“Wow. Thank you you for calling. You are the first and only caller so far. Wow. We’ve been preparing for years! I bet you have,too. Good for you. So, where are you going to have your last meal? We’re going to Florida on the east coast to watch the show. I bet this is going to be spectacular! Have you been using a telescope to watch.....” [phone hangs disconnects]

How ludicrous to turn to NASA for comfort when Doomsday looms! Asking a bunch of tunnel-vision evolutionists about the End of Time is as useful as asking a squirrel to do calculus.

NASA can’t be bothered with such calls, they are too busy doing muslim outreach.

NASA should ensure them the world really is going to end tomorrow and it will be very painful. Their best bet is to commit suicide before then...
It would raise the collective IQ ten points...

And the sad fact is, NASA couldn’t get one member of our species off this rock, it they knew damn well IT WAS the end of the world.
But hey, our pet rover might live on...

The "end of the world" could come from giant solar storms, a meteor barrelling toward Earth, a black out or a mysterious "Planet X" threatening widespread destruction....,. ...or than big burrito that I had last night. I pity the human race.

Here's the real story that most people are missing:
A misleading, and probably heretical, Christian teacher named Harold Camping predicts an end-of-world-as-we-know-it date and he is excoriated mercilessly almost universally by both pagans and Christians.
But a primitive third-world religion can MAKE THE EXACT SAME PREDICTION without anywhere NEAR the condemnation from pagans.
Never mind that these Mayan pagans aren't around anymore to ridicule personally, it is proof of the hatred of the world-view of Christianity by the world. Camping was just an excuse; the world hates the Christian viewpoint, which Camping either rightly or wrongly personified.

Maybe. But there are differences between the two situations. And there’s also much ridicule surrounding the supposed Mayan prophecy (even coming from people who might be termed pagans).

But there are differences between the two situations. I agree. Camping was more right than the Mayans; there WILL be a culmination of the Age with Christ reconciling the world and destroying the wicked, only the timing was wrong as was the knowing. On this, the Mayans were dead wrong.
And theres also much ridicule surrounding the supposed Mayan prophecy (even coming from people who might be termed pagans).
Sorry, there is nowhere near the ridicule of the Mayan belief about this apocalypse date as there was of Camping's. The point of the article is that numerous people are calling in to inquired of this Age's high priests, scientists, for answers.

Not to pick nits, but since the guys making the prediction were Mayan, I would say that 12/21/12 they were referring to would be Central American time...
