#1 I was watching a Great Courses lecture on archeoastronomy the other day. The lecturer made the point that the Mayan Dec. 21, 2012 date was not the end of the world, but merely the end of one calendar epoch and the start of another. Pity, all that hysteria for nothing.

For whom is still undecided.

#8 It should be interesting that if the world really does end within the next week or two, I have to wonder how many Dem candidates will still receive votes.
