The world isn't really going to end in 2012. That's apparently a western interpretation of one Mayan ruin, but ask any Mayan what's going to happen in 2012 and they won't know what you're talking about:

Archaeologist Guillermo Bernal of Mexico's National Autonomous University.... notes there are other inscriptions at Mayan sites for dates far beyond 2012 — including one that roughly translates into the year 4772.

Letters of Note is an attempt to gather and sort fascinating letters, postcards, telegrams, faxes, and memos. Scans/photos where possible. Fakes will be sneered at. Updated 2-3 times every weekday.

Jodi Skeris, a cast member of the Un-Scripted Theater Company's upcoming production of Let It Snow, was on a date October 30, 2006 in New York with a friend of 2007 Let It Snow cast member Molly Robertson when she got hit by a car and thrown through a Daffy's store window. Not only did she survive, but she wrote a very funny song about it too. Read her blog about it here (you can also listen to the song there). I will try to embed the song below, but I don't know if it will work.

In 1789, the governor of Australia granted land and some animals to James Ruse in an experiment to see how long it would take him to support himself. Within 15 months he had become self sufficient. The area is still known as Experiment Farm. This is my Experiment Farm to see how long it will take me to support myself by writing.
