On the bright side, we can drink plenty of egg nog and eat lots of Christmas cookies, pies and cakes. With the coming end of the world, no need to worry about cholesterol or gaining weight.

Also, run up those credit cards. Might as well!

It was a TV series in late-80s/early-90s, featuring a guy who could do anything with a paperclip/toothpick/thread/pencil (grab any available item).

So implausible, it was wildly popular for 7yrs. I watched it 2-3x.

It will however, start down that path on 1 Jan 2013 when Obamacare and the tax hikes kick in.

People will WISH it would end.

Hey, don’t put the Mayans down. They were pretty smart people. They were pioneers in open heart surgery!

You're bad, very bad,... But I'm laughing! They were efficient people. No tax system, just work you to death. You follow the party line and give straight from the heart.

I don't think there are more than a dozen Americans who believe the end of the world will come on 12/12/12 because of Mayan predictions.

People in the country are mostly prepping because of the coming economic collapse that is almost inevitable. Not comets, but riots are on the way.

Excellent movie. The anxiety leading up to the end was almost unbearable.

12+12+12+12 =48

In "mystic addition" 48=12 {4+8}

You're definitely doomed. ;o)

with due respect to Blondie

"The End Is Nigh"

The end is nigh but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your raptured one
I'm not the kind of guy who gives up just like that
Oh, no

It's not the things the Martians do that probe and hurt me bad
But it's the way they do the things they do

I'm not the kind of guy who gives up just like that
Oh, no

The end is nigh but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your raptured one
Raptured one, raptured one

Every quix wants you to be the horseman
But I'll wait my dear 'til it's my turn

I'm not the kind of guy who gives up just like that
Oh, no

The end is nigh but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your raptured one
raptured one, raptured one

[Repeat and ad lib until fade]

"2012 Doomsday , Millions of Chinese, Russians and Americans Believe the End of the World Is Nigh"

And, many, many, more Millions don't Believe the End of the World Is Nigh.

Heh, Heh.

"By the way, I will be 12+12+12+12 on 12/12/12."

How cool is that! My birthdate is also 12/12/12 but the age doesn't line up!

Most Preppers are good at multitasking. Comets, EMP, zombies, economic collapse, riots, etc.

Happy belated birthday; and Hey! We're still here! At least until the next end of the world.
