So *what's* supposed to happen in 2012 again????

[redgtxdi]

So, what I found on my own is something about Planet X/Nibiru in 2012 & fire's gonna rain down or some crap.

Some seer named Mother Shipton, Nostradamus & whoever else thinks something's goin' down in 2012......I dunno.


Oh, the gal at work was talkin' somethin' about John, Ezekiel & the Samarians in the Bible too.




Figured this one would be GGGGGgggrrrrrEEEEAAAAaaaaat for ATOT!!!!!

I think it's 2014, but yeah, my guess is the sun will rise in the East, and set on the West side. Slight wind, humidity would be around 74%, partly cloudy.

so sometime in 2012, one of you is going to say "nyah nyah nyah nyah nyaaaah"?

IIRC, the Mayan calendar runs out. Of course, they died off in the 900's, so I don't see how anyone with more than a tablespoon of brains could put much stock in their predictive abilities.

I was told there's other speculation based on planetary alignment, etc, to support that theory.

Well, it's not just that their calendar ends then, it's actually when they predicted the world will end. Dec 23, 2012.

I know a friends parents who are kinda weird Germans who are Christians but live a Jewish liftstyle and they mentioned something about each millenium of our history correlating to one "day" of earths creation and that if there were 5,000 years before Christ and 2,000 afterwords then he comes back around then. The extra 12 years is accounted for by adding up the times when God stopped time in the Old Testament.

I'll probably be out finishing some late Christmas shopping.

I don't recall that, but since planets align periodically, and the mayans didn't even have paper. They had to stop writing down future dates at some point.

They all figured, "Oh screw it, the world is doomed anyway. Let's all get high until the apocalypse!!!"
So everyone was too high to do anything like grow food, so they all starved, which sucked, because they all had serious cases of the munchies. Which they quickly forgot in favor of getting high again.

Because their predictive abilities enabled them to predict lunar and solar eclipses long before the Europeans figured out that the earth went around the Sun. Given the instruments available to them, they were incredible astronomers.

edit: Note - the Mayans did NOT predict that the world ends in 2012. In fact, one of the Mayan rulers believed that his accession would be rememberd in 4772 AD (by our calendar) Dec 23, 2012 is when their calendar will turn over all zeros. (btw, the Mayans figured out "zero" centuries before the rest of the world.) 2012 begins the 5th Mayan cycle; we're nearing the end of the 4th cycle by their calendar.

2012 ends the next "age" which refers to some astrology stuff IIRC.

Wombats and Tasmanian devils amass an army and prepare for war against humanity. Realizing they are on an island, they delay their plans to build a navy.

It's based on so far their calendar has been accurate. No one is sure if they decided to stop writing it or they knew there was an end.

2012 is probably the most significant of the end of world myths.

LoL... 2012 will come and nothing will happen, and all the zealots will breed some other excuse of misinterpretation and come up with another "End of the World, repent now" date so they place a strangle hold on the stupids for another age.

I found it more ridiculous that computer "experts" were predicting catastrophe. But the entire concept of predicting the future is pretty stupid anyway.
Oh, and I thought Pat Robertson was predicting the 2nd coming for that year IIRC.

I don't buy into anything that is 'predicted', there are too many variables. Hell we could go nuclear tonight and wake up to a freaking nuclear winter tomorrow.

Not all Christians, not even a majority thought Christ was coming in 2000.

The prediction computer 'experts' had on 2000 was not the end of the world. Also most of the things were able to be patched. Being that I am at ground zero on these effects, they are not small tasks. Even the latest time zone/daylight savings change took major planning.

When you are trusting systems to do the work of a person and a mistake can be measured in millions of dollars and with that it's 'clock' is based on computer time/date; it becomes daunting.

Also in there are many logical 2012 sites (and other end of world ones) there are also a lot of totally off the wall / tin foil beanie time ones. This can be said about anything though.

2012 IMHO has been the longest running and biggest buy in to end of world myths. Until it happens it's really no more disputable than Jesus being God or that even God(s) exist.

Considering the Mayans couldn't predict the end of their own civilization, I wouldn't put much stock into their supposed end of the world prediction (they really just got tired of writing such a huge calendar,had to leave it off somewhere, that 's union work for ya)

You must not be a scientist.

Predicting say a huge ass asteroid will hit earth vs Joe Maskedman coming into my home and stabbing me to death are two different things.
