Netherlands, June 23 (UPI) -- Thousands of people in the Netherlands say they expect the world to end in 2012, and many say they are taking precautions to prepare for the apocalypse.
The Dutch-language de Volkskrant newspaper said it spoke to thousands of believers in the impending end of civilization, and while theories on the supposed catastrophe varied, most tied the 2012 date to the end of the Mayan calendar, Radio Netherlands reported Monday.
Good, I offer to buy their earthly posessions in 2013 for a tenth of their value today. They just need to sign an agreement and I will pay them now when they can still enjoy the money.
"They keep letting people in. And then we have to build more houses, which makes the Netherlands even heavier. The country will sink even lower, which will make the flooding worse."
According to a recent Bloomberg article the futures market is collapsing as everyone is selling European options expiring after 2012 but no-one seems inclined to buy them! NOT.

Good question. Perhaps one tries to sell their possessions to someone who doesn't think that the world is ending.
Reminds me of Doug Adam's story The Restaurant at the End of the Universe. The restaurant had skylights which would provide the dinnertime stage show of the skies collapsing in on themselves. Powerful time-travel turbines would pull the restaurant and its patrons back in time to about one hour before the end of the universe, to prepare for the next set of customers.

Wow, spoke to thousands of believers? Either they have a really large staff, this is a really long-term piece they finally completed, or can't decipher hundreds of voices at once.
