The History Channel has moved the end of the world forward about half a century and Newton is the great prophet of conflagration. Everytime we progress past one of these endtime markers someone reads the goat entrails and tosses out another date to keep people all worked up. This one is based on the ME and Israel and chosen people and the temple.
Please give the world a break.

What you are talking about was a worldwide call to meditate.
We were just married and we, the party people from our wedding, were buzzing our asses off. We went to the shore of Lake Erie to get a load at the hootenanny and the Celebration and it was cool. My first pagan ritual and it took us all at how cool it was.
Some of the people that came down with us started chanting We are one with the infinite sun...
And then we went to Big Boy for breakfast.
