It's the end of the world and they got it
wrong.With the upcoming disaster film "2012" and the current hype about Mayan calendars and doomsday predictions, it seems like a good time to put such notions in context.
Most prophets of doom come from a religious perspective, though the secular crowd has caused its share of scares as well. One thing the doomsday scenarios tend to share in common: They don't come to pass.
Sometimes I think I need to get a funny haircut and tell people that the end of the world is coming. 10% of the income of the idiots I can convince it's real? Beats working.
