Denver sirens are just a test, not doomsday signal
DENVER (AP) - Officials in Denver want people to know this is only a test.
The city is testing new outdoor warning sirens on Friday, and they're well aware of all the talk about the Mayan calendar and time running out for the world's population.
In announcing the drill, officials said they wanted to make sure that people knew that the wailing sirens didn't mean it was the end of the world.
A chorus of books and movies has sought to link the Mayan calendar to rumors of impending disasters ranging from black holes and solar storms to a change in the Earth's magnetic field.
Scientists say predictions of an impending apocalypse are a bunch of hogwash.

And Denver needs an outdoor warning system for??????????
When Manning's blindside is exposed?
They couldn't wait until Monday???????
It makes sense that they needed to clarify with marijuana being legal now.Â
"Scientists say predictions of an impending apocalypse are a bunch of hogwash."

And people who believe in that crap have no grasp on reality.
I couldn't read your whole comment Ralph. I get crappy wi-fi in my bunker.

What! You didn't prepare with and external antenna? You are not a very good doomsday person.
Â
Do you even have your worry beads and finger cymbals for chanting?
 @Kushfan Kush, I have the bacon and beer covered. I'll bring a couple of pizzas too...
 @Kushfan Oh, but it is a well-used P-38, without which I go nowhere.  It will open any can in the house.
 @WendyTeagarden I was planning on genuflecting.  Will that suffice?
Trust me, preferably both Ralph.
 @WendyTeagardenÂ
I can do that.
@RalphCramden When trying to get past me, you will need to bow (or curtsey)
@Kushfan I've got you covered there, buddy, just as soon as I shave my feet.
You can try RatchetRanger, but you have to get past my security Chief.Â
Wendy.
 @KushfanÂ
I am a seasoned Doomsday Apocalypse guy and have lots of experience. In fact I have so much experience that I am immune to Doomsday Apocalypse's and just sneer at them and challenge them to try and wipe me out.
Â
Knowing that the Doomsday Apocalypse's can hurt me my wife and I are going out for brunch and then spend a casual day at home putzing.
 @Kushfan Let me in, I have a can opener...!!
What can I say Ralph, this is my first Doomsday Apocalypse.
I did bring plenty of Beef O Roni though.
 @RalphCramden  @Kushfan The tinfoil hat is to protect me from all the apocalypse theories. Too many and you'll overdose, y'know.
 @Kushfan ...I was having the same problem 'til I got rid of my tinfoil hat...good luck, and don't forget to bring the tomatoes inside.

Doom On!
