Some blame the huge increase on fracking.

According to Norse Mythology, The World Will End on Saturday

Ragnarok is the final predicted battle where the wolf Fenrir will break out of his prison, the snake Jormungand will rise out of the sea, ice giants and the dragon of the underworld will come out and the dead heroes of Valhalla will descend from heaven to fight them.

I swear to you, this is the actual trading card and that is the original text on the card. For me, this wins the race for the most disturbing trading card of all time by a mile.

Can we assume this is outside a book store?

McGovern also accurately predicted what would ultimately happen to Vietnam after we left....

...just like Afghanistan.

From the man that puts this in the exact same league as all religions, this doesn't surprise me at all...

Walking with our phones, we all look like Star Trek crew members trying to get a life form reading on an uncharted planet.

An awful OOMVO...
