Man Builds Doomsday Capsule to Survive 2012
While the world celebrates, some are more worried about what they call imminent Armageddon. After reading ancient predictions, one man has taken it upon himself to guarantee humanity's survival.
Failing that, his invention can always be turned into an US$80,000 sauna.
The ancient Mayan calendar predicts that on December 21, 2012, the world will end.
It says the Earth will suffer cataclysmic events: floods, eruptions and earthquakes that will wipe out almost everyone.
So some people are getting ready to survive the Apocalypse – thanks to Evgeny Ubiyko, a military engineer by training.
On an abandoned battery farm not far from Moscow, is a warehouse in which he keeps the object that he believes will save humanity when the end of the world is nigh: the Doomsday Capsule.
Evgeny admits that many laughed when he first revealed his proposal for the life capsule one year ago. Now that he has built it, he says people are taking him seriously.
“The capsule is hermetic, it's got four layers of insulation. It can float, roll down hills, and land upside down – without being damaged,” Evgeny explains.
“It cannot be destroyed by tremors, or lava, or magnetic storms. This is where the shower will be, and the air purification systems. It can house up to four people for 40 days and costs $80,000.”
Ubiyko has already recruited a band of neighbors, who have booked their places in the capsule.
And if the end of the world does not come , Evgeny says his capsules can be used as saunas or industrial fridges, and recommends that the government order several thousand immediately.
MY ANSWER TO MR EVGENY UBIYKO
Good try...good idea but the World is not going to end in 2012 however your Doomsday Capsule might save people from Natural Disasters maybe...but then again they say that no stone will be left unturned..and when your time is up nothing is going to save you not even your Doomday Capsule

They say that the world will end in December 2012. The Mayan elders are angry with this. The world will not end. It will be transformed. The indigenous have the calendars, and know how to accurately interpret it, not others.
Mayan Daykeepers view the Dec. 21, 2012 date as a rebirth, the start of the World of the Fifth Sun. It will be the start of a new era resulting from and signified by the solar meridian crossing the galactic equator, and the earth aligning itself with the center of the galaxy. At sunrise on December 21, 2012 for the first time in 26,000 years the Sun rises to conjunct the intersection of the Milky Way and the plane of the ecliptic.

Food is not a big problem if you can remember Prince Charles had a Bomb Shelter built years ago in case there was the 3rd World War and he stocked it with tins of Organic food plus more so he and the Royals could stay in the shelter for one year with enough food...also remember there is emergency food available in special containers so it lasts.
