Daily News… L‘Apocalypse Noah’: Dutch Christian readies escape Ark A Dutch Christian has painstakingly prepared a lifeboat in his garden capable of saving 50 people ahead of biblical floods he expects to accompany Friday’s Mayan-foretold ‘doomsday.’ «The Mayans weren’t crazy, and if you also look at biblical prophecies, the mountains will melt like wax,» Pieter Frank van der Meer told the left-wing Volkskrant daily on Thursday. A fervent Christian, Van der Meer bought the orange totally enclosed lifeboat for 13,000 euros (around 17,000 dollars) and has installed a toilet, a sink, a child’s car seat and food supplies. Around 35 people have reserved seats in the Norwegian-built boat, which currently sits in Van der Meer’s garden in the central Netherlands village of Kootwijkerbroek, around 20 kilometres (14 miles) from the sea. Passengers include his children and grandchildren, Van der Meer told the Dutch Protestant television programme «De Vijfde Dag» («The Fifth Day»). Van der Meer’s son, Pieter, has obtained a roughly one-metre cubed plastic container reinforced with metal bars for the family’s two dogs, complete with hay and food inside. «Here, they have a reasonable chance of survival,» Van der Meer senior said. The family’s goats will unfortunately be left to their fate. He said that the alignment of the Solar System’s planets on December 21 will generate and release huge amounts of cosmic energy. «This will activate the sun,» he said. «It’s difficult to say what exactly will happen with the sun, but you can expect an enormous solar flare,» which could cause a tsunami or a second Flood. Alternatively, there may be a huge earthquake, and so he has bought a second-hand army Jeep with which to drive at speed to a location in a field where he and his family can pitch tents. «The end of the world is serious,» Van der Meer’s wife told the Algemeen Dagblad newspaper. «But what comes afterwards is magnificent.»

International News… Putin rules out end of the world Russian President Vladimir Putin ruled out that the world will end this week, as predicted by Mayans, saying he did not expect the end for another 4.5 billion years. Giving his first major news conference since his return to the Kremlin, Putin was asked why he picked a date one day before the end of the world, according to a Mayan prophecy that has caused global hysteria. «I know when the end of the world will come,» Putin said, pausing dramatically. «It will be in 4.5 billion years approximately. As far as I remember, it is the system of the functioning of our sun.»
Branson to be AirAsia stewardess British billionaire Richard Branson will finally wear a red skirt and serve as a stewardess on Malaysian budget carrier AirAsia in May after losing a Grand Prix bet with the founder of the airline. Virgin boss Branson and AirAsia chief executive Tony Fernandes had agreed in 2010 that whichever of their teams (then Virgin and Lotus) finished lower in the constructors’ championship in their debut season, the losing owner would serve on the other’s airline. Branson lost as Lotus finished 10th and Virgin 12th, but the trip was postponed in early 2011 after he injured himself while skiing.
