      People are often predicting the world will end on a particular day. This particular date originated with the Mayans who believed that another planet (called Nibiru) was going to collide with the Earth and destroy it. It’s interesting to note they originally predicted that this would happen in 2003, but when nothing happened they changed the data to 2012!
      I wouldn’t believe these predictions!

      Poor predictions and legends.
      All a load of old nonsense in my opinion. A mate of mine said it was going to end. I said I’d give him £10 for his car seeing as he wouldn’t need it….. he didn’t sell it to me…. he’s still driving it.
