[http://dsc.discovery.com/news/2009/10/22/nasa-debunks-2012.html](http://dsc.discovery.com/news/2009/10/22/nasa-debunks-2012.html) I found this article interesting. I don’t believe in the whole 2012 thing, so I like when scientists come forward and just spend a little time disproving it. ---

this is just like the whole Millinum Bug thing, something that the day after we wil be laughing at the morons who were trolled by people from 5000 years ago. ---

Well the Millennium Bug was a man-made flaw in computer systems… My \_\_\_ actually worked on fixing it…just cause something doesn’t happen doesn’t mean it wasn’t prevented. ---

Every time I see one of those “World going to end according to (insert historical figure/civilization)” articles, I laugh myself silly. 😛 What makes it more priceless is how many fall for it. I’ve seen within 5 weeks time at the grocer’s four tabloid papers all claiming Nostrodamus foreseeing the end of the world at X day X month X year…and all four papers with different dates. Ranks up with batboy and the alligator kid. ---

I don’t know how you can compare a Tabloid magazine to an Ancient Mayan Calendar. Other than the Tabloid magazine will eventually pull from it in 2010-2011. ---
