Nemesis, Planet X or not...there is some plausability to extinctions being cyclic. Our galaxy is also in a large orbit as a whole.

In all seriousness, the plausibility for an "anti-matter planet" that might currently exist in sub space that suddenly appears in our solar system to suck local matter into a quasi black hole is real. We are doomed!

...also we'd be able to see something that big coming if it were to hit by 2012 ;)

Well if it were to hit in 2012, I am sure we would have some knowledge prior...but how long prior. Things in space move at a pretty fast clip. Many things already out that that we know about we can only observe indirectly.

I got a light year to get to the phone now
I'm gonna contact you when I get home

Give it all you got, give it all to me
Come on mammy and throw me that whammy
I said, "Give it all you got, give it all to me"
Come on mammy, throw me that whammy

And now I know I need that whammy kiss
Whatever you do, I'm just passing the time
To get to you to pass the time with you

He cannot stand to go into work
When he needs some whammy love
Whammy!

You gotta do it right, use it right now
I ain't foolin', give me a refuelin'
Yeah, whammy kiss me, whammy hug
Come on mammy, throw me that whammy

Stop worrying about Planet X, and start worrying about the solar maximum predicted for November 2012. If 2012 will have a doomsday event, it will be that.

What's solar maximum?

The opposite of a solar minimum.

Planet X is actually the Technodrome, which I believe is still stuck in Dimension X.

Relax everyone. We still have three years to find all those crystal skulls that are supposed to save us.

If saving the world in any way involves Shia LaBeouf helping I say fuck it...let the world end.

Just isn't worth it if that douche has to be part of the deal.
