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?


In other news...

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?

I think there's a difference between knowing that end times are near and that the end is absolutely near.

And also, the things pointed to as signs... humanity being worse, wars, etc...

People have always done horrible things to each other. We just have 24-hour news channels and the internet, now.

But if it's OMG!near...then some people get to use that as a means of behavior control.

Some people should be using that as a reason to control their own behaviour.
