A lot of the car makers/dealerships refer to the electronic keychain (the part with the push buttons to unlock the doors, pop the trunk, start the car, etc.) as the key fob. They have batteries in them, which will drain over time. Our Altimas at work will actually pop up a message on the dashboard to let you know your key fob is getting low on battery. And yes, the car itself refers to it as the key fob.

This is really odd. I deal with push-button-ignition Altimas on a daily basis and all of ours shut off if the key is a certain distance away from the car. Is it possible there was a spare key fob in the glove box that maybe kept it running?

I don't care who you are. You have to be just a little bit crazy to cut yourself like they do.

A no DQ version of the match that kicked off the show coming up now. I wonder how long the over-runs will go tonight. Raw is scheduled to end at 11:05 (though it rarely does) and TNA set to end at 11:08.

Should be Jeff Hardy. From what I've read, Hardy is backstage, but IDK.

Jeff Jarrett's been there for a while. He started TNA.

I would have rather seen Dude Love.

Since Hogan/Bischoff came to TNA I have watched it intermittently to try and get into it like I did WCW back in the day, but it just wasn't happening. Tonight, something about TNA is just better, more interesting. The Hogan/Flair start off to the show was amazing.

As bad as I hate to say it, TNA is better than Raw tonight.

Who hasn't heard of rhubarb pie?

Getting married in November.

I hate it. Dumb commercial and I'm really tired of seeing it.

As for the web bot. Doesn't it just crawl the internet and collect data that's being published? So isn't the web bot collecting more stuff about 2012 because there are more people talking about it on the internet? I mean, there's so many people talking about 2012 being the end of the world, so it wouldn't be that hard for the web bot to make a correlation there. Keep in mind, the web bot doesn't collect information from God, it collects information from what people are talking about on the internet. So the more people talking about 2012, the stronger the correlation is going to be...doesn't mean it's going to happen. If the web bot was around near the Y2K event, I'm sure it predicted something catastrophic for that time too due to the thousands, if not millions, of pages devoted to it on the internet. Here is an excerpt from an article regarding the web bot, published Nov. 6, 2009: In fact, a quick search on the Net and you'll find predictions that date as far back as the 5th century. George Ure, one of the guys behind the Web Bot Project--which analyzes Web chatter to identify patterns and establish predictions--had predicted a major event would take place Nov. 5, 2009, possibly war between five nations. Waaait a minute, wasn't Nov. 5 yesterday?

I'll admit, I found it a bit interesting until they started shoving it down people's throats. The occasional show was fine, but to create a whole series (The Nostradamus Effect) and then a movie....> :deadhorse: Now it seems like every other night there's something about 2012 on the History Channel, Discovery, AE.

I would like to add another thing that irritates me. This 2012 hysteria has even caused some to claim that they're going to commit suicide just before the Dec. 21, 2012. They have stated that they do not want to be around to see the horrific images of the world coming to an end. Now, these people probably have some underlying psychological problems, but it shows what this kind of hysteria can lead to.

I'll trust the people who actually put human beings on the moon, over some guy who was paid to make some statements on a History Channel special.

The sighs of relief from everyone on Dec. 22nd at 12:01 AM combining together across the world creating a massive hurricane of doom? :confused: Plain and simple, some are going to believe this stuff, some are not. I, personally, do not and have provided just some of the reasons why I don't buy into it. I would say that if you are correct, you'll win the bet and I'll buy you an ice cream cone, but seeing how ice cream, spoons, heck even the world may not be around after that, I don't think I could make good on that bet.

On a related note. My fiancee' and I are getting married later this year. When we were picking dates, there were only 2 dates available. One was the date we picked (Nov. 6th) and the other was Sept. 11th. It would have been cheap...but still.

God also stated via the Bible that no one will know when the world is going to end. "But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father." Mark 13:32 Assuming you believe in God and are using his works as proof that something like this can happen, then that is a contradiction to your previous points, because God said no one will know when these things will happen.

I think the bigger debate here is whether a person is inclined to believe a bunch of hoo-ha, conspiracy theories, etc. over actual scientific sources. Are these things interesting? I suppose so, but there is no actual scientific evidence to back any of them up and plenty to discredit them. I'm sorry, but I'll believe a scientist at NASA over some supposed doomsday prophet.

