2012: no the world will not end

you may have heard some people claim that the world will end in 2012. just take a moment to contemplate that: they claim the world will end on precisely december 21st, two thousand twelve.

these claims are ridiculous, not to mention vague.

and i also think it's sad, because these people are causing unnecessary stress in lives of (admittedly gullible) people. i guess someone somewhere is making money off these regularly forecast apocalyptic fairy tales or else they wouldnt come about so unceasingly.

just to be sure, i DO NOT think any of the reasons being spouted for why the world will end in 2012 are at all valid, or reasonable, or bona fide in any way. here's a nicely done video summarizing the crazy business...

... yeah, I saw this last week... you would think after all the mistaken predictions that people would have learned... maybe they have forgotten when it was predicted if you sailed too far to the west, you'd fall off the edge of the ocean..!
