Oh come on now...

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?

1978? um, out of curiosity, did they say why that year?

and you're a good form of poetry.


on some of the "Mayan Doomsday 2012" shows, they say that this happens every so often - and we need to build bunkers because all life on the surface will die.
(my reaction: riiiight, just like pretty much none of the mass extinctions in history; how regular did you say this was?)

Oh, planetary syzygy or something. Alignment? Please don't hold me to the year; I just know it was several years before I picked up the book. :D

Well you know, dinosaurs were the only lifeforms for a while there.

(yes, I'm being sarcastic, I know full well that they were really not.)

the gorgonopsids approve of your sarcasm.
