The "Doomsday Clock" Can it Tell of Mankind's Fate?

powermannx @powermannx (450) • United States 14 Jan 10

The "Doomsday Clock" has been set back to one minute, does this have any relevance to the fate of mankind's future?

JDLofton Just out of curiousity, what is a Doomsday Clock. I don't believe I have heard that before. If it is like a time clock that tells you when you will die, then no. I believe noone knows when their time will be up.

JDLofton I agree with the left lane law. Though it is not inforced like it should be. What I dislike is that when I am on way toward Baton Rouge, the right lane car is doing 55 in a 65 and the car in the left lane is right beside theh car in the right lane. That is...
