so the big asteroid that will impact the earth, and the biggest earthquake that will strike upon LA, or mexico, or some place were these natural things happen
also the gigantic volcano that will appear in the pacific ocean
also the global warming that will make the polar ice caps to melt and your city will be below water
and the next glaciar age (appears after a period of temperature rise)
... and the day the sun will start to die, grow bigger, so big it'll eat venus, mercury, earth and mars, and the become a supernova

don't worry

funny how the media never mentions the thousands of people that die of the common cold evrey year, and alot of other preventable things.. probley because there death diden't resemble a scene from the latest hollywood natural disaster picture.

think people should stop worrying about waves, aliens volcano's and worry about there own personal health ie: eating peopley.

Actually our Sun is too big to become a supernova, instead it will expand as you said and eat us up and mars etc, but then will just eat it self up and then become a dwarf sun. Those things that you mentioned before aren't supposed to happen but every 60,000 years, but we're over due by about 10,000....

Or you might just simply get ran over by a street racer on your home street.
Live life to the max, until it ends.
too right

an asteroid comes, a tidal wave floods, a car runs you over, what ya gonna do about it eh?
