According to some calculations of the Norse calendar, Ragnarök will occur today, Saturday February 22, 2014.  Ragnarök is the Norse Mythological apocalypse. This apocalypse includes the death of several of gods such as  Odin, Thor, Týr, Freyr, Heimdallr, and Loki.  The earth is destroyed and then it is reborn.  Welcome to the apocalypse my fellow geeks.

..the world will resurface anew and fertile, the surviving and returning gods will meet, and the world will be repopulated by two human survivors. Ragnarök is an important event in the Norse canon, and has been the subject of scholarly discourse and theory.

The event is attested primarily in the Poetic Edda, compiled in the 13th century from earlier traditional sources, and the Prose Edda, written in the 13th century by Snorri Sturluson.  (Wikipedia)

Here is to hoping we survive this apocalypse with the ease that we survived the Minoan apocalypse.

Stay Geeky My Friends!
