"The world will end in 100 days": Ragnarok - the Viking Apocalypse - predicted for 22 February 2014 | SourceWire

I see people believing, but have never heard of such a date been placed for the ragnarok, where would such a date come from?

Hope?

I hope so.

Ragnarok is preceded by Fimbulwinter, interpreted by some as being nuclear winter.

Hard to squeeze three winters into the span of 100 days.

George R. R. Martin spread winter out over years, surely it wouldn't be hard to put three Winters in three months?

They did it in that movie where they had that cold weather in America and those kids were waiting it out in the library.

What better way to encourage attendance than claim the world is ending?

Well apparently the Mayans were wrong....or at least those interpreting their calendar....

lets see how the Vikings do

...and I thought the whole horned/winged helmets thing was an epic Viking fail.

I could see how it could've been worth some shock value back in the 20th century, but lately it's been used to a point where nobody really cares, but not only that, they mock it.

Not sure, but this all sounds familiar...as if we've had predications like this in the past and they didn't come true...

I'm going to predict that within the next year, someone else is going to predict that the world is going to end within the next year or two, and claim that their prediction is based on some ancient knowledge that no one else seems to know about.

I could have predicted you would say that based on the knowledge of the ancient Sumerian Cuneiform script......
