I just asked him, and he said he heard radiation from the sun will drive half the world's population insane, the poles will switch causing massive upheaval, and something about the Earth being lined up with a black hole... He wants to build a bunker, stock it with supplies, and live out the insanity...

I remember being terrified of nukes at his age, too (he's 18). My mother remembers practicing in school for bomb attacks (1950s). Every generation seems to have something to freak them out, but this one has information overload at their fingertips...

I like that comment about maxing out the credit cards - Good idea!! LOL
