December 21, 2012. The end of the world. You've heard chatter about this date for a couple of years now, likely in the form of vociferous warnings from the itinerant madman who is just articulate enough to make you think on the subject. Surely, you don't subscribe to the philosophy, but that doesn't quell your fascination. It's hard not to take interest. Way back when, a group of Mayans proclaimed the 21st day of December in our very own Christian calendar's year of 2012 to be the onset of the apocalypse. Or at least, some time since the Mayans made their proclamation of whatever date it'd be to kick off a good old-fashioned Armageddon, modern scientists miscalculated that prediction to land on Dec. 21.
There are a slew of divergent accounts flying around — the world will end next month; the world won't end next month, but the world as we know it will; nothing will happen next month, but on a separate date allotted by the Mayans, or Nostradamus, or Miss Cleo, or your friend Brian; and then, as the majority of the free world probably thinks, the world isn't really going to end. Not for a long while. Not until the sun does its whole implosion shtick, which shouldn't even take place until humans are long dead from whatever would have happened to us in Wall-E were not for the heroism of Wall-E. It doesn't matter to which category you belong — in one way or another, the apocalypse-to-be has cemented a presence in your life
