Sociotard Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 A Russian inventor has designed what he says is the key to human survival in the event of an apocalypse. It's an armoured pod that Evgeny Ubiyko says can house around four people for days and endure extreme temperatures, including lava. To him, the contraption is a modern day Noah’s Ark. http://english.aljazeera.net/news/europe/2010/02/2010214112626734962.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[iTo him' date= the contraption is a modern day Noah’s Ark.[/i] Except of course, it is real and isn't bigger on the inside than the outside (ie able to hold several billion different species).

DusterBoy Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 Re: Behold, the Apocolypse Pod! Except in the event of a nuclear shockwave, that thing is toast. And as for it being able to stand the crushing depths of the ocean. Nope. It'd wind up like Michaekl Biehn's submersible in "The Abyss" before it was even a third of the way to the Challenger Deep. *creak. . . crack. . . handclap* (imitating implosion) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merovign Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 Re: Behold, the Apocolypse Pod! Either I don't know what "apocalypse" means, or he doesn't. 'Cause I looked, and my dictionary doesn't say "the minor inconvenience of bad weather." And also, sharp corners are a stress point. The future is round!
