NASA Addresses 2012 Doomsayers, Attacks Insanity with Facts


Just a quick post for today. NASA has had enough of this 2012 doom nonsense and seeks to set the record straight.

Q: Does the Mayan calendar end in December 2012?
A: Just as the calendar you have on your kitchen wall does not cease to exist after December 31, the Mayan calendar does not cease to exist on December 21, 2012. This date is the end of the Mayan long-count period but then — just as your calendar begins again on January 1 — another long-count period begins for the Mayan calendar.

More sane, rational facts can be found at: 2012: Beginning of the End or Why the World Won’t End?

Even with NASA’s valiant efforts to calm the nutters of the Internets, all we foresee is 3 more years of SyFy and History Channel milking people’s fears with Doomy Dooms of Doom programs. Don’t get us started on John Cusack’s(and many others) bank account padding role in the upcoming Emmerich flick.

Just don’t.
