1999 had to be the scariest year for me. All year long we were hearing about the end of the world. They predicted blackouts and food shortages. Halloween also fell on a sunday that year. This made the y2k spoof feel real and alive. When china celebrated their new years, nothing happened to them. This is how the world was able to brace the new millennium. Now there is another apocalypse hanging above our heads. This time we have two scenarios that can happen. One is Planet x and the other is 2012.
What is Planet x? This is the doom predicted by scientists. This is the planet they claimed responsible for the first ice age. According to sources, the planet is the size of the moon. 2012 is the year predicted to hit. When it hits, the planet is suppose to stop rotating for 3 days. The earth can stop rotating for 2 hours and that can cause problems.
The year 2012 has also been predicted to be the end of the world. This traces back to the Mayan civilization. They are the ones responsible for the calendars. They stopped making the calendars on December 21, 2012. After that date, the whole civilization disappeared. Nobody knows where they went.
Is this another scare for the public? If you ask me, this one is too close to call folks. The movie 2012 does not make matters better. Some of the scenes from the preview look like the end described in Revelations. I guess we won’t know until it happens.
Oh, yeah, ready to die in 2012 with everyone else. Perhaps it is a better fate than having to deal with Sarah Palin.
