Every time society predicts the end of the world, it isn't, and then we pick a new date. I read that every century and year with a symmetrical number brings about hysteria. So like 1800 had people freaking out, and 1900 had people freaking out. I remember people saying that it was the end during 1999, 2000, and 2001 because of the millennium, and then 2002 because it's so symmetrical. I was burned out on the concept by then. I remember news articles about it and even a rap song about it and this old guy I talked to obsessing about it. And then 06/06/06 (the day the remake of The Omen was released) because people thought that it was six years since Christ had risen, and not 2006 years after Christ had risen. Pesky #20. Now everybody’s chomping at the bit over 2012 because that’s when the Mayan calendar ends. My coworker went ON and ON and ON about it and I quietly thought that she was a freak. But what year will spell the end of the world as we know it after 2012?
