Future of the human race

[Jagdaddy]

[FONT=Times New Roman, Times]I'm more optimistic than these guys were . . . I think, though it's hard to say if they're over or under 10,000 year on their prediction for our demise. I suspect they had some pharmacological aid in coming up with their prediction . . .

"In the year 2525
If man is still alive
If woman can survive
They may find........

In the year 3535
Ain't gonna need to tell the truth, tell no lies
Everything you think, do, or say
Is in the pill you took today

In the year 4545
Ain't gonna need your teeth, won't need your eyes
You won't find a thing to chew
Nobody's gonna look at you

In the year 5555
Your arms are hanging limp at your sides
Your legs got nothing to do
Some machine, doing that for you

In the year 6565
Ain't gonna need no husband, won't need no wife
You'll pick your son, pick your daughter too
From the bottom of a long glass tube

In the year 7510
If God's a comin' he ought to make it by then
Maybe he'll look around himself and say
``Guess it's time for the Judgement day''

In the year 8510
God's gonna shake his mighty head
He'll either say ``I'm pleased where man has been''
Or tear it down and start again

In the year 9595
I'm kinda wondering if man's gonna be alive
He's taken everything this old earth can give
And he ain't put back nothing...

Now it's been 10,000 years
Man has cried a billion tears
For what he never knew
Now man's reign is through
But through the eternal night
The twinkling of starlight
So very far away
Maybe it's only yesterday...

In the year 2525
If man is still alive
If woman can survive
They may find......." [/FONT]

Jag, your freakin me out with the red print, man!

I tried to set up a vBet, but was constrained by the four digit year. Why didn't the Y2K folks fix this once and for all?

Holy crap! It's settled then. The world will end in the year 10,000. Just like it did in the year 2000.

So was I the only one who was nervous on the millennium and did not go out partying due to it? I received crap about that for YEARS.

My Dad's an oral surgeon and used to work in emergency rooms. He generally won't leave the house on New Year's Eve, millenium or not: Too many amateur drunks straining their faces, and potentially yours, through windshields. So, just change your excuse retroactively.

In my opinion, it will take an act of nature to bring the human race to complete extinction. Nevertheless, I'd put the over/under on "the end of life as we know it" at...I don't know...180 years.

The human race does not exist now. We are all merely figments in the mind of a hairy, morbidly obese dude in an institution.

Thump?

How long do I think the human race will exist? Correct me if I'm wrong, but haven't the first 2 options come and gone? Or am I reading the question too literally?
