NASA has thrown water to the theory.
On their website they even offer a rational answer to one of my favorite doubts on the Mayan calendar. The expiry date is on the calendar – not the world!

The Road
The Road by Cormac McCarthy
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
An unusual narrative. McCarthy imagines a dull and desolate world - post apocalypse. A father whose only purpose in life is to keep the fire burning in his son. A son who is still young enough to have innocence and a sense of right and wrong. The two travel through burnt down towns and landscapes of ash. They are lucky at times in their journey across the country in search of humanity. That luck is however only relative as they deal with hunger,illness and other perils constantly. The inner eye can only see grey while reading this book. There the author succeeds in his depiction of the apocalyptic world. Again, an unusual narrative - dialogs seem like monologues some times. The small strand of hope that binds the story is present but I became aware of its presence only after finishing the book.
It appears to be an impossible novel to make a movie out of. However, that is what Viggo Mortensen and friends have tried. Not sure if I will watch that one.

Counterintuitive
I am trying hard to use "Counterintuitive" somewhere in my daily verbiage.
This is the best I could come up with.
Wifey's expectation that I put back the toilet seat as a courtesy is counterintuitive because she never leaves it up. Again, as a courtesy.

Motorola Droid ignites killer talks

My thoughts:
1. Droid seems more of a clone than a killer.
2, Why isn’t Blackberry in the mix?
