NASA has had to debunk those "the world is ending in 2012" rumors. Um. LOL. (The disaster film is coming out this weekend and I'm sure it'll be a blast. So to speak.)

I remember when I was 11 or something, picking up a paperback at a rummage sale with a "the world will end in 1978!" premise. It hadn't. So since that day, I've always thought world-ending predictions were sort of hilarious. 

I admit taking some cash out of the ATM before Y2k in case my bank's computers had a case of the stupids for a day or two. 

Why so gullible, internet?

I'm terza rima, and I talk and smile. Where others lock their rhymes and thoughts away I let mine out, and chatter all the while. I'm rarely on my own - a wasted day Is any day that's spent without a friend, With nothing much to do or hear or say. I like to be with people, and depend On company for being entertained; Which seems a good solution, in the end. What Poetry Form Are You?

Lol the fun thing about this "the world will end 2012" is, that there are like four possibilities rumored. Duh... LMAO.
1. There is supposed to be a meteor going to crash with earth - one that they don't see early enough.
2. The Maya-prophecy (I dunno what is said in there).
3. The magnetic field of earth will invert 2012 and leave all the continents without electricity and stuff.
4. There will be devastating ion-storm unleashed from the sun.

Yeah right. Make your choice XD.

Pick the one that's most dramatic!

I think by the time a giant asteroid aims at earth ala big-style dinosaur extinction-level event -- far, far into the future -- we'll be able to colonise other planets.

So on that note, I really don't mind my tax money going to NASA. :D

There is no Maya prophecy. There's no evidence whatsoever that they ever claimed the world would end in 2012, it's just that the calendar they were using runs out then. Sort of like how my 2008 calendar ran out at New Years.

Crazy people are crazy.
