Ok Mark, point taken. Though as I probably did point out, further research apparently did suggest this to be less of an end of the world doomsaying as an end to a calendar cycle but be that as it may.

With reference to the blood sacrifice, that was quite common in both Britain and Germany too, from the early neolithic to late iron age. Recent discoveries made with the aid of the British Museum has uncovered a great deal of evidence of our early ancestors resorting to human sacrifice in times of drought, famine and at the occurrence of celestial phenomena such as comets appearing in the sky.

Faulty science, as you refer to it is after all only faulty by modern standards, more or less since what is referred to as the age of enlightenment and some factions (with growing numbers I believe) appear quite inclined to turn the clocks back a few centuries even as I write this. We both mentioned certain doomsday theories, be they from evangelical Christians or other people with a rather odd outlook on the world.

Oh, well, would love to chat but I must be on my way, need some changes made to our bank account (the bastards recently decided that I can now only withdraw money from THEIR cash machines or the Post Office, at least free of charge, by Jove, are they in for a surprise today.).

Let's go banker bashing. LOL

I think I am rather going to enjoy this appointment.
