Ever since I was old enough to read newspapers, at the age of 8 or 9 (I had an advanced reading age) I have been reading about groups of people that believe the world will end on a certain date. All of varied theories.
The last diary dates for about 11 devastating comets, 4 mysterious explosions, 2 diseases that will make us extinct, 1 rise of the devil and 1 flooding by god......well, I seem to have missed them all.
