Ok, so add in the lesser extinction events as well, there's no pattern there either. And the part of the article you quoted:

However, other authors have concluded the data on marine mass extinctions do not fit with the idea that mass extinctions are periodic, or that ecosystems gradually build up to a point at which a mass extinction is inevitable.[4] Many of the proposed correlations have been argued to be spurious.[25][26]

Basically this is saying these "other authors" aren't seeing any pattern either. Anyway, like every one else has said, nothing's going to happen this year. Let's all just sit back and laugh when December 22nd rolls around
