Oh no, another storm heading our way and the end of the world is near!

Weather warning: a tropical depression has formed in the Atlantic. It is named TD 12 and is headed towards the United States at a speed of 15 mph, however since it’s about 300 miles off the coast of Africa, and Africa is like 4,000 miles away from the US, no one should panic just yet. Unless you want to!! Then it’s okay. As we learned with Hurricane Irene, no amount of press coverage of a panic-stricken nation is too much.

Okay, on to more serious matters, and the end of the world prediction for December 21st, 2012. Apparently there’s no need to worry say’s Juan Valdez, renowned coffee bean picker. “I no worry,” says Valdez, “the end of world not come as long as we pray to “Cizen” god of death and ask forgiveness for our addiction to pornography.” Although Valdez is a fictional character and lived nowhere near Maya people, many people still regard him as the “God of the Mountain Grown Coffee Bean.”

Elsewhere, Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi, is still in hiding and may be hanging out in a series of tunnels in Tripoli. Maybe taking a page out of the book Saddam Huessein  was writing at the time of his capture: “‘Rabbit hole: Yankee Not Smart Enough to Look for Me Here.
