You think the candle flames at the dinner will turn into venomous snakes and attack you and your wife?

It's interesting to see how paranoid humans can be, but at the same time kinda sad.
Stupid **** will happen =/

But we'll see how it goes.

Well obviously, jeez. That's number one on the list of ridiculously illogical events set to occur all on the exact same date. After that comes all toads turning into frogs. Then there's the revivification of the dinosaurs, the zombie attack, the hurricane the size of North America, the asteroid the size of New York... oh and don't forget the annihilation of all life on Earth by the Sun, which when aligned with the center of the galaxy will suddenly gain intelligence and a desire to kill things.

I mean anyone who doesn't believe all of that obviously needs phycological help.

oh my...

when the topic "2012" get's brought up, it annoys me. some people will say its true because of the mayan calander. omg. okay

1st- The mayans calander ended buuuut it wasn't because of..whatever you think it is. i'll say it once. THEY RAN OUT OF PAPER! at least that's what i read. sounds funny huh?

2nd- December 21st 2012- nothing. the earth and the sun will come in perfect alignment with the center of the galaxy. may sound scary. but IT HAPPENS EVERY YEAR.

I could have sworn there was already a prediction of when the world would end that came out false.... And if I recall, nothing happened on that day. :p

That's happened hundreds of times. 2012 just happens to get more publicity.

I can never fathom how people can take the 2012 doomsday seriously when:

1) The Mayans believe that life was circular. Not beginning to end
2) The Mayans didn't even predict THEIR OWN demise
I think it'd be funny if the creators of the Mayan calendars had actually predicted their own demise, but left it out of all documentation for the sake of not causing a mass riot among their own people. You know, in the ironic kind of funny...although I think I would still laugh. That'd be too good.

I am hoping something intriguing will actually happen though. I don't care what it is, just something that's out of the ordinary that'll make me say "****, so I guess I was wrong. It wasn't completely a fluke." An eternal storm would be pretty cool. You know, like the one on Jupiter...only not that big. ._.

Catastrophes rarely happen when planned.

Except for political elections.
This.

Then again, some people will go insane. Just because they'll use 2012 as a reason to do misdeeds.


And as for me, I just wait for it. I'm quite curious as of how people will react. 'Cause 2012 DOES seem to be more 'hyped' than any other prophecies so far. Oh and I don't really want to live too long. Because I know I'll mess my future. :p

Sakurai will make the Apocalypse trip, we're safe, no worries. :)
This made me lol so much.


6/6/06 they said the same thing about planets all aline its alot of bull because 2012 "story" is that the sun will have some weird going on to it but guess what you ask someone from a planetarium they said its a load of bull because they can't track the suns patterens
6/6/06 was the day we got out of school my freshman year. I remember someone in my last class saying that it'll be raining blood when we get outside.
It didn't. Was super sunny and I went to go see the new Scary Movie with my friends.


Interesting fact:

December 21st, 2012 will be my six-year wedding anniversary.
Reminds me of how I'll be 21 on 2/11/12


They aliens didn't come lsat year, so why would we die in 2012?
I never heard that one.
Then again the only other "prophecy" that I know of is the 2000 one.

Ah, yes, Neil deGrasse Tyson. I like that guy. He's pretty funny. And he dumbs down astrophysics so I can understand, as well as entertains notions of killer asteroid deflection methods.
yes. i watched that video (About the astroid deflection). i actually enjoyed it and found it interesting. most of the science videos i watch bore me. except bill nye. he breaks down science for kids to understand it the easy way.

♥ My post count is my age. Deal with it.
It's going to end up more people panicing and wasting billions of dollars and people doing the craziest stuff.

The pre-event is going to be worse from over-hyped newscasting something similar to the large hydron collider but on a much larger scale. Lol.

The event won't even happen.

Where are you getting those numbers? I'd like to say that the world will end on December 12, 2012 at 9.35 Am (Mountain Time) because he likes to finish his work when the morning is nice and crisp. Rest assured, if that ever happened you'd probably be asleep and not the wiser.

Bah... The Mayan calendar should not mean the end of the world.

If the world will end then I will already rule the world through mind-control and The Eye climb atop the highest mountain in Oman and watch the show before my end comes.

Think of this like the Y2K bug, which people feared that their computers or anything electronic would suddenly stop. Or June 6, 2006, which is 06/06/06 being the last day of earth. I don't think this'll be any different. I think the people who made that calendar ran out of room. :laugh:

That's basically what I'm afraid of...

