Extremely NOT FUNNY Mayan apocalypse news
This from Chile, via an Australian online newspaper: THREE members of an alleged cult accused of sacrificing a baby to save the world ahead of a Mayan apocalypse, have surrendered to police. Police in Chile were still hunting for the alleged leader of the cult who is believed to have fled to Peru, after the baby’s mother and three other suspects were arrested on Friday. The baby was...

Tom Perrotta's post-rapture novel, "The...
