The next generation of underground bunkers

Air raid drills during the Cold War, when school children were told to duck and cover and hope for the best, seem somewhat preposterous compared to black-and-white footage of atomic bombs leveling a small town in a matter of seconds. Thankfully, gauging the effectiveness of this safety maneuver in reality never came to pass. The Red Threat may now be a distant memory, but the sentiment of preparing for the worst remains – in more ways than one.

Celebrate our last year on Earth with this stunning apocalypse calendar

As you all know, on December 21, 2012 the rivers and oceans will fill with lava and we will all drown in a sea of fire tornadoes and locust clouds. But until then we’ve got one year left to celebrate. So let’s go out in style.

But a historian now claims the deaths in Britain were the work of a notorious satanist, Aleister Crowley.
