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?

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.

Thanks for the link! I'm actually looking forward to the movie...disaster movies are just fun... :)

And I think everyone took out some extra cash just in case ;)

NASA <3.

Were I not a soft, round liberal arts type, I would so be an astronaut.

I think I was desensitised to all this World is Ending crap then in 1987, the most popular book in my church was "88 Reasons Christ is Returning in 1988."

I can't help but notice that we're all still here.

Also, if I was Jesus, I would go out of my way not make sure no one saw my shit coming. I think that might be why they call me "Thief in the Night" not "Rabid Elephant in a Glass Factory."

I'm rather looking forwards to the sort of people that emerge from the woodwork prophecising certain death in 2012. Might be quite entertaining. XD

I may even be going to see that film. Hurrah. :D

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?)

FYI, terza rima rocks my socks like nothing else.

Dude! I got terza rima, too! Although, honestly, I can't say as I'd ever heard of it. But I like the description. It is happy-inducing.

I don't expect the world to end while I am still alive. The combined might of all the terza rima people will stop it w/ the power of our terza rima-ness! RAWR!

my family has been talking about 2012 ever since we saw the ads for the movie. we came to the conclusion that the world will change not end.

We also came up with a alien theory since the mayans worshiped extra-terrestrial beings as their gods.
