I didn't understand from this article what made them choose 2012 as the year the volcano was going to explode so we'd all die.

Like I said, they're just making up stuff, so they probably chose 2012 because it's already the end of the Maya long-count calendar which a lot of people have already heard of.

Was a frenzy of people on FR posting India Daily crap some months ago, had died down for a while. However, you see a wide variety of Apocalyptikook idiots citing "India Daily" on their websites on the internet, particularly their made-up story with a fake graph claiming there's been a massive increase in undersea volcanoes.

Not certain what is behind the fascination behind India Daily or why people don't realize they're just making up completely false stories - I think it's because the name "India Daily" sounds pretty boring and official, and they've hit upon hot-button topics to fake their stories about.

I never heard of India Daily before, I just was searching the news for info on Sumatra volcano's. I've always thought we'd live to see Krakatoa blow again, and it's overdue but I never heard of Toba before. Sumatra is pretty volatile but I'm not a 'mayan calendar' kinda girl.

On the good side it would shut up the dems.

Does this mean that you also believe they are liars when they report about the UFO base hidden under the Himalayas?

Isn't India Daily usually spelled either "National Enquirer" or "Pravda.ru!" in English?
