Ah yes, 2012, brought to you by the same people who brought you the Age of Aquarius, the Harmonic Convergence, the beam of mystical ultraviolet light from higher dimensions, a hundred different "ends of the world", and so many other much-hyped cosmic events, each one culminating in the same result: ABSOLUTELY NOTHING HAPPENED! I'm so excited!
Pardon me while I practice the ancient art of Sacred Vomiting.
Does that seem harsh? Okay, here's your chance to tell me "I told you so" when the predicted event comes true: Make one or more predictions about what will happen on December 21st, 2012--predictions that are specific enough so that the events of that day will clearly confirm or disconfirm them, significant enough to be worth all your hype, and unusual enough that we can't expect them to happen in the usual course of events. Bet me whatever amount of money you want to bet on it. If you win, I pay up and publicly apologize for doubting your wisdom. If I win, you pay up and promise to take a course in basic critical thinking, which I will teach for free. Fair enough? C'mon, don't be shy, step right up!
I hereby offer this bet to everyone, and I am not kidding, folks.
Blessings;
Dixon
