Doomsday Seed Vault Stores 500,000 Crops

The purpose of the Doomsday vault in Norway is to preserve a wide variety of plant seeds from locations worldwide in an underground cavern, you know, so we can have a chance of surviving underground on on the moon after we ruin the surface of the earth...

Well, that's not the official reason but it is the widely held belief among paranoid theroists (of which I skirt the edge). 

Here's the official reason--according to Wikipedia:

"The seed vault will provide insurance against the loss of seeds in genebanks, as well as a refuge for seeds in the case of large scale regional or global crises."

Anyway, here's an article posted today by Yahoo!  Read up fellow paranoid theorists.
