What are you doing until doomsday?

[earlnemo]

Only 66 days (or 68, depending on who does the calculating) until the beginning of the end. Anyone making preparations?

Actually, other than an article in Archaeology debunking it, I've seen little in pop cult recently about the Mayan calendar. The buzz just doesn't seem anywhere near as omnipresent as with the millennium doomsday talk. They just don't throw good apocalypses anymore.

Uh... have you been following the election?

No.

Last apocalypse, I enjoyed this site.

Or watch asteroid hit earth this morning.

The videos are surreal, like something out of a disaster movie. I can't imagine what it must feel like to see something like that heading toward you.

Doomsday redux
Watch asteroid 2012 DA14 miss Earth at 2:25 Friday afternoon

From today's article attributed to Marcia Dunn with the AP:

As asteroids go, DA14 is a shrimp. The one that wiped out the dinosaurs 65 million years ago was 6 miles across.

She writes that with such certainty. I haven't really kept up with dinosaur extinction theories lately, but have they really discovered the exact size of the asteroid?

2012 DA14 has passed the Earth at its closest point a couple of minutes ago and is now moving away.

Did it pick up those Heaven's Gate cultists?

No not our time, Asia time. It could be viewed by Australia, Asia, Africa and some parts of Europe. Also, Russia has reported some damage and about 1,000 people hurt which makes me kinda giggle...."Today I got injured by something from outer space"....sorry Russian...anyway, I also heard that a group of scientists are somewhere in Colorado creating a group that watches our skies for incoming asteroids. Really? They JUST decided to create this now? I mean, God! A little insignificant person such as myself had known about this since 1999.....and NOW you are making a group to watch our skies?? Geeeez!At least it isn't left to SETI to figure this crap out alone.
Also, it is said to fly around the sun and return in a few years from now...(now I know how the children's song came from: "Round and Round it goes, where it stops, nobody knows")
