You know, about the world ending and all that?
I think we live in the Iron age (age of irony) and ironic would be a major disaster (earthquake) [B]before[/B] the calculated transition date.
The chances of the world ending are slim to none. Could it happen? Sure. It [B][I]COULD[/I][/B] happen tomorrow. Most of the hype is misinformation.

[quote]Misinterpretation of the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar is the basis for a popular belief that a cataclysm will take place on December 21, 2012. December 21, 2012 is simply the day that the calendar will go to the next b'ak'tun, at Long Count 13.0.0.0.0. The date on which the calendar will go to the next piktun (a complete series of 20 b'ak'tuns), at Long Count 1.0.0.0.0.0, will be on October 13, 4772.[/quote]

Thanks for clearing that up. I'm sure most of us were 100% convinced the earth was going to explode in a couple of weeks. Now, thanks to your post, we no longer have to bear that burden.
I hope not. A woman I work with will be buying me lunch if nothing happens.
I, for one, am relieved. If the world ended, no one would buy my books, or read my witty responses to silly questions, or wonder about how many angels dance on the edge of a pin.

(P.S. The answer is not tree-fiddy).
Time for a party...
Btw, my father was born in Cyprus.....
I'm not. People have been [url=http://www.bible.ca/pre-date-setters.htm]predicting the end of the world for years[/url]. We're still here.
Chicken Little was a very underrated prophet. As was his cousin, the Little Boy Who Cried Wolf.
Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Hope there isn't too much ruckus on the 21st. I got chest/tri's that day.
Damn it. I thought it was the 12th of December and not the 21st.
You know how expensive parking fees are for arks?
I've got to find another 9 bastard days worth now.
Just my luck,
All my Xmas shopping is done.
Usually I wait till 24th.
Unless aliens land on the front lawn of the white house I doubt anythings going to happen.
Hate to break this to you, but the Mayans didn't use leap years. The end of their cyclical calendar is long past.
I'm not a Mayan! :)

Holdin' off my shopping for the 22nd. Srs.. if I was putting my final mortgage payment in the mail on the 20th.. the end of the world would be a slam-dunk for the 21st...

Yes, because all of the other "end of the world" predictions turned out to be so accurate.
