Doomsday’s gonna be one big party!
The ‘end of the world’ scare has given way to some serious celebration. Though the so-called doom doesn’t descend on the earth before December 21, 2012, as per the ancient Mayan prophecy, the web is already abuzz with people planning parties for the ‘grand event’.
No apocalypse means no reason to seek forgiveness
Rats. I thought I could get out of writing a column this week. I had marked May 21 as the end of the world because a preacher named Harold Camping in California (that should have been my first clue something was amiss) said on that day the Earth would be obliterated.
This is the way the world ends
For years we’ve been getting used to the idea that the world will end in 2012, as predicted by the Mayan calendar. However, Christian fundamentalists, in an effort to increase their share of the loony market, have now gone one better than the priests of Quetzalcóatl.
May 21, the end of the world: A good news/bad news view
At least, that’s what a Christian group claims in e-mails that have been spamming me and countless others, and in ads on the backs of Metro buses. The “news” prompted reader Edward Jones of Springfield to compose the perfect Post headline for May 22: “World ends: Traffic backed up for hours.”
Religious group declaring end of the world will begin next month marches through downtown Grand Rapids
Walter Lesiw fished a pamphlet from his jacket pocket. The people nearby shouting on the megaphone about the End of the World had one, too.

National campaign spreading “end of the world” message stops in Milwaukee
Caravans driving through the streets of Milwaukee with a message the world is going to end is a rare sight. The group of drivers say they’re just spreading the good word. May 21st is the date one group says the world will end.
World ends May 21?
Maybe you’ve seen the signs of the apocalypse. One was spotted in New York. Literally. The kind with lettering. Next to a sidewalk squatter, not far from the Ripley’s Believe It or Not museum. This wasn’t a vague the-end-is-nigh warning. This guy knew when: May 21, 2011.
World won’t end in 2012
The world is not going to end in 2012 and people should not panic because of fears of a major planet or asteroid hitting the earth, an astronomer has said. “No, that’s the short answer,” Professor Jocelyn Bell Burnell told News24 when asked about end of the world prophecies.
Here’s Why The World Is Going To End On May 21, 2011
We picked up a pamphlet in Union Square to see why so many people are talking about the world ending on May 21, 2011. It turns out the theory comes down to two numerological proofs.
End of the world and other stories
I watched a documentary on the Mayan calendar and the speculation that it depicts the end of the world on Dec.21. 2012. This is not a significant hardship for me as I usually don’t start my Christmas shopping until the 21st or 22nd. So if it actually doesn’t end, I still have time, but if it does end, then I haven’t wasted time and money on shopping, wrapping and gifts.
