Time to finish that list of yours

Japan and China still building up tension (and war exercises) over some isolated barren rocks. Syria is looking more interesting day by day (for the lack of a better word). North Korea keeps pushing everyone's buttons (and now, apparently, their own). Iranian prime minister has been quoted as saying he'd like to bring about Armageddon.

Reports have shown that end-of-the-world panic has gripped Russia, has been escalating in China, and has now reached Serbia and France. With such a vast global collective, could fears become manifest? Is there truly strength to influence reality with one's mind? What happens when you have million... billions... of people exerting their will on such a scale?

Sure, we have the Bible Code, I Ching, the Mayan Calendar. Yes, NASA says solar activity, sunspots included, are peaking and that we've already had several near encounters with X level ejections. Yes, seismic activity, both tectonic and volcanic, have been increasing. But this doesn't worry me; every generation has had their own doomsday prophets and prophecies. So far, as far as I can tell, nothing's happened.

What I am worried about, however, are those on the fringe, those that do want something to happen. I'm not just talking about the expected hundred of people who will be committing suicide that day, as that happens whenever there's a doomsday coming. No, what I'm talking about are those who will be sparing their children, or will be shooting at their neighbors to protect their stash. I'm talking about the totality of the group conscious of everyone world-wide, warping reality.

And, in particular, I'm talking about the real-life events mentioned in my opening paragraph; all it takes is for one of those leaders (I'm betting Benjamin Netanyahu) to take December 21 2012 seriously, and to start things off. After all, a world changing or world ending event doesn't have to be a natural occurrence.

C'mon already... c'mon c'mon c'mon!

This just in... scientists have recently translated the final tablet in the Mayan calendar using a new cryptographic algorithm originally designed to break the Norse-Catholic Runic Code. With this new algorithm, it has been discovered that the Mayan calendar tablets are actually a list of ice cream flavors of the day available in the Central Mayan Snack Kiosk. The final tablet, oft associated with the end of the world, is in reality a warning message to Mayan citizens, explaining that if they did not encounter another ice age, Mayan scientists estimated they would run out of ice cream by December 21st, 2012.

There is speculation among the scientific and archaeological communities that this news might somehow be associated with a possible mass suicide which could explain the sudden disappearance of the Mayan civilization. More on this breaking story as it develops...

So disappointed. I'd have settled for a major earthquake, or even a volcano eruption. But noooooo.

Goes to show ya... you can't trust anything these days!

I'm sorry, were we trusting a civilization that extincted itself thousands of years ago to tell US when our time was up? It's not your end of the world, it's all Mayan!
