However, that doesn't stop us from speculating over what it might mean, if it really was the end of the world. After all, we will be confronted with this at some point in the future, whether it is the Mayan predictions, global warming or some other global catastrophe.
I personally favour calling people out over their predictions and asking for an apology. The videos and blogs should remain online with an additional retraction by the author as a monument to delusion and a warning to others.

Wow. We're not sure how to react to this... other than to stock up on tinned goods, tell our family and friends how much we love them, and get in our ...

Archaeologists have unearthed an ancient Mayan mural believed to be a calendar projecting events some 7,000 years into the future – thus contradicti...

Good news, everyone! The end of the world won't take place in 2012. Hooray! Sven Gronemeyer of Australia's La Trobe University says that his interp...
