For the record, I have also watched numerous Jane Austen adaptations, and on my other blog. Will be forcing myself to watch National Velvet. One day soon. I'm so evolved. That I can't see why anyone would ever take an interest in him. And to sum it up: he burns the letters. Archival trash, indeed. Ooh yeah, I read that!

Okay, so maybe the Web isn't the most reliable news source, but when Google returns 26,100,000 hits for the search "end of the world 2012" (sans quotes), something serious is going on, right? How will you spend your last 1000 days? Or Zeus or the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Or refusing to take it seriously? Ever wondered who or what Nibiru is?
