Overpopulation, declining resources, and the slow death of humanity, "not with a bang but a whimper". A nightmare becoming more real as we fail to develop the benefits our technology could bring us.

Maybe an Asteriod rather than a meteorite. Or on an ecological stance, Global Warming. I heard that there was a a big lights out in Sydney the other day. Was it just Sydney or did the rest of Australia take part?

Maybe a giant mutant space goat, rather than an asteroid.

Troy good call, was in singapore on Sentosa Island when the earthquake struck, didnt feel a thing, went to Penang 3 days after the tsunami struck (they only lost 65 people), and the people recover so well that except for a little debris we new nothing had happened,,,, went back to phuket in september last year again and life is as normal as can be,,, we met a lad from a previous visit who lost his car in the tsunami, wiped out his house but was as happy as anything saying we were all save and life goes on.

Aussie could not cope like the good folk up there, and they are great folk, no whinging no nothing. i personally dont think aussie could cope no where near as well as our asian brothers and sisters up north.

yep

I also noticed on "Sunrise ch7", that up in northern queensland after the cyclone 12 months ago that things are far from back to normal,,, the trades people could not cope up the at innesvail?? and places and could you just imagine the strain if a whole state copped a major disaster of the magnitude of an earthquake or a tsunami

As both a Glenelg & Essendon supporter, the year 1990 is a footy season I'd like to forget! :cry:
