Seek and you will find...very true. You have sought out all sorts of weird stuff, got into it and begun to believe it. Its a quite normal human trait.

There will be many seriously pissed off deluded people in 2013. But then, as we know from all the previously predicted 'end times' they will happily say it was a miscalculation, or its not precise, we may have to wait a bit longer, or (my personal favourite) say that they performed some ritual which saved us all.

Ive heard it all before many times.
