M had a nightmare about the sun going supernova too! WEIRD!!
Although, geeksprog FTW!

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I am totes not worried about the heat death of the universe. Nor did I worry needlessly about nuclear destruction during the Reagan fear-mongering years.
And yet, I think of myself as a worst-case scenario guy.

I kind of want the sun to snuff itself out during my lifetime. Is that too much to ask? Maybe an asteroid strike? Please? Pretty please?
Maybe the Mayan thing will work out for you.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I worry frequently about the Yellowstone supervolcano.

That's mine, too.

Frequently?
You guys can quit worry about that.
Q: How imminent is an eruption of the Yellowstone Volcano?
A: There is no evidence that a catastrophic eruption at Yellowstone National Park (YNP) is imminent. Current geologic activity at Yellowstone has remained relatively constant since earth scientists first started monitoring some 30 years ago. Though another caldera-forming eruption is theoretically possible, it is very unlikely to occur in the next thousand or even 10,000 years.
The most likely activity would be lava flows such as those that occurred after the last major eruption. Such a lava flow would ooze slowly over months and years, allowing plenty of time for park managers to evaluate the situation and protect people. No scientific evidence indicates such a lava flow will occur soon.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I worry frequently about the Yellowstone supervolcano.
Remember Tom, it's probably more frightened of you than you are of it.

Worry is not the right word for how I feel about the heat death of the universe or the sun swallowing the earth. It's more in the way of doom and despair.

For some reason, when I saw this, I thought Owen, as well as many other Buffista sprog and their parents might like it.
OMG, that is awesome!!
I do not worry about a Yellowstone volcano or the Sun dying, but I do definitely worry that an earthquake will level Seattle and/or make California fall into the ocean and then the US economy will be in chaos and even if I survive life will never be the same...
(Especially because I figure I am not the sort to make it through an apocalypse. I'd run out of food, loose my glasses, and get smashed by a truck or shot by looters)

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Our sun won't supernova.
I am constantly trying to say, "betelgeuse" three times to summon that one because we can see it and it won't hurt us. But so far my attempts have been in vain.
