I went to the zetatalk site to view their nonsense in person, and I was a little shocked to discover that there were actually norwegians out there who had taken the time to translate a great deal of the site. However, they may not have been updating it lately, since on the page
http://www.zetatalk.com/norwegn/thub.htm
there is a cute little timer reminding us that the apocalyptic polar shift should have occured 1 year - 3 months ago (actually it says Countdown: -1 years 3 months but we have to use some goodwill here. After all, who could know that the timer would still be active today? ;-)
On the parallell page on the main site, the counter has been silently removed and all descriptions changed to "sometime after". Of course...
I wonder about these poor translators. Are they still believers? Will they fall for the next hoax?
They should have looked up on Phil Plait's Bad Astronomy
