I’ve always wondered what sort of person really believes the world is going to end on 21 December<\/a> just because it’s the end of an arbitrary cycle on an obscure and academically disputed Mesoamerican calendar, and now I know – it’s the same sort of person who spends his entire life savings building a huge boat to try and escape it.<\/p>\n

Although the 2012 “prediction” isn’t exactly specific about events, Lu Zhenghai of Urumqi, China, is apparently banking on a global flood and<\/span> has reportedly sunk \u00a51 million<\/span> (R15 million) into his apocalypse-proof ark, measuring 21.2m long, 15.5m wide, and 5.6m high<\/span>.<\/p>\n

What if there’s a fireball inferno or a megavolcano or just, you know, nothing much out of the ordinary at all? I guess Lu is out of luck (and money) then. Man, he’s going to feel so stupid on 22 December, I’m almost hoping there’s at least a bit of a drizzle or something.<\/p>\n