Oh, and regarding the actual date, various sources seem to say it's either 21st or 23rd December. More proof of how it's a load of rubbish since they can't even decide on a single date.

I suggest buying all the supplies you can and empty all supermarkets
That's a large part of the problem of what's going to happen.
I think some terrible things will happen on that day, and it won't be because the worlds ending, it'll be because people are morons.

Thank goodness! It's a relief to hear that terrible things happen only because the world is ending!

Really, who cares if the world ends? I mean, all those people who say "oh cool! I have one day left on Earth! That means no consequences!" Are usually the ones who will be sitting on their front stoop or porch and cry. I know I would.

We could get Ally to mm the apocalypse when it's 2012. After all, EVERYONE says he's inhuman. :rolleyes:


It's unbelievable, the hype this "apocalypse" brings... USA's going to be Dec 23 2012, 5-9 hours after Greenwich time (depending on your localization). Does that mean that USA will end by losing 1/4 of its land mass every hour? What happens if we circle the world in the opposite direction and get to the first part that ended, what will we find? Nothing makes sense! The most that will happen is people will make a movie about it, and it will come out in Dec 23 2012.


PS: The Large Hadron Collider is scarier than any imaginary doomsday date. A single random strangelet (if they are proven to exist) produced from the collision of particles could very well mean the end of the whole planet. And... Physics is so awesome.

I'd prepare for the day(s) before the "proposed" date of destruction of the world.

Choices include:

1) Plan place to go to where no one knows about the 2012 event.
2) Go a week before the event and come back about a week or two after the date (a week if people aren't so crazy, two weeks if people are going nuts)
3) Plan it so that you aren't in a city, localized area, or place where people are most likely to go crazy.
4) Check the news constantly to check on the physchological stages of mass amount of people.
5) Check where it would be safe to go back to.
6) Plan to make "I survived Dec. 21 (or 23) 2012" t-shirts/
....

OK, so there's this apparent 'prophecy' that the world will end on 23rd December 2012, IIRC it's because that's when the Mayan calendar ends. Obviously that's a load of horse manure, but perhaps this supposed 'prophecy' could cause suffering in the future?

Think about it. There are people out there who actually believe that stuff, right? Well, who's to say that they won't end up committing atrocities involving murder and terrorism on that day? From their point of view, it would simply be bringing about the inevitable earlier, or 'fufilling the prophecy' or something like that? Could this potentially even spread to the biggest mass genocide since the Holocaust? It may seem unlikely, but I wouldn't say it's impossible.

Basically what I'm saying is, although it almost certainly won't be the end of the world, perhaps people who believe that it will be will try to bring about the destruction themselves, killing people in the process. Should we prepare for this possibility?

Whether you waqnt to admit it or not, if people bring about the end of the wrold, it's still fulfilling this said prophecy. The end of the world is the end of the world, so to speak. No matter the reason.

Considering that December 23, 2012 is only three years away and we have no evidence whatsoever pointing towards some kind of natural disaster (such as the moon crashing into the earth) that day, one can safely assume that the only demise of civilization would be an internal conflict between ourselves, which is also highly unlikely given the current situation of people simply not caring about such event and also the fact that governments won't be not willing to stop such violent acts on that day. Aside from that, I don't know what would motivate such an immense population of people to act on such terms when most people are clearly aware that there are consequences for such actions and without the actual "prophecy" fulfilling itself from people drawing such violence themselves, they would be punished for it. I wouldn't doubt seeing riots and the such happening during that time frame, but for such a huge collective of people fighting for no reason, to the point where government control would collapse...? Not very likely.

Ya know, the thought lengers in the back of my mind, but then I sit and think and then logic and science trumps that crap.

Cracked.com did a nice article on the crap which explained why people think this way....but I don't have a link. Go look for it yourself.

Really, the most I'm worried about is the general insanity that'll happen. It probably would give a boost to the economy....people will clear the shelves of stores and I wouldn't be suprised if some killed themselves. I'll have to make a mental reminder to lock myself up that day, so I don't have to face that chaos.

Then again, probably nothing will happen and people will go hey, end of the world. Big deal.

I'm going to lock myself in a basement in case serial killers decide to go hunting on that day to "save people" from their punishment or some crazy ****.

/people really are that crazy
