Is it the end of the world as we know it?
Theories
There have been, and still are, countless predictions regarding the end of the world. That is, an abrupt end either to the planet Earth, or the premature demise of just the human race. The most famous of these apocalypses used to be the one outlined in the New Testament book of Revelations. However, as times have changed since Revelations was written, so has the most popular "end of the world" prediction. Today, you cannot pass a novelty store, a t-shirt store, a party store, or even a movie theater without being inundated with "December 2012" merchandise. You see, there is a prediction that the world will end on December 21, 2012. This has garnered so much popularity because it is perhaps one of the most ridiculous "end of the world" predictions (if such a thing can be quantified). People believe that this will be the day the world ends simply because the Mayan calendar, which began on August 13, 3114 B.C.E, comes to an end on this day. Yes, there are tons of other theories that revolve around the Mayan calendar that you can check out

Parties
So as I, and countless college students and 20-somethings, will no doubt say, we need to throw an end of the world party! This is a fantastic idea for two reasons. First, it's a great party theme, especially since popular "end of the world" dates don't come around all too often. And secondly, if for some weird reason the world really does end, what better way is there to go out than surrounded by your friends and family at a killer rager? Oh, that's right, there is no better way. So, you're having your party...you need decorations. I bet you already know where I'm going with this one: you've gotta get your whole party
customized shirts! You can make some super funny shirts, or even some serious ones; it depends on in what you'd like to be fossilized, I suppose. In that same vein, in case it's an ice age we're in for, you should also double up on
custom sweatshirts.
Whether the end is December 21, 2012 or some other day, stock up on your custom clothing from ooshirts so you're ready to party on a minute's notice.
