I remember someone once telling me that the "Fifth Age" of the world was coming in a few years (can't remember the exact year) and that Plato had written about some seccret documents that were already hidden and sealed by his time in the left foot of the Sphinx. Supposedly, at the beginning of the fifth age their going to open it (and yes he even had the odassity to say that the Egyptian government and many other world goverments all bought this and were willing the deface the Sphinx for it) and then we can all read what was hidden there. Maybe those documents can tell us when the world will end.

I see potential in both of those, but no dates is a bit annoying. Have to wait for ratzinger and successor to die in one, or a rather extreme change of regime in the other. Harder to keep people's attention when it gets that vague. Still, good stuff.
