The increasingly small world of knowing makes it easier to tie these random unrelated events together to conspirational-linked events.

The increase in off-the-cuff "answers" by instant experts who read on the innernets are causing quick conclusions such as the end of the world, alien probes, guvmint conspiracies, and Bush did it.

We've been living in the "end times" for almost 2000 years.

Early Christians expected the "second coming" in their lifetimes, based on a passage in the gospel of John where Jesus hinted that his "beloved disciple" would not die until he returned.

There was another flurry of end times predictions at the end of the first millenium.
