6. You know, speaking of that...

It would be wise to have some genetic variations in the pool, so maybe it isn't such a bad idea to bring me along anyway...

I promise not to be too picky about which supermodel we bring along...

:P

7. What are they saying? A meteorite or something?
I have heard this several times. I have survived 20 years of aids..if i die when the planet gets hit, that would really suck. I don't mind the idea of me alone dying..it's knowing that everyone else is going to dye that really blows.

10. They do this for the same reason everyone goes "Ooooh" when the 'death' card is turned over
in tarot.

The mayan calender FOR THIS ERA ends in December 2012. Not for the world. For this particular epoch. That is all. And as far as Nostradamus is concerned... well, I shouldn't even HAVE to mention why that's full of crap. :P

14. Ages ago. Last year they did a thing on Peak Oil.
Apparently History has four major fields of study: Hitler, Imperial Rome, The Future and Modern Americans Fighting Badly With Period Weapons.

21. When I grow up I'm building a trebuchet.
None of my neighbors will give me shit if I can throw a broke-down old car at their house.

16. It sells
They need a vehicle for those ShamWow commercials, and they guess (correctly, I'm afraid) that the American public will tune in to this trash.

I get *so* amused when they treat bible passages as historic "proof"...
