Ah yes, the beauty of destruction is surely unique and rare. For us to glare upon such a transcendent sight, is truly bewildering.
Ahem..., now that I'm done with that, let me just say this. I will hug the person who started this rumor, if it's true(Although I doubt that the person will be alive by then). I don't care about religions, heaven, hell, and all relating crap. For me this is actually a better date than December 21st. Because by then, I'd be done with my engineering education and probably will be enrolling myself in a serious full time job, just starting life as an independent person. So, it's like rubbing it in for me, and making me think, "All that studying and crap, for this?!(while staring at the huge tsunami wave)".
And guys, forget about what the Bible says, or any other book in that matter. They all have been wrong, one or the other time.
