According to io9, it’s more than just the end of the world that we need to worry about for 2012. Their predictions for this year include:
- an evangelical preacher being elected president, turning the US into a theocracy;
- the end of the US economy;
- the rediscovery of Atlantis.
They missed out on a couple though:
- Whitley Streiber (famous for being anally fingered by aliens) wrote about the boundaries between three parallel earths thinning in a parade of mental illness that would make David Icke blush;
- Dan Brown’s apocalypse, which can only be preferable to reading any more of his dross;
- Endless parkouring assassins jump around trying to give conspiracy theorists more to do than in any other year.
Still, it looks like the US isn’t going to get its first female president in time.
