So if we're still here on Christmas morning, the world didn't end!

It's just an arbitrary calendar event.
Most predictions only work after the event. Postdictions? The nonsense around Nostradamus for example. Follows maintain that somehow his predictions fit perfectly when you look back before the current time. Well, many vague things can be made to fit. Oddly enough though, they tend to be a bit vague and wooly when considering future events.

Of course, if you're also a subscriber to the theory of b-time (block universe), then you'll know the world has already ended (and also not yet been formed). Just try not to look surprised.

I can't dance.
Ah well, I'm sure the bottle of JD I just received from the ICT Manager will help me through my despair :D
Whoops - I'm in deep doggy do - just ate a cake that was left in the staffroom - apparently it was someone's prize.....!

I wonder what date they'll announce next, then. *sigh*
EDIT: *double-sigh* Oh, so it's the 24th now? Ha! I will personally end the world myself (GOLDENEYE!) if all I'm going to hear every single bloody day is "It's today, oh wait no it's today, oh wait no. Definitely today now!" -_-
All I can say is it was a good thing I decided to do the job interview rather than go out on a rape and pillage spree. (And I'm sure the interviewee thinks the same since we offered him the job.)
Who knows, maybe the calendar was their version of an Christmas Advent Calendar ;)
Minus the chocolate.
