Problems with the end of the world....

Well, by now, we all know the world is supposed to end tomorrow, right?  Well, there's just a few problems there.  Shall we examine them?

(1) The end of the world will come about by some cosmic alignment.  Well, if this theory were true, it would've been mostly true for the last several years because we can only detect these things within plus or minus a few percent.  Worry as much about tomorrow as you did about two years ago, or as much as you will two years in the future.  If it actually mattered, we'd be able to detect it better, so you're better off sleeping without worry.

(2) Nibiru, Planet X, etc...  Well, if a planet-sized object were to really come close to the Earth, it would be pretty awesome from a scientific standpoint.  Unfortunately for us, but fortunately for you, this does not appear to be the case.  Any time soon.  Sorry. I know. It sucks for all of us.

(3) Mega-volcano erupts!!  I don't know enough personally to put your fears at ease (honestly I still tremble a little when I think about it), but I'm assured by everyone I know close to the situation who really knows what's up that we have nothing to worry about.  That was my last chance to be a doomsday conspirator, so now I'm pretty done.  Maybe the world will end tomorrow, but probably, most likely, not.

(4) Black death v. 2.0.  Okay, this could happen.  I've been told that the latest cool way for kids to show their superiority is to lick their palm and then push it against another kids nose.  Then lick that same palm, and push it against another kid's nose.  I don't even know what to say about this.  However, should the black death v. 2.0 show up at our door, we'll all know pretty soon.  The kids are doing their best to make that one happen.

(5) Other small disasters.  Keep in mind that a million small things could happen tomorrow.  I could egg you on by saying that, "and the government doesn't want you to put two and two together!!"  but that would be pretty stupid.  The worst thing would be that something big happens tomorrow, and then you put more weight on the nonesense than it merits.  Try to stay rationale, that's all I ask.

I know it's a tall order when the kids are licking their palms and then planting them on other kids noses.  Seriously.  What's got into them?
