*Tosses the book "Pirate Hunter: The True Story of Captain Kidd" at Cazzidy*
That book is also a "How to be a Pirate and let your captain take the hangman's noose for you."

-rolls into Bunker- Welp, time to wait out Ragnarok.

Oh you kids and your end of the worldnesses.

Meh. I'll just keep looking for Jormungandr.

I looked that up... it's a manga.

Okay - well - it's also a manga. lolz!

Mystical Detective: Loki Ragnarok?
(Not the best of manga/anime, but was fun to see Fenris, Jorm, Hati and Skoll, Hel, and many other things exiled in a laughingly funny Anime.)

If that what it's about? I don't read a lot of manga.

No - according to reports, the Nordic dating for Ragnarok - the battle of the Norse gods and heroes against the Jotunn (giants) and the like that would result in only a few lesser gods and 2 humans surviving (and the earth falling, and the Corpse-eater drake destroying the World Tree and...), was to take place today.

The manga is essentially Loki being banished to modern day Earth as a way to prevent these events. Loki there becomes a supernatural detective, capturing the supernatural evil in order to have enough power to force his way back. (Which would launch Ragnarok).

Okay, so technically, the date "2/22" is a very subjective one. People have only pegged Ragnarok as starting today because of the shitty winters we've had and the relative lack to "good" summers.

DAMN! I didn't realize it was suppose to be today! But I only have a few more days till my trip to Japan! Can't it hold out till then?

(As indicated by my "according to reports" and Espy's clarification, people are really more making something out of nothing, I believe. Some are using it to celebrate, some are just trying to reinstate the 2012 thrill, etc.)

It should be fine.

If we had, say, sixth months out of twelve of whipping blizzards each year, for three years in a row, and cold summers, only then would I actually consider Ragnarok to be upon us.

...Espy's conditions sound plausible for certain polar areas of the world...
