Turns out the world did end yesterday, or to be more precise, that today was really still yesterday. The world was shuddering in its death throes and what I was experiencing was a mental illusion of normalcy created by my brain in its last moments to insulate me from the literally mind-numbing horrors of the apocalypse.
"Well that sucks" I admitted. "Just out of curiosity though how is the world ending? Zombies? Galactus? Bird-flu? Zombie Galactus with a bird-flu?"

"Yeah,.. it's still New Year's Eve 1999, man."
"But... it's um, 2012."
"Oh." The bum shrugged. "really? OK then, I guess, uh, I guess carry on then."
