The 2012 Conspiracy Theory...

It's been awhile since I've waxed poetic on my Newest Favoritest Conspiracy Theory. It's an ever changing fascination with alarmists, plotters and crazies. Give me your Lincolns, your JFKs, your Area 51s, it's all good.

My obsession with the absurd but sometimes scarily semi-plausible, began when I was about 8 yrs old or so and would sneak out of bed, sit at the top of the stairs, totally hidden but at the perfect angle to see/hear the tv when my parents were watching these shows. I would literally quake with fear in my bed.

Nothing, but nothing, honestly scares the conspirator crap out of me like 2012.

Even the History Channel is in on it with their Armageddon Week which was earlier this month. (Nice timing, guys, way to make people feel all warm, hopeful and fuzzy in the new year).

If you're unfamiliar with it all, go take the penny tour at Wikipedia.

Everyone from the Maya, to the Aztecs to the Egyptians and Nostradamus say we're screwed. The world will come to an end on Dec. 21, 2012...apparently.

What I appreciate most about this theory is the scope of different ways that it will come about. Some say nuclear war, some say the magnetic poles are going to shift, some say flu/biological warfare, the possibilities are endless, really.

This reminds me of all the hoopla leading up to Y2K (remember that?) There's even this guy, who is probably legitimately making money on this fear. Fear not, though, Obama has been given notice to save all of humanity.

Thankfully, it may not be left up to him alone. Clinton, over at Zombie Eats Shark has probably the funniest and best ways to save us using simple logic. Take a trip through his break down of the Apocalypse. It's freakin' hilarious. But I guess it's good to keep your sense of humor in the face of impending doom, right?

My personal favorite is his answer for religious apocalypse...
