Here are the FACTS: we're all gonna DIE. The world will end and SOON. How, and when, and why... well, that's open to discussion.
This KICKASS site is a promo for a book called "Apocalypse Pretty Soon" (har har -- get it?). Yeah, usually book- or movie-promo sites suck the big apocalyptic wanger, but this one is actually PHUNKY-PHRESH. Why? Because it's chock full of APOCALYPTIC GOODNESS.
Case in point: you can use the fabulous nearest apocalypto-map to locate the nearest weirdo apocalypse cult of your choice. And they take submissions. And it's pretty well written and what the hell just go check it out because I told you so.
