Dear Pat,

Concerning your question on "2003", unfortunately, I have a little to add. I heard about possible cataclysms and even "the End of the World" at around 2003 about several years ago from Russian "yellow" mass-media. As I recall, it quoted some astrology-like or even occult-like sources. There were also some scientific-oriented comments that the year 2003 is right after the peak of solar activity, which is predicted to be extremely large. I don't remember details, but I just remember the date "about 2003".

Poka!
