2012

The world isn't going to end in 2012, but that doesn't mean we can't hawk a spectacular ball of nonsense on the premise that it will: Behold the teaser trailer for 2012.

So which of the 2012 gribblies has caused the oceans to overtop the Himalayas?  Obviously not a CME or solar flare.  Is it that boneheaded pole shift where the crust picks up its petticoats and shimmies around to the other side?  Sudden and massive ice sheet meltage (surely not fast enough)?  Planet X or Nibiru or Set giving us a mega-tide that only affects water and not, say, random old Buddhists?  And can we get the One World New World Ordermentinati in on the act with that conspiracy of silence?

Roland Emmerich movies all suck, but some suck well - Independence Day is absolutely glorious, a perfect thing - and some suck badly.  Day After Tomorrow, my hippy shadenfreude is looking at you, 'cos a lot of us hippies are this way down to the science that you totally ignored.

Have to admit to a "Holy Fuck" moment when the sea came crashing over the mountains, rapidly followed by the oceanographer in me looking rather sceptically at the water flow, followed almost instantly by "Oh gods, PLEASE don't do a Clive Cussler and make out that the reversing magnetic pole is caused by the Earth's crust revolving on the mantle as a result of hydroplates, because that would suck major ass."

I think it's gonna be hydroplates. If we're really lucky, it'll be hydroplates. Otherwise maybe a mega-tide (yes I know, but...)...

It's a good "holy fuck" moment though.
