If you haven’t heard by now, the recent story of a boy drifting away in a homemade hot-air balloon was a complete hoax. It has recently come to light that the purpose of the hoax was for footage for a TV show to raise money. The intended purpose of that money? To build a bunker for protection from the sun exploding in 2012.

There’s been a lot of speculation and fear that the end of the world could coincide with the end of the Mayan calendar on Dec. 21, 2012. Sony’s doomsday film “2012,” set for release next month and based on the prediction that the world will end in three years, has put a spotlight on the theory.
Oh no! The Mayan calendar ends in 2012! The end is coming! The end is coming!
Maybe the world isn’t going to end in 2012; maybe it’s going to end December 31st 2009. Why December 31st 2009? Because that is when my Dilbert desk calendar ends… Seems plausible when you put it that way doesn’t it?
