12 21 '12, if you add the numbers, yields 333...and since this occurs in the second millenium you double it for 666. Convincing!

I better not die on my birthday. THAT WOULD ROYALLY SUCK!

edit: WAIT? Is it the 12th or the 21st? You have the 12th in the topic and the 21st in the poll question.

I believe in the whole 12/12/12 thing. I'm going to do the same thing I did before Y2K...go around convincing the weak minded that it's going to be the end of the world. Then go home, get drunk, and laugh about it

Stop it!!! Your inducing flashbacks to a bad vacation where the guys in the next room played quarters until 5am. Every time someone sank a quarter "DUUUUDE" would fill the air, hour after frickin hour.

What do you think?

You've excluded the 95+% of sane population who understands that the world has been around for four and a half *billion* years and that it's not gonna end in the next three.

Well lets make sure first, did the Mayans circle "End of the World" on their calendar for that day?

Or did they just create a calendar thousands of years into the future and get to that date in 2012 and just say "that's good enough for now, fuck it?"

lol na that's what I thought but read up on it. Basically on that day the earth is supposed to line up with the sun and line up with the center of our galaxy and since our galaxy, and every known galaxy has a black hole in the center of it, it will cause the poles to shift and massive change in magnetic fields causing massive weather changes/earthquakes/floods/eruptions and all other dandy stuff to cause mass extinction. All I know is that I hope we have huge parties and fuck like monkeys on that day or day before.

That's possibly the stupidest f---ing thing I've ever heard.

Well some believe the world end completely and some think the world as we know it. To me its all the same. If the world ends as we know it or just ends, does not matter if we are died. :laugh:

The world will end when there's finally an ATOT thread so stupid that the earth commits suicide to protect the rest of the universe from withnessing it. We're getting closer and closer, it'll happen before 2012.
