Just in case you haven’t been paying attention, I’m here to let you know that the world will be ending this year. Funny thing is, it ended last year, too, and even the year before that. In fact, the Apocalypse has been an imminent event nearly every year since recorded history began.

It’s like the old Steve Martin skit …

“Remember when the Earth blew up? It was completely destroyed? You don’t remember that? And we all escaped to this planet on the great space ark? And the government decided not to tell the stupid people because … Ohhhhh.”

(Yeah, that was from memory, so probably not exact, but you get the point. )

Fortunately, Chris Nelson took the time to give us a full and quite detailed history of the Apocalypse.

Anyway, that’s the last you’ll hear about the end of the world from me. At least for this year.
