P.I.D. Radio 1/21/11: Betelgeuse! Betelgeuse! Betelgeuse!
INTERNET DOOM seekers have picked up on a story from Australia about the red supergiant star Betelgeuse and spun it into a dire warning of impending destruction in 2012.

Personally, we're more concerned with the threat posed by the Green Bay Packers' offense.
Also: Yellowstone caldera bulges; Dubai islands for the rich sink; and Judge John Roll died a hero.
