Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Since the beginning of time there have been literally hundreds of thousands of predictions for the end of the world and we're still here.
(Carl Sagan)
To all the pseudoscientists out there: WE TOLD YOU SO! Please stop scaring children in the future.

ReplyDeleteTaking a moment to stick my head outside the bunker and wish you a fine holiday season.
ReplyDeleteMy best to you too!
ReplyDeleteStupid "End of the World" non-event... now I have to go do my washing I was putting off. What a rip off.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Ant (hug)
Let's hope there are no more ancient end-of-the-world predictions to be uncovered for the foreseeable future. This secretly saving all mankind bit is exhausting & the pay sucks!
ReplyDeleteOop! Wasn't supposed to mention anything. Let's just pretend I didn't, 'k?
All the best to you & yours, AC!
@Laoch, hahaha. Same to you and a peaceful 2013.
ReplyDelete@dbs, same to you and yours! Hopefully FU 2013 will be a hoax;)
@Sprite, don't worry, I'm sure they're setting future dates already.
Thank you and to you and your family as well. (Hug accepted, copied and forwarded).
@Vinny, ah that was you then? The age-old superhero problem; no pay, while the greedy supervillains steal everything...uum wait...metaphor?
Thank you and the best to yours as well!
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL!!! AND A HEALTHY AND HAPPY 2013 TO EVERYONE!!!! I AM SCREAMING FOR EMPHASIS. WISH YOU THE BEST.
And world peace.
AC out.
Mayans huh? Never saw the bloody Spanish coming did they?
ReplyDeleteHope you and yours have a great Christmas and a fabulous New Year.
Awrra best!
Alistair.
Life's extraordinariness is ordinary and its ordinariness extraordinary - 'all' we have to do is grow accustomed to the idea? I do wonder about our collective need to catastrophize (sp?). Sigh. Seems we are slow learners!
ReplyDeleteHope you had a wonderful Christmas, Ant., and that 2013 offers up the best kind of surprises for you for and all of us.
L, C
@Alistair, LOL.
DeleteThank you,same to you and yours.
@Claire, so very true.
I think we miss the real danger of a portly mammoth running our way.
Thank you, wish you the same. Good surprises.
