None of this nonsense fazes me anymore. When I was much younger, I'd read this stuff too and consider it carefully, these days I simply ignore it.

Consider that there are countless nuts all over the world who make "predictions" like these, and of them perhaps 0.0000001% make any that could remotely be construed as actual. Nostradaemus (sp?) is another individual who many have "forced" events to fit with his writings, attempting to lend credence to them.

After about the 10th or 20th or 100th one of these things that you read, you'll eventually get over it, so I wouldn't worry about it.
