If you’ve been hiding under a rock — excluding big slabs of stone with the Mayan Calendar carved into them — then you might want to put your coffee down. The world is going to end or may have ended on Friday, depending on when you’re reading this. Don’t worry, though, it’s probably just another Y2K/rapture/dark day type of thing. If you hit the blogo- sphere, there’s a plethora of literature about Friday’s apocalypse to be read, including a second-by-second countdown and information on possible forms the apocalypse could take. Honestly, though, why would you want to waste your last hours on earth surﬁ ng the internet? Grab your loved ones and hold them close — it maybe probably won’t be the last embrace you ever share. The world ends at 11:11am GMT Friday, Dec. 21. See ’ya. 22 December 20, 2012 • eugeneweekly.com Pool Hall continues. See Thursday, Dec. 20.
