Just a quick post for today. NASA has had enough of this 2012 doom nonsense and seeks to set the record straight.<\/p>\n
\nQ:<\/strong> Does the Mayan calendar end in December 2012?
\nA:<\/strong> 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<\/a>. This date is the end of the Mayan long-count period but then — just as your calendar begins again on January 1<\/a> — another long-count period begins for the Mayan calendar.<\/p><\/blockquote>\nMore sane, rational facts can be found at: 2012: Beginning of the End or Why the World Won’t End?<\/a><\/p>\n
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<\/a> programs. Don’t get us started on John Cusack’s(and many others) bank account padding role in the upcoming Emmerich flick<\/a>.<\/p>\n
