Author Selects Survival Spot for 2012

Lawrence Joseph, author of Apocalypse 2012: A Scientific Investigation Into Civilization's End, says that Jerusalem, Angkor Wat, the Vatican and Mecca might be natural choices but, no, "of all the sacred sites in the world, none embodies the sacred Mayan values of service to humanity and Mother Earth like the town of Berea, Kentucky."

On the face of it, sounds a little bit suspect! (full story here). Two things stand out about this town:

1) It is named after a biblical town where the people “received the Word with all readiness of mind.”
2) It is a dry town - no alcohol

I can't see any scientific reason why it should be the best place on Earth to build your bunker.
