Midnight has come and gone on December 21 and the world is still in tact. At least, it is where we are.

The end of the world didn't show up. This writer can safely report from a place where it has been past midnight for an hour now and nothing has happened... yet. December 21 came and is still here with all of the excitement of any other Friday. According to this countdown clock, the real, Mayan-predicted hour of reckoning isn't until 6:11 a.m. ET. So, you know, there's still time for you to get laid one last time, just in case. Or if you're in California, spark one up. It's your last chance, maybe.

Hopefully this failed doomsday results in New York tabloid covers that were as good as the last predicted apocalypse. We're sure we'll hear stories from disappointed people who thought this was definitely it for this stinkin' planet, too.

Until then, there are people arguing how the world can't possibly end because they have things to do on Friday. (Or because they're still a virgin.) (Or because its Friday.) New-agers are talking nonsense about it being a "cosmic dawn," whatever that means, instead of the apocalypse. The New York Times has a good-if-concerning roundup of stories of people freaking out over this whole thing.

And, in what's either the most well-timed promotional effort ever, or the single dumbest timing for a movie release ever, Seth Rogen released the NSFW trailer for his new movie This Is The End Thursday evening. Rogen and literally every single person who's appeared in a Rogen-affiliated movie over the last five years run around and try and survive the end of the world:

So, until 6:11 a.m. when it's officially the minute the Mayan's predicted the world would end all those moons ago, we leave you with these words of wisdom: you probably should have said no.

Yes, good morning to all! Okay here in California. Hawaii, your turn!
 
Well, I guess I'll have to wrap the Christmas presents after all.
 
Maybe, they read the calendar wrong? Perhaps, they actually meant 12/21/21? If that's the case, we have another 9 years. ;)

Yes, now we can learn about the "cosmic dawn" and the "beginning of the End times." Altho', there are thousands of people who have some date in 1914 when that process started, already. There's no escaping their certainty.

I remember being frozen in front of a clock on April 22, 1959. I forget the time of day but it came and went.

During those years, I was a part of a religious group which had a splinter - I think that term describes them well enough. They were convinced that the End would come on April 22, 1959. We, on the other hand, were not supposed to think that way but I'm sure I wasn't the only young person in the group who could have been found staring at that clock.

It wasn't too much longer that I could put up with the main denomination. I was outta there. Splinter people, or some of them, stayed locked into their beliefs. Many were successful in going to their personal End together not all that many years later. Fellowship, you know . . . and Fixation, I guess.
