Only 113 days till the end of the world. Where's the gnashing of teeth?

In the past few years people at lest made a little stink about the end of the world, but now there's nothing.

What gives?



This Christmas the gifts are going on credit cards....just in case.

However clarification of the MAYAN prophecy, just found this year, states it is simply the beginning of a new calander like december to january. Involving no earth shattering...... we are doing that ourselves.

What are they going to broadcast on 12-22-12????? All I have seen for over a year on those channels is Nostradamus, Mayan Calendars, prophecy, the Bible predictions, tales of planet alignments etc etc. Hope they have some new material

broadcasts programs about this. I don't have cable, I can only hope they're debunking myths and not feeding into it.

gnashing your teeth isn't good for them. The 10th dentist refused to comment.

the doomers will have to find a new end of the world theory to shriek about. They will find a lot of comfort in the EE group.
