I guess PIRACY is an option?

I am all pirated out, and only want the end of the US$ to stop being postponed, these long and unnecessarily dragged out epics are bloody booooring and tedious to watch... Get on with it for goodness sake

It is like as a kid watching a very poignant scene where the lead lost his "love" interest in a very poignant scene to a bullet wound that was meant for him - it dragged on a bit and at last he said something like "...Oh what will I do now?" to which a wag replied as only a callow youth can in such situations - "kiss her whilst she is still warm" and the house lights came on, ushers were flashing torches trying to find the subversive influence...

December 22nd 2012 is the last day of this world.

It looks like I will still be around probably giving Mannie lessons in lady boy recognition, A terrible job but some one has to do it.

This is my post way back page 2# I think its still a good idea.

QUOTE=Frosty;93043]Saving your life and that of your immediate family in a boat built to survive world flooding has already been done. 300 cubits long I think it was, Noha was his name, this was a long time ago of course. The biggest problem Noha had was all the animals he decided to take along with him. Had he had a methane engine of some sorts he would have been laughing, as it was the story ended with him grounding out half way up a mountain in Iraq.
I have heard some consider cost of such a vessel,---why? you wont be paying for it would you? Personaly when the time came i would just wander down the local marina and pick one out, after inviting some freinds from the strip club at the end of our street. One has to consider occupying ones time whilst lazily drifting from continent to continent, and I might need female companionship if it was later found to be necessary to start a new generation for the planet.

Im not sure what the wife and kids plans are.[/quote]

I still haven't heard any good reason why a modest power boat fueled by ground up politicians wouldn't be the perfect solution in a world gone mad

cheers

When you supply, I´ll process them!








Though it might get hard to sell that as "green" fuel, hähh?

Ahhh Sub Tom good to see we have a dilligent soul ready willing and able to capture this live energy source load onto a livestock carrier (big bulk carrier designed for the purpose usually used to carry live animals to the middle east so they can be killed according to Halal requirements)... I am sure at his end Apex1 would be equally humane in their dispatch... How long till the process plant will be ready? - I think the cattle ships are available... being perishable cargo and requiring food it may be best to ensure there are no shipping or processing delays...

Have you given a thought to earthquakes and therein lies a conundrum for the land could well become fluidised and flow with greater menace than being on water... (you seem to be on the edge of a vigorously active region... Westie (long time no see, how have you been keeping?) see this region http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquak.../Australia.php - - Keep safe, be blessed in your efforts to bless others...

The world's land mass will not totally sink- Japan wiil get it along with the eastern seaboard of the U.S. Florida will go first then the Carolinas.Westen U.S. not affected save by civil unrest rioting for food,fresh water. Also,it's global cooling NOT warming-we are entering into an iceage.Interesting sidelight,the world may be better off without so many humans making plastic floating islands in the south pacific among other things .
Build a motersailer-the best of both worlds.If you are concerned about the pollution factor of a deisel,go electric/photovoltaic.
