Missing: a chunk of earth's crust. Interesting article . Click here to read. In many ways it is comforting knowing that we do not know many, many of our world's mysteries.
Well... we ended up with TV again... and the other day I watched a horrifying show called "Doomsday 2012" on the History Channel, so that's the latest thing that has me worried. Here's the description of the show (from The History Channel's website): There are prophecies and oracles from around the world that all seem to point to December 21, 2012 as doomsday. The ancient Mayan Calendar, the medieval predictions of Merlin, the Book of Revelation and the Chinese oracle of the I Ching all point to this specific date as the end of civilization. A new technology called "The Web-Bot Project" makes massive scans of the internet as a means of forecasting the future... and has turned up the same dreaded date: 2012. Skeptics point to a long history of "Failed Doomsdays", but many oracles of doom throughout history have a disturbingly accurate track record. As the year 2012 ticks ever closer we'll speculate if there are any reasons to believe these doomsayers.
