Given our massive presence here on the planet, and our ability to combat things, its unlikely that one phenomenon could wipe us out altogether.

But there seem to be a variety of factors such as terrorism, problems with food, natural disasters, diseases such as bird flu etc that, potentially, are poised to hit us all at once, although it may never happen. Combine those with the possibility of nuclear war sometime soon(ish) and we could be in serious trouble.

I think it's some sort of black hairy mamba. :confused:

jon boy 07.18.2006 08:59 AM

i could hazzard a guess. to me it looks like part of a diseased organ. although its probably just a stuffed animal.

Tokolosh 07.18.2006 09:00 AM

Ha! Ha!

Cantankerous 07.18.2006 09:03 AM

It's a fractured penis.

Tokolosh 07.18.2006 09:04 AM

I knew it was a black hairy mamba!

Cantankerous 07.18.2006 09:06 AM

it's purple. because it's fractured. it's really more of a lovely shade of eggplant.

I predict it will either be because of our current destruction of the environment, or we will solve that and evolve into a different race (or branch out into several?), thus humans as we know them will be extinct.

Is that really information from the CIA? I would believe it which makes perfect sense why we're fighting terrorism vs worrying about global warming....ass backwards administration!

Some are evolving and then some are devolving!! Pretty soon we'll have monkeys and aliens and the new monkeys will out of jealousy will try to overtake us evolved humans and kill us. But we'll have some great technology and kick their ass.

I think this is true. I've seen a lot of stuff on tv etc about global warming. It seems that we really are completely fucked unless we do somthing fast.

well I know global warming is a threat and an immediate one for sure, but what I was hoping for clarification on is if that is some sort of public information available from the CIA website or something, the actual CIA saying that from their professional opinion.......

Especially not, if we make it off this rock and spread to a few other rocks.
A multi-planetary civilization is not so easily wiped-off as one that resides on a single planet.

You know there will be naturalists that stay away from genetic modification and cybernetic implants.

Although to live long enough to make it to another planet, we will probably have to modify our genes.

Apparently the earth will be suitable for maintaining life still for about 200 million years or so. After that the sun has dilated enough to vaporize all water on the earth. In cosmic timeline a few hundred million years is quite a short period of time.

Obviously humans as we know it don't exist anymore by that time.

You and Stephen Colbert would get along swimingly. I think either nuclear war or a body from space (asteroid, meteorite, comet).
