’s radiation. What you might not know is that the magnetic poles we call north and south have a nasty habit of swapping places every 750,000 years or so - and right now we’re about 30,000 years overdue. Scientists have noted that the poles are drifting apart roughly 20-30kms each year, much faster than ever before, which points to a pole-shift being right around the corner. While the pole shift is underway, the magnetic field is disrupted and will eventually disappear, sometimes for up to 100 years. The result is enough UV outdoors to crisp your skin in seconds, killing everything it touches.
What do YOU think????
This is just another theory in the pile. The pile of theories that were 100% wrong.
The Biblical end of the world has been predicted to be in 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 2000, 1999, 1998, 1997, 1996…you see where I’m going..and if you don’t, you have bigger problems than thinking the world’s going to end in a few years.
Sure, it’s possible the world will end then, but it’s no more likely than it ending now, ten seconds ago, ten seconds from now, or any other time. It’d just be coincidence that it happens to end during one of the more popular completely absurd conspiracy theories.
So, in conclusion: google "end of the world + n" where n is any year. ANY year. You’ll get thousands of results. But guess what, the world didn’t end in 2009. Or 2008. Or 2007. Or ever.

No prediction have come true ;-p
If they are good at prediction, they will be able to predict next week winning lottery numbers ;-p
But they cannot.
Which means that they suck at prediction ;-p

I think you should worry about something else.
Thanks for the two points!

This is a well-known list of garbage which has been doing the rounds since it first appeared on an Australian blog. The whole thing is thoroughly debunked at http://www.2012hoax.org/7-reasons

I think someone has posted the same stuff before in the form of a question. I also think that if there are suicides over this fraud, that anyone who promotes it should be brought to police attention. In fact, I think they should already be under investigation for fraud. I also think there are a number of people on Y!A who intend to contact authorities in the appropriate jurisdictions if there are suicides.
1. In what peer reviewed scholarly journal in print, not on the internet, is this supposed Mayan prediction of the end of the world recorded? I want names of authors, name of journal, volume number, page number and date. Citation required.
2. In what peer reviewed scientific journal in print, not on the internet, is this supposed solar storm predicted for December 2012? I want names of authors, name of journal, volume number, page number and date. Citation required.
3. In what peer reviewed scientific journal in print, not on the internet, is this supposed disaster from the large hadron collider predicted. I want names of authors, names of journal, volume number, page number and date. Citation required.
4. In what peer reviewed scholarly journal of Bible studies in print, not on the internet, is this supposed Biblical prophecy for December 2012 recorded? I want names of authors, name of journal, volume number, page number and date. Citation required.
5. In what peer reviewed scientific journal in print, not on the internet, is this supposed eruption predicted for December 2012? I want name of authors, name of journal, volume number, page number and date. Citation required.
6. In what peer reviewed scientific journal in print, not on the internet, is this supposed overdue catastrophe predicted? I want name of authors, name of journal, volume number, page number and date. Citation required.
7. In what peer reviewed scientific journal in print, not on the internet, is this supposed magnetic reversal in December 2012 predicted? I want name of authors, name of journal, volume number, page number and date. Citation required.
I think I DEMAND to see the primary sources of this, not something that somebody says that somebody else says that somebody else says that somebody else says that somebody else says that somebody else says.
Most of your assertions are dismissed at www.2012hoax.org and they have the citations. That is real science and real scholarship, not fraud.
