I wonder if National Weather Service gone too far into the Apocalypse thing, naming a winter storm Draco, Latin for dragon.

I know of the constellation, but the Weather Channel actually is claiming they were naming it after the Greek lawgiver.

Yes, a winter storm could be named Gandolf, Q, or Orko!

Orko as in the Orko from he-man?

The Weather Channel is claiming Orko, as in the Basque thunder god, but really how many people would even think that there was even a Basque thunder god named Orko? We all will be thinking of He-Man if Orko hits!

You're right I certainly didn't know there was a Basque thunder god.

That Weather Channel list has so many unintentional jokes in it. Really, Q for a NYC subway line, not say a James Bond invention or a demigod-like being in Star Trek, in a list of historical people and mythological/literary characters? OK?

You know what I'm dying to see? Testimonials of people who really did buy into this whole thing. Like, people who really thought yesterday was the end of days. Basically, I want to see a humble pie eating contest.

I want to hear about the people who blew their life savings because they seriously thought we'd all die. They've gotta be feeling like idiots about now.

Here's one such case:

http://www.sodahead.com/living/would-you-blow-your-life-savings-to-escape-the-alleged-apocalypse-on-december-212012/question-3354819/

Spent his life savings (equalling $160,000) building a boat that was barely sea-worthy.

A guy I know texted one of our mutual friends and said "Hey, I heard Australia just collapsed into the ocean when they hit the 21st." He went to an appointment and when he checked his phone afterward there were five frantic messages to the tone of "OH MY GOD SERIOUSLY?"
I'm actually more surprised he didn't blow everything considering how gullible he is.

But really, if the Mayans could "predict the future" they would have been able to see the threats to their society, work around it, and live happily ever after. But there are no Mayans now, are there?

I've heard enough stupid stories about stupid idiots blowing everything off for the Rapture.
I don't think I can survive another.

For some reason, the majority seems to consist of US citizens.

I guess we just like our doom and gloom.

I pity those who stocked up on MRE's. Apparently, shelf-life and durability take priority over taste.

Some aren't bad, however some of them made me want to strangle whoever created them.

I've never tastes MRE's myself, but I've heard that clam chowder is the worst of the lot.

BTW, since we're on the topic of the apocalypse, I'm now hearing theories that the Korean rapper Psy (yeah, that Gangnam Style guy) is the prophesied horseman of doom in Nostradamus' writings--something about a prancing horse completing the nine circles.

Are these people really that looking forward to watching the world burn? I'm pretty indifferent about the world's survival, personally. I just rather it not be destroyed while I'm still living in it.

Actually there's millions of them.

B-But...those aren't the flint-blade wielding, heart-ripping, human sacrificing ones from Apocalypto.

Nah, that's the tourist side.

Do we really need the modern Mayans to return to their roots on that one?

I know, right? Also they're called Mayas, there's no N. Just another popular misconception about them, along with the misconception that their civilization ended, and that they were able to predict the end of the world.

The one we never know happens.

Well, I doubt they'll be bothering the Maya for a while. Doomsday morons are now saying the Korean rapper Psy is the prophesied horseman in Nostradamus' predictions--something about a prancing horse and the nine circles representing his one billion views in youtube.

I guess he'll spreading leg injuries and hernias instead of pestilence, plague or war.

Lada Gaga, Bieber, and various other no talents is a better sign of the apocalypse (psy stinks too!). At least, this Psy one is a pure hoax, not a mere misunderstanding.
