Apocalypse Pods To Beat The End Of The World

A Chinese inventor intends to ride out the end of the world with survival pods designed to beat tsunamis and earthquakes.

As people across the globe tremble in anticipation of next week's supposed Mayan-predicted apocalypse, one Chinese villager says he has just what humanity needs - tsunami-proof survival pods.
Former farmer and furniture maker Liu Qiyuan, 45, calls the spheres Noah's Arks, designed to withstand towering tsunamis and devastating earthquakes.
The pods use a glass fibre casing over a steel frame. They cost 300,000 yuan (£30,000) each, and are equipped with oxygen tanks, food and water supplies.
"The pod won't have any problems even if there are 1,000-metre-high waves... it's like a ping pong ball, its skin may be thin, but it can withstand a lot of pressure," said Mr Liu at his workshop in Qiantun, an hour from Beijing.
"The pods are designed to carry 14 people at a time, but it's possible for 30 people to survive inside for at least two months."

The problem with living through Armageddon is the **** fest you wake up to. I'm not sure I want to survive the complete downfall of civilisation and wake up to a world where the flu may kill you.

That's true.

In any case, if belief that the world is going to end this year is only because it's based on the Mayan Calendar; then we can be well assured that the "world" will definitely not end, because the end of the Mayan Calendar long count is much like the end of any year (i.e. 31st December; when 31st December ends, the world doesn't end; the calendar merely restarts).
