Synopsis

Neville Chambers' new book Unlocking the Itzamna Code predicts ArMEGAddon in the year 2012 at the end of the Mayan calender when a rouge planet will crash into the Earth. Action 9 News conduct a joint-interview Mr Chambers, Vivian Mangrove (Assistant Professor of Astronomy at the University of Spuzzum) and Pollux Procyon (Mark Dawson's Astrologer). Dr Mangrove points out that no rogue planets have been seen and that there are plenty of other, more likely ways for the heavens to kill us all. However Neville seems to be preoccupied by his impending divorce.
