That's a good idea - a sure bet that some people will buy that. I just need to weigh my publishing costs against the potential demand.
But what about for all of the people who welcome the end of the world?
I guess, for now, I can start with a Mayan "countdown to end times" calendar.

Well, to save publishing costs you could publish on demand and throw in the calendar for free as a sweetener.

And by scientifically plausible, I mean scientifically tested theories backed by observational realities using strict methodologies that is peer reviewed. Or is it just another one of those shows on the History channel?
Troop, I'm going to jump in here and try to put this whole crazy thing to rest, hopefully, December 21, 2012, is the end of a 500 year cycle on the Mayan calendar and nothing more, the Mayans didn't predict the end of the world and this will be the fifth time that this calendar has ended and began again. On this date of the winter solstice will be the end of the fifth cycle for this calendar and nothing more. There is no scientific evidence that anything of a catastrophic nature is going to happen and if the Mayans were still around to tell you that they would, so can we please stop worrying about this particular day supposedly being the end of the world because it's not going to happen. Not yet anyway.

If the world isn't coming to an end on December 12, 2012, then I got screwed out of $19.99 for my Ronco Crystal Ball.
