Well it it was nice knowning all of you.
"I have received information psychically, which is corroborated by scientific data, according to which on May 25, 2006 a giant tsunami will occur in the Atlantic Ocean, brought about by the impact of a comet fragment which will provoke the eruption of under-sea volcanoes. Waves up to 200 m high will reach coastlines located above and below the Tropic of Cancer. However, all of the countries bordering the Atlantic will be affected to greater or lesser destructive and deadly levels. This site is dedicated to life, to civic responsibility and to information. There is still time to save lives. Thanks for participating in the world-wide alert!" -- Eric Julien

Yeah, i've seen that going around for a while now. I've always wondered what the people who really believe in their own predictions think when their predictions don't come true.

Oh noes! Psychical predictions of tsunami caused by undersea volcanoes caused by comet fragment! Wait a minute! There's no information in Swedish. Does he want all us Swedes to not know about this and die? What a douche! I'm not going to believe a word of what this unpleasant man is saying!

I actually like it when they make bold and specific predictions like this. It's only too bad that nobody ever takes it as proof that they're full of shit when the prediction turns out to be false. Hell, the Jehovah's Witnesses predicted Judgment Day way back in the early 20th century, it never happened, and they soldiered on, totally unfazed by this massive failure of their predictive model.

IIRC, they predicted Judgement Day multiple times, and I hear that their explanation for the lack of accuracy is that Judgement Day has happened, just that we haven't perceived it yet. :lol:

200 mile high wave, huh? Apparently no one told this guy that a 200 mile high wave would have its crest in low orbit altitudes.

200 meters, not miles. Still stupid, just not that stupid.

It might be almost as stupid, if this person said how large the comet would be and the size of the wave doesn't match up to what you'd expect.

Fortunately, I'm protected rather nicely by Ireland and Wales.

I'd also love to see this guy at the moment of his prediction, either shitting himself, or desperately trying to find out if he was right. Or both.

If the data really does state the waves will be 200 miles high, is there really any point in warning anyone?

Seems to me that anything that would generate that much energy is pretty much going to be an 'Extinction Level Event' by it's very nature and there isn't anything anyone can do given the 24 hour notice.

Actually, he's been going on about this for quite a while longer - the site isn't new.

The day is already half-over, and there's no sign of this tsunami :lol:

Seriously, did you try looking at his documents in detail? There's all kinds of bullshit in there about Revelation and conversion of prophesied dates from Gregorian calendars to modern calendars, etc. etc. Pure religious nutjob stuff, mixed in with a dose of UFO talk.

That's a really nice video simulation there. Always made me wonder what it'd be like if the comet from the Deep Impact poster hit, given it was far more massive than the actual one in film (maybe bigger than the one in Armageddon).

I always liked this clip from a nice end of the world documentary on BBC3 once.

Now, I enjoyed the movie Deep Impact, but this is ridiculous.

(link)
2) The movie Deep Impact, whose scenario is the most plausible among that genre, contains many similarities with reality. It was released in the USA in 1997, after the breakup of SW3 (1995), but it came out in France end of May 1998 (a Frenchman announces a deep impact for end of May).

The similarities of this prophetic movie are numerous:
  • Film: we are dealing with a fragmented comet of which the smallest piece falls into the Atlantic. Reality: the comet SW3 is fragmented and one of the smallest pieces is to fall to Earth.
  • Film: the biggest comet turns into a meteor shower. Reality: we will experience the Herculides Tau meteor shower.
  • Film: the comet has a double name, Wolf-Biedermann. Reality: the comet has a double name, Schwassmann-Wachmann.
  • Film: the two names, Wolf-Biedermann, are German-sounding. Reality: the names Schwassmann and Wachmann are German-sounding. The W of Wolf is found in both names.
  • Film: one of the two names ends in “mann”. This name is pronounced “Bi-der-mann”, meaning twice (bi) the (der) German man (mann), in other words two men coming from Germany. Friedrich Carl Arnold Schwassmann and Arno Arthur Wachmann were German.
  • Film: one of the discoverers of the comet (Biedermann) and of its danger does not belong to the scientific community. Reality: I do not belong to the scientific community.
  • Film: before the comet impact a man close to the American president resigns (the Treasury Secretary) for obscure reasons. Reality: the director of the CIA, Porter Goss, recently resigned (May 6, 2006) and himself qualified his resignation as “mysterious”.
  • Film: a certain number of individuals are selected to benefit from military shelters. Reality: one of my contacts (?) informed me very recently that the American government had just activated the military shelters on the East Coast of the U.S., stocking them up with supplies. For whom?
  • Film: it is not the end of the world for there are numerous survivors. Reality: this will not be the end of the world and the majority of humans will be left standing.
As if that alone isn't convincing enough...
3) Release of the movie Omen 666 on June 6, 2006.
The Prophetic Movie Section is immediately followed by the following:
May 25, 2006 is in fact June 6, 2006 – once converted into the Julian calendar. This is the case on the symbolic level. When one carries out a simple conversion of May 25, 2006 from the Julian Calendar (laid out by the emperor Julius Caesar), which calendar came into use in 46 B.C., this gives May 12, 2006, date of the earliest close approach of the SW3 comet fragments.

It is in fact between the 12th and the 15th of May 2006 that the closest approach will occur of the SW3 comet fragments. But no one has used the Julian calendar since 1582 in France (later in some countries; since 1917 in Russia, for example). It’s in fact what makes for the difficulty of the conversion. This is why it is logical to choose a space of 12 days (instead of 13) between the Julian and actual Gregorian calendar if one wishes to reason on a global scale as is called for by the nature of the event which is announced here.

Hence, the 6/6/6 is virtually May 25th, 2006 of the Julian calendar, name of the “messenger of the Apocalypse”, and May 13, 2006 is the sign in the sky. This sign will actually be multiple, as we will have the full moon and Jupiter at its closest point to Earth. This giant planet, which rules Sagittarians, will be at its closest during the entire month of May, bringing about symbolically, more than by its force of gravity, a great mutation on the Earth. On May 11th, Jupiter and the moon will be side by side.
You read it here. If it doesn't happen between May 13 and May 25, then it should happen on or around June 6.

I wonder if he'll add another 13 days just in case. (Isn't 13 an evil number, too? QED!)

Actually, I'm pretty sure the world of humans ended after the events in DI, considering the amount of material which had to have been deposited into the atmosphere by the larger comet fragment.


Also, SW3 can mean "Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith". Clearly it was the evil scheme of the Sith to break of the comet fragment and place it in such an insidious (OMFG teh Emporer) orbit!

But no really, is he using movies as sources for his prophecies? This has got to be a joke...

Now all I get is the HTTP400 Error on the link. Funny, I have a feeling the outage is not due to a global catastrophy.
