2012

Nothing like talking about eschatology first thing in the morning.

Student: Ms. S, do you think the world will end in 2012?
Me: What do you think?
Student: I don't know.
Me: What makes you think that?
Student: Well a scientist said so.
Me: Gotcha. Well a lot of scientists and a lot of people have said that they knew when the world would end. What about 2000? Were they right? Did the world end? (Ha! Got 'em).
Student: Yeah good point.
Other student: Well, the world DID end for some poeople that year.
