If you happen to be morbidly fatalistic or just want an excuse to party, it would be “Eat, drink, and be merry. For tomorrow we die.” Come to think of it, while I’m sure the world won’t end in 2012, why not have a seriously big ass “End of The World” party and laugh at the strange people that thought it would. Barbecues are always great ideas anyway (at least in Florida). Since it was his invention, Prometheus would agree. Or at least according to Aristophanes (Birds) he would agree.

About Bad Astronomy
Phil Plait, the creator of Bad Astronomy, is an astronomer, lecturer, and author. After ten years working on Hubble Space Telescope and six more working on astronomy education, he struck out on his own as a writer. He's written two books, dozens of magazine articles, and 12 bazillion blog articles. He is a skeptic and fights the abuse of science, but his true love is praising the wonders of real science.
The original BA site (with the Moon Hoax debunking, movie reviews, and all that) can be found here.

"If things worked the way I wanted them to, any reporter about to do another 'sensational' story on deadly meteors would consult this volume, and bang! common sense would find its way into the news. How strange would that world be?" -- Adam Savage, Mythbusters
"Reading this book is like getting punched in the face by Carl Sagan. Frightening, but oddly exhilarating." -- Daniel H. Wilson, author of How to Survive a Robot Uprising
