You do realize he was being facetious, right?  I mean, it's really parody - it's the same kind of nonsense like actually building Trump's Border Wall or creating concentration camps in the USA for Muslims.

Here's an article on some big past apocalypes: http://thefederalist.com/2015/04/24/sev ... edictions/
I hope he was being facetious, but it's a horrid thing to even joke about. It's almost as bad as the infamous British commercial where a schoolteacher summarily executes dissidents.
