No one's said it's getting on their tits. Myself, I'm enjoying reading it. There's nothing inherently annoying or objectionable here, it's just your seeming inability to engage in human discourse that frustrates people.

There's maybe 4,000 Floyd googlers who disagree though.


Literally no fucking clue what that means. But in the context of the internet 4000 people is like saying 3 people in China agree with me.

Isn't the fact I've singled out Iceland in the last few posts enough.


No, you fucking ridiculous loon. Iceland is a volcanic island. Any moron can say "at some point in the future there will be a significant tectonic/volcanic event in Iceland". That's not a prediction by any stretch of anyone's imagination.

I may well put you on ignore again, but only if and when I choose to do so. For the moment I am interested in confronting you with the gulf between your delusions and any semblance of reality. Of course I do this with the caveat you might still be a troll - there are no clear demarcations between delusion and trollery, just a sliding scale - but I'm inclined to think not.

 

Mud on the windscreen, the first bolt-hole of the seer; 'predicting it isn't as easy as it was...' What a pity! Because we're all pretty good at postdicting, to be honest. Why, even I can tell you what happened last week, at least on the days I wasn't drunk.

 

So, Iceland, then, old bean: what's going to happen in Iceland, and when?

 

Oh, and if you are unable to furnish a clear prediction of an extraordinary event, then I think you need to accept that you are to all intents and purposes indistinguishable from a fraud or at best, a self-deceiver. Think of it as an inverted Turing test.

 

<edit> In the interests of fair play, I will offer you my own hostage to fortune on what I believe to to be a similar scale of (im)probability: I predict that Grant Shapps, newly appointed Tory party Chairman, will be forced to resign his office in the next two months.</edit>

I love you all, you're just so gay!

But I don't love you because you're gay. Your gayness makes me laugh.

Keep making me laugh gaypeeps!

just chucking in a prediction here ~

The Greek island of Santorini, volcanic eruption sometime soon, possibly within months

Within how many months? WE WANT ACCURACY!!!

See, Snort? That's the way to do it. No spurious postdictions, No Nostradamian mumbo jumbo, just bold prophecy unsupported by any theoretical underpinning, other than Santorini being a volcanic powder keg responsible for one of the largest eruptions in recorded history.

 

Incidentally Jon, if it does blow up & Oia, one of my favourite places in the whole world, gets damaged then I'm holding you personally liable.

Can I ask you a question?

What caused the Yangtze to turn red?

Some people are citing pollution, while others are claiming it's one of the biblical plagues run amok.

So, I'm wondering what your take on it was, and if we should start securing the Thames should the Women's Institute get wind of it and the idea catches on.

Edit - Also, why didn't you predict it?! :-@

How do you know they're reading this thread?

So just to be clear, you believe that Iceland will have a major earthquake in November, possibly on the 9th?

 

Is there any terrestrial geological significance to an eclipse? If not, why would 'they' 'hang the blame' for a major geological event on it? Superstitious natives?

So we might have a -7.5R earthquake?

The eclipse in November is on the 13th, but those dates from 53 seem to be either in September, or two months apart. And neither suggested date is the 13th. So I'm not sure what to make of it all.

Why is Iceland being targetted like this?
From: Manthorp11 Sep 2012 14:08
To: patch 307 of 392

I don't think there is much to make of it. The dates are either an Americanised 9th and 11th of September, or this Sunday just gone and the 9th of November. Only the latter makes any sense in terms of his prediction of a massive geological trauma in Iceland in November.

 

He is unequivocal in his middle sentence, both that 'they' created the magma wave this morning and that 'they' are going to 'blow the big Katla' in November in order to disrupt Iceland. Quite why 'they' have got it in for Iceland is, as you suggest, a major mystery that only he can enlighten us on. Neither do I understand how or why the subsequent catastrophe could be blamed on the eclipse.

 

It's a bit like the Ricky McCormick case. There is a natural inclination to find meaning in apparently complex human constructs, but when it evades all attempts at interpretation, eventually you have to come to the conclusion that it's just raving.

Perhaps 'they' are planting the explosives during the eclipse, ready to set off the 'big Katla'.

 

That'll give 'em around 5 minutes to get into Iceland, prime their kit and vacate again. However, given how immigration control can be, 'they' probably wouldn't get pass baggage checks before everything blew up.

 

Or something.

 

In fact I'm getting bored of trying to interpret the writings of a loon, as you said it's probably down to raving-ness. So, here's a nice poem I wrote:

 

I'm eating a bowl o' porridge.
Chopped banana,
But no raisins.

You get raisins delivered by post!?
