It's that time of the year again ladies and gents! You better whip out your calendar and put a BIG circle around the month of October for 2017. That's right, the whole month, not just a specific date. Why? Because that's when the world is supposed to end! With an event that big, it wouldn't be fair of me to let you make plans, only to have them end in fire and disappointment.

In case you don't know what Nibiru is, it's a hulking planet (controlled by humanoid aliens) that's been thrown from the edge of our universe and is heading straight towards us. Once it has completely obliterated Earth, it will turn right around and go back to wherever it came from. This strange orbit pattern is supposed to happen every 3,600 years, but for whatever reason, it has missed us (Earth) the past two times.

It was supposed to hit us back in 1995, but I guess the aliens that live on Nibiru had bad directions or something because they never showed up.

Fast forward to 2012, Nibiru and its inhabitants were supposed to show up again and take us out. Now, I know what you're thinking, "if Nibiru is supposed to come around every 3,600 years, why was it supposed to come back in 2012?" The only thing that I can chalk it up to, is that maybe the aliens on Nibiru had a very bad education system and none of them are very good at math. Which quite possibly explains why they missed us back in 1995.

Of course, there are naysayers chiming in, claiming that Nibiru isn't real at all. For example, take astrophysicist David Morrison. He's a Nibiru consultant for NASA, and he says that if Nibiru existed, we would have pictures. Not only that, but we would all be able to see the planet with our own eyes (telescope not required) if it was actually hurtling towards Earth in order to destroy us all. If that's still not enough, if Nibiru existed, the planet's existence and strange orbital pattern would alter those of ours (again, Earth's) and Mars. Earth's moon would be a problem too. If this planet really was trying to take us out, then it's gravitational pull would completely tear the moon apart.

I don't know about you, but I think I'll listen to David Morrison, the astrophysicist, instead of the crazy cat lady down the street. That's just me of course. If you want, you can have blind faith (literally since no pictures or proof of Nibiru exist) that the world is going to end in October, then be my guest.

After all, if it missed us in 1995, and then it missed us again in 2012, maybe the fictional planet will actually hit us this time around in 2017.

After all, third time's the charm, right?
