#1 Yes, but sooner. I was on AM radio late last night and the Astrology signs are not good at all. World economic order, if you can call it that, will collapse. The world stock markets will be the beginning signal of collapse. Yes, 2012. I'm going to request a waver. Timeout maybe. You know like, I got times. The end is near sign might be handy. I got to have a dog. The guy always makes it when he has a dog.

#2 "It sounds like pseudoscience, but it's a published theory. "

This idiot doesn't seem to realize that those two things are not mutually exclusive. Shall we talk about UFOs? Nuclear winter/global freezing (circa 1975)? Global Warming? Phrenology? etc.

To quote the estimable Bugs Bunny, "Whadda marroon!"
