Were you planning anything special this weekend? Maybe watch the match? Head to the cinema? Maybe pop over to a warehouse and buy some flat-pack Swedish furniture? Guess again, fool. It's time for the Viking Apocalypse. According to ancient legends and a very nice group of researchers at the Jorvik Viking Festival, all life as we know it will cease to exist this Saturday at approximately half six in the evening.
That'll be right in the middle of Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway, so it will.
The world's most metal religion foretells of a time when the Norse gods will battle one another and fall to Earth, thus killing everyone below. The Jorvik Viking Festival, which has been running in York, UK for the last few days, claims they heard a "mighty horn" sound 100 days ago, which apparently is a "portent of doom" and will signal the beginning of Ragnorak. Right so.
In the highly unlikely event that all life ceases to exist, Ragnorak will join other failed apocalypses such as the Mayan Apocalypse and numerous other totally-full-of-shit predictions about the end of the world.
