<div>With yet another apocalypse approaching, this time &#8220;predicted&#8221; by the end of the Mayan calender on Dec. 21, 2012, people over the world preparing for doomsday.</div>
<div>Join me at my End of the World party, tomorrow. Programme enclosed #Mayans #apocalypse http://twitpic.com/bno8tnDiana Issidorides</div>
<div>Since the world ends tomorrow, let me list all my grievances &amp; desires now. First, I&#8217;ve always wanted to&#8230;darn, out of characters. #mayansDavid Aldridge</div>
<div>2013? Ain&#8217;t nobody got time for that. #mayansWorkingBarbie </div>

<div>The approaching end was trending on Twitter all day, where crazy predictions and silly confessions were the norm online.</div>
<div>If tonight&#8217;s headlines read &quot;Bobcats snap 11 game losing streak with W over the Lakers&quot; world might be ending sooner than we think #MayansSerena Winters</div>
<div>I farted on a plane once and it was so bad the people around me started coughing and I pretended I was asleep. #EndOfTheWorldConfessionsFrankie James Grande</div>
<div>&quot;There was some salad dressing in the back of my fridge and the sell by date was 21/12/12. I think it was Mayannaise.&quot; omg hahahahah #mayansJoey</div>
<div>Well, the Apocalypse is here and it&#8217;s just as I envisioned: me sitting alone eating cereal and watching Christmas With the Kranks #MayansDan Milbrand</div>
<div>#EndOfTheWorldConfessions: The end of the world is real&#8230; Just look at what&#8217;s happening in Australia right now http://twitpic.com/bnqwouDimplesAreAttractive</div>
<div>And when midnight struck for those in Asia and Oceania, there was little change in the world.</div>
<div>New Zealand right now it&#8217;s Friday 21st December.   Guess what? The world is still in one piece!   Sorry doom-mongers you were wrong #MayansNik &amp; Eva Speakman</div>
<div>BREAKING NEWS: New Zealand is fine, so far.  #Mayans http://pic.twitter.com/oz8k2y4tEric Alper</div>
