if i saw that clock i would just push the hands to midnight.  it's a pretty shitty concept though.  kinda like the whole code red, code orange, code yellow stuff- stupid

My presumption is that humans are incapable of whiping out every last single human in a global catastrophe.

if its seven minutes until midnight, were all dead. they started this clcok during the cold war as a way of showing how close we are to wiping ourselves out. its serious shit, it usually sits at six o'clock, during the cuban missile crisis it was at ten minutes to midnight, get the picture? so if that article did indeed mean that were seven minutes to midnight its not a good thing. I'm sure what it meant tho is that they moved it foward seven minutes from where it was currently sitting, if so it's not good but no worries.

Not true.

(From the article)...

"It was as close as two minutes to midnight in 1953 following U.S. and Soviet hydrogen bomb tests, and as far away as 17 minutes to midnight in 1991 after the superpowers reached agreement on a nuclear arms reductions."
