But of course the main reason to worry would is that if a global catastrophe really did happen in a year predicted by the Mayan calendar/Nostradamus/the alignment of hairs in some conspiracy nut's plughole we'd never hear the end of it. Can you imagine how awful those people would be if they actually turned out to be right for once?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05501987706898459702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7812818113282970877.post-37056464191670996582009-04-21T16:15:00.000+01:002009-04-21T16:15:00.000+01:00As long as it comes after the OlympicsAs long as it comes after the OlympicsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7812818113282970877.post-38081289095247572782009-04-21T00:11:00.000+01:002009-04-21T00:11:00.000+01:00Dr Hanlon tells me it should all be over by teatim...Dr Hanlon tells me it should all be over by teatime.
