Tuesday, August 12th, 2008

I’ve heard that people say it will be global warming… what reasons have you heard?
 
That’s nothing more than people allowing themselves to get caught up in the mysticism of ancient tribal folklore. The whole concept derives from the Mayan calendar ending on December 21, 2012 even with no real reason for why it […]
