The 2012 apocolypse (sic) is part of a bizzaro complex of beliefs which includes ZOMG alien-infested planets careening around the solar system like billiard balls, ancient Sumerian fish people, wacky old Terrance McKenna and his drug-induced insect-like hyperdimensional entities, crop circles, NASA coverups, Mars landings, lizard people, CIA mind control, and the fact that quantum physics proves all of this.

I think the Olympics are happening around then too.

Apparently last week was "Only six galactic spins till solstice 2012" according to an email from a friend. According to him the Mayans migrated North, and then it's something about Lunar calendars and Omaha indians, but I'm not entirely sure how these things link together (The more I read it im afraid the less I know).

Someone just told me that no one knows how microprocessors work because there's an equation inside them (sic) in which x+infinity is divided by y+infinity, and this isn't mathematically possible.

So - er - just thought you ought to know.

Or not know. I forget now.

Where do these people come from & why don't they go back there?

Oh why not.

And I'm sure they had lead acid battery powered astronomical computer as well.

And pyramids.

And an advanced non-industrial civilization taught to them by the Space Beings.

(It's all covered-up by the government, you know.)

Is a spin the time for the galaxy to complete one turn?

In that case we will only have to wait some 1 500 million years for six more galactic spins.

But I espeically like the stuff about Eizabeth II being a lizard.

You forgot the sunspots.

(Although, the predicted solar maximum for 2012 might do a number on our communications, and that would certainly leave its mark globally.)

Wait a minute, could an intense aurora be the spectacle we're supposed to see then?

Sheesh. People need to relax.

<Sigh> Hit post instead of preview.

"People need to relax if that's what the whole thing's about."

Having satellites knocked out by solar storms wouldn't be fun (and I refuse to watch Knowing-- no solar flares for me, thank you). But now I wonder if the galactic things we're supposed to see are really just intense auroras!
