NASA On Full Court Press To Deflate Doomsday Prophecies

coondoggie writes "Insidious unknown planets lurking behind the sun ready to slam into Earth, supernova set to engulf the planet and giant, unseen asteroids screaming toward our globe are all theories espoused across the Internet as to how we will meet our demise on 12/21/2012. Do any of these theories even remotely hold out a scintilla of evidence they could happen? Not even remotely if you look at the material NASA has put out which pretty much debunks any and all of the notions being floated in across the cybersphere."

I've always wondered if others find US date formats hard to read. 12/21/2012 is silly. It's not in the correct order! Month/Day/Year? As a database person I prefer 2012/12/21 or 21/12/2012 or similar. I'm not trying to troll. It's caused problems before when exchanging emails around the world - Is the date format restricted to the US, or is it more prevalent? A friend had a messed up birth certificate because the UK and US documents both had days 12 and the moths and days got mixed up.