The problems I have with Nostradamus and your other mentioned "prophets" are that they do not actually predict anything. They make vague statements and then people try to fit those statements to current events. Edgar Cayce is about as credible as Uri Geller. Also, the following are excerpts from NASA's website. Question (Q): Are there any threats to the Earth in 2012? Many Internet websites say the world will end in December 2012. Answer (A): Nothing bad will happen to the Earth in 2012. Our planet has been getting along just fine for more than 4 billion years, and credible scientists worldwide know of no threat associated with 2012. Q: Does the Mayan calendar end in December 2012? A: Just as the calendar you have on your kitchen wall does not cease to exist after December 31, the Mayan calendar does not cease to exist on December 21, 2012. This date is the end of the Mayan long-count period but then -- just as your calendar begins again on January 1 -- another long-count period begins for the Mayan calendar. Q: Could a phenomena occur where planets align in a way that impacts Earth? A: There are no planetary alignments in the next few decades, Earth will not cross the galactic plane in 2012, and even if these alignments were to occur, their effects on the Earth would be negligible. Each December the Earth and sun align with the approximate center of the Milky Way Galaxy but that is an annual event of no consequence. Q: What is the polar shift theory? Is it true that the earth’s crust does a 180-degree rotation around the core in a matter of days if not hours? A: A reversal in the rotation of Earth is impossible. There are slow movements of the continents (for example Antarctica was near the equator hundreds of millions of years ago), but that is irrelevant to claims of reversal of the rotational poles. However, many of the disaster websites pull a bait-and-shift to fool people. They claim a relationship between the rotation and the magnetic polarity of Earth, which does change irregularly, with a magnetic reversal taking place every 400,000 years on average. As far as we know, such a magnetic reversal doesn’t cause any harm to life on Earth. A magnetic reversal is very unlikely to happen in the next few millennia, anyway. Q: How do NASA scientists feel about claims of pending doomsday? A: For any claims of disaster or dramatic changes in 2012, where is the science? Where is the evidence? There is none, and for all the fictional assertions, whether they are made in books, movies, documentaries or over the Internet, we cannot change that simple fact. There is no credible evidence for any of the assertions made in support of unusual events taking place in December 2012. And the following are some excerpts from National Geographic: The Maya calendar doesn't end in 2012, as some have said, and the ancients never viewed that year as the time of the end of the world, archaeologists say. "It's the time when the largest grand cycle in the Mayan calendar—1,872,000 days or 5,125.37 years—overturns and a new cycle begins," said Anthony Aveni, a Maya expert and archaeoastronomer at Colgate University in Hamilton, New York In December 2012 the lengthy era ends and the complicated, cyclical calendar will roll over again to Day Zero, beginning another enormous cycle. Some sky-watchers believe 2012 will close with a "galactic alignment," which will occur for the first time in 26,000 years. In this scenario, the path of the sun in the sky would appear to cross through what, from Earth, looks to be the midpoint of our galaxy, the Milky Way, which in good viewing conditions appears as a cloudy stripe across the night sky. Some fear that the lineup will somehow expose Earth to powerful unknown galactic forces that will hasten its doom—perhaps through a "pole shift" or the stirring of the supermassive black hole at our galaxy's heart. NASA's Morrison has a different view. "There is no 'galactic alignment' in 2012," he said, "or at least nothing out of the ordinary." He explained that a type of "alignment" occurs during every winter solstice, when the sun, as seen from Earth, appears in the sky near what looks to be the midpoint of the Milky Way. Horoscope writers may be excited by alignments, Morrison said. But "the reality is that alignments are of no interest to science. They mean nothing," he said. They create no changes in gravitational pull, solar radiation, planetary orbits, or anything else that would impact life on Earth.

Same here. I was 6 when Carson went off the air, so I can't really say he was/is my favorite, however, from what I have seen, I like his stuff.

I will not watch an entire late night talk show until Conan is back on the air. I won't even think about parking the channel on Leno. I might flip it on Letterman for a good music act, and if I'm up late with nothing to do the next day, I might catch Ferguson's monologue.

Which cannot be substantiated or backed up with any real evidence, just perpetuated by twisting and manipulating various ideas and predictions. The Mayans never said the world would end in 2012, these so-called scholars are the one's saying, "Well look at this...they stopped so it must mean the end of the world."
