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."

  1. Of course they'd say that to avoid global panic by SpankyDaMonkey · · Score: 5, Informative

    There's 2 options here:

    1. Everything is fine, no gobal apocalypse

    2. There's something on the way that's going to kill us all, but if we tell you about it the whole world will panic and riots will stop the government getting itself to safety along with a handpicked few 'key' people

    Either way - they'll say it's safe

    And on that note, I'm going to hang up my tin foil hat

    I'm postponing my doomsday-device test until December 22, just so I can laugh at those idiots who believe all that nonsense.

  3. I'm gonna start calling Dec 31st.... by vell0cet · · Score: 5, Funny

    If people are going to call Dec 21 the "Mayan Apocalypse," I'm going to start calling Dec 31 the "Gregorian Apocalypse" ... every year.
