Drive at 5: World ending in 2012?

(Poster from On the Beach, the 1950s film in which the world ends in 1964 due to nuclear war.)

Hah! Did I get your attention? Pretending to be a blogger whose livelihood depends on hits. (Shouldn't joke. Could happen!)

Anyway, on your way home, ponder this: There are several predictions that the world will end, finally, in 2012. I first heard about it over the weekend in a History Channel documentary, but I am way behind the doomsday curve.

Read the USA Today story about the predictions.

So last question of this day: You have four years left. Plans?
