By the way, it WAS news to me. I didn't realize what was gonna happen on May 21. I always believed what Yeshua of Nazareth said in Matthew 24:36: "Ain't nobody knows when the End is comin' 'cept Big Daddy, and he ain't tellin' nobody." (I paraphrased it slightly.)

Personally, I'm expecting Garmr to break loose and then

    Brœðr muno beriaz
    ok at bǫnom verða
    muno systrungar
    sifiom spilla.
    Hart er í heimi,
    hórdómr mikill
    —skeggǫld, skálmǫld
    —skildir ro klofnir—
    vindǫld, vargǫld—
    áðr verǫld steypiz.
    Mun engi maðr
    ǫðrom þyrma.

Especially the part about hórdómr mikill.
