You Have 1,298 Days To Live! Just Thought You'd Like To Know
Did you know that Earth has an expiration date? Yes, it's Dec. 21, 2012. That's when life as we know it will end. Who says? The ancient Mayans predicted it, Chinese sages wrote of it and many Christians say it's foretold in the Bible. Go ahead, Google 2012, search for it on YouTube and learn. Or buy "The Complete Idiot's Guide to 2012," now in bookstores. You could wait for the movie; "2012" will be in theaters this fall. Basically, our days are numbered -- to 1,298 to be precise -- because a convergence of factors will result in the destruction of Earth: Extreme solar activity will peak just as Earth's protective magnetic shield is weakening, and there will be an alignment of planets that happens only once every 640,000 years. To top it off, the highly complex and accurate 5,000-year Mayan calendar comes to an abrupt end on winter solstice 2012. It all adds up to bad business for our planet. I hope you can commandeer a rocket ship to the moon or, perhaps a more economically feasible option: make your peace with God before then. At the very least now you have a timeline for getting to those episodes of that buzz-worthy TV show you felt compelled to Tivo but are never in the mood to actually watch.
