I would not be surprised if there are a few of these people that kill themselves on May 22nd. It's really quite sad that people are so quick to jump into end times cults and proclaim the date the world ends. This is, however, an epic display of the power of stupidity within the human race. I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
