The Mayans or your lying eyes?

By Donald Sensing

Yep, who ya gonna believe - the Mayans or your lying eyes?

The End Of The World As We Know It (TEOLAWKI) scenario in 2012 "revolves claims that the end of time will come as an obscure Planet X -- or Nibiru -- heads toward or collides into Earth." But NASA's not taking that claim lying down.

"There is no factual basis for these claims," NASA said in a question-and-answer posting on its website.

If such a collision were real "astronomers would have been tracking it for at least the past decade, and it would be visible by now to the naked eye," it added. "Obviously, it does not exist."
As Casey Stengel said about a baseball record, "You can look it up." Or in this case, just plain look up. See anything coming right atcha? Didn't think so.

But that's not to say all is well. Don't forget the supernova and galaxy-attack scenarios. And then the massive gas cloud speeding toward a collision with the Milky Way! Then we learn that the earth's atmosphere may detonate. And then the asteroids. Then the black hole death stars! And we might be swallowed whole by the sun. And there's an intense beam of gamma rays coming our way. Then there was the fear that "human society is very quickly headed to a violent and disturbing end." Then the earth began to kill people for changing its climate. Then there is the voracious, galactic Hoover in Switzerland that will suck the whole planet into a black hole. And the massive destruction along the coasts of countries like the USA, UK and many on the African continent, within a matter of hours.

I tell ya, I'm starting to think that sooner or later, every one of us is going to wind up dead.
