P-Cubed Episode 3: Four Horses of the (Mayan) Apocalypse
Ever consider building a nuclear reactor out of a banana? Yes? Excellent! Come join us to talk about other ways you can bring upon your own apocalypse. This coming winter solstice (21st December 2012) is Happy New Year for the Mayan Long Count Calender. We discuss some of the social anxiety that surrounds the media driven mass hysteria relating to this event.
