Japan to release nuclear waste into Pacific

[nzoomed]

Ever thought of the possibility that a previous civilization on earth may have had the same problem? then the world, by their actions over a few Millenium, caused good old Earth (or whatever they called it) to self destruct shortly after? (sound familiar?) Wiping out all the above sea level life.

Then the leaked water made the critters in the ocean morph by growing legs and wriggling out of the sea to develop into the current human race?

Over the 3.4 Billion year life of our earth, my theory is highly possible! 

Oddly enough, I have sometimes wondered about that possibility, & whether or not our planet might have been through several different civilisations, each of which ended badly due to human stupidity.

But then I also sometimes wonder if our planet might not be the insane asylum of the universe....

There has indeed been many mass extinction events on the earth, whether it was a meteor that killed the dinosaurs or even gamma ray bursts from supernovas have at least killed some life on this planet.
If only we had a time machine to look back, but at least we have the fossil record if nothing else!
