    Some individuals have long speculated about the end of the world through various doomsday predictions, though none have come true. In the 1950s, a Chicago woman named Dorothy Martin and her followers called "Seekers" believed that aliens would soon flood the Earth and save the group. On Christmas Day 1955, Martin announced that God was impressed by their devotion and would no longer destroy the planet. More recently, some have cited the end of the long Mayan calendar cycle on December 21, 2012 as evidence the world will end, though as with past predictions, the date passed without incident.

    Doomsday: Alive and Kicking

    Masses of individuals have forebodings about the end of the


    world in view of the fact that it indicates the termination of everything.
    How and when this would exactly happen remain debatable, but there
    has never been a scarcity of speculations on what could possibly
    unravel.
    Sporadically, someone comes out with a new doomsday
    prophecy. But whether the supposed agent of destruction is aliens,
    asteroids, floods or earthquakes, the aftermath is unfailingly the same
    the world manages to ride out.
    In December 1954, the Chicago Tribune ran a short item about a
    Michigan doctor who foresaw the end of the world: Doctor Warns of
    Disasters in World Tuesday Worst to Come in 1955 He Declares.
    The medical practitioner, fortuitously named Charles Laughead,
    was a follower of Dorothy Martin, a 54-year-old homemaker from
    Chicago, who be of opinion that aliens from the planet Clarion had
    beamed down messages informing her that a massive flood would
    soon knock down the planet.
    Her wild prognostications allured a small group of followers
    known as the "Seekers," many of whom had quit their jobs and sold
    their belongings in anticipation of the end. They convened at Martin's
    home on Christmas Eve, 1955, chanting Christmas carols while
    they hold one's horses to be saved by the aliens in their flying saucers.
    As the night wore on, the Seekers were on edge. In the long run,
    at 4:45 a.m. on Christmas Day, Martin divulged that God had been so
    impressed by their actions that he would no longer destroy the Globe.
    Earth's billions of inhabitants are heedless that the planet has an
    expiration date. The 2009 movie, 2012, delivers what it promises
    doomsday. The motion picture showcases apocalyptic eye candy, with
    enough death and destruction to bring up the question, "What's so bad
    about 2012?" It hinges upon who you ask.
    Amidst a euphoric Friday morning, the latest doom-laden craze
    places Earths final day on December 21, 2012 the end of the
    Almanac.
    The agitation is based on the way some folks interpret the Mayan
    Long Count Calendar, which is split up into Great Cycles lasting
    approximately 5,125 years. One of these patterns ends on the said

    day, giving some doomsdayers the ammunition they need to publicize


    the impending catastrophe.
    Drowned in apocalyptic floods, walloped by a secret planet,
    seared by an angry sun, or thrown overboard by speeding continents
    will humankind really meet its end?
