Oh and this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Vj8-_jhFAA&feature=player_embedded
Mother slit the throats and wrists of both herself and her 2 daughters to spare them from the end of the world.

And so it begins.

And more: http://www.nation.co.ke/News/Man+found+dead+in+church+on+doomsday+/-/1056/1166930/-/hvpqpfz/-/

It's not the apocalypse that does it, it's the mass hysteria of the whole thing.
I hate days like this..

I still got 2 hours.

Well, this is anti-climatic. Oh well, at least I can still end the world myself.

So, a mother killed herself and her kids to save them from the end?

Wow. I don't know if I should feel sad or pissed off.

Also, apparantly 100km winds are going to hit S.A

Both. This sort of thing is actually quite common with end of the world shit. Remember the LHC stupidity a year or 2 ago when some moron who didn't understand physics said it would end the world? There were suicides then as well IIRC.

I've never understood the idea of killing yourself to escape the end of the world.  "Ha, you can't kill me if I kill myself first"?  That is the definition of irrational fear, right there.

It's been the same old thing over and over since the turn of the millennium, which was the first major apocalypse event I was ever aware of.  I don't even feel like making fun of it anymore.

I am happy to note that I haven't met a single person who actually believes in this one, only heard about them.

Edit:

I think they operate on the assumption that they are facing a less pleasant death experience, which is best avoided.

I know this is going to make me seem like a huge arsehole, but if they truly believe that whole "OMGZ, ENDTIMES! I MUST KILL SELF SO DEY CANT KILL ME11" maybe the world is better off without them.

Yeah, it's the kids in that situation I feel sorry for.
