I've been doing some research (to sate my lust for knowledge), and it would seem that the universe will have it in for this world in the year 2012.

The Mayans, the Christians, the Hindus, all with different scenarios, including but not limited to, a zombie invasion (of which I am MORE than prepared :p).

Nevertheless, seeing all these prophesies falling exactly on the same time is a tad disheartening. Then again, there have been many prophesies that have not come true, and other "proven" prophesies that are too vague (i.e. Nostradamus). And to be honest...if the Mayans were so good at predicting the future, do you really think they'd let themselves get wiped out?

Well, I'm telling you right now, on the stroke of New Year 2013 (IF IT HAPPENS!!!), I'll be having a nice long laugh.

What do you guys think?

I think we will just have to wait and see.

I'll be leaving the cities... any city... anywhere... in 2011. With tentative plans to return in 2013.

A sabbatical.

Have you taken into account the years that were ommited from the timeline due to some drunk Monks ack in the day?

One would think the millennium shift would have taught people something...

Scheduled in advance, or are you going to just...dissapear?

As far as the Mayans are concerned, didn't they just make a mention of the end of the world, but not many specifics? I always thought that it might not necessarily reference the end and destruction of mankind, but more of a great change that is to occur or something. Not that I actually believe anything would happen mind you.

One would think the millennium shift would have taught people something...

That's what I was thinking. Everyone thought that Y2K was the end of us. And in the end it was very...underwhelming...

Nevertheless, I'll be wearing a "The End is Nigh!" t-shirt at the news years party, just to be funny.

I hope it happens. This world has lasted long enough.

If the apoclaypse theory was zombies, at first it sounds cool. Living on your wits with a beautiful girl in one arm and a shotgun in the other, fending off the ranks of undead. But as I watched "War of the World" i realized hmm if that happened I probably would be one of the first to die.

That's what I was thinking. Everyone thought that Y2K was the end of us. And in the end it was very...underwhelming.

I wasn't just referring to that. Any cult with some standing, and this includes the major religions, had their own "prophecies" about what was to happen. And the closest anyone got? J.Lo, in her "Waiting for tonight" music video.

If I recall correctly, and it's possible I'm thinking of something else, part of the problem that they had was that they foretold the arrival of the Spaniards, that their arrival fulfilled a prophecy of some kind and so they just let them in, in which case it would lend creadence rather than doubt.

But really, use doubt. The world isn't going to end because of a tick of the calender. Solar flare, massive meteor, hubris, maybe-but calender, no. And you won't need a quatran to predict it, but a telescope or watching world trends or something like that.

Massive earthquakes. For ten years straight.

Studying end-time legends used to be a hobby of mine.

Ah, nevermind then. I should catch up on my apocalyptic literature then. :)

Wouldn't happen to have any suggestions would you?

Wesa gon die.

...either that, or we'll have a lot more pissed off people with pointless generators and six months worth of non-perishable food in their basements.

Hey, if the nukes haven't done us in after 50 years of sitting in their silos, I don't think we have much to worry about.

It's true what you're saying about stelar disasters. I've heard that we couldn't be able to detect an asteroid until 10 seconds before impact.

Lets see...5...4...3...2...1...nope, still here.

The Mayans, the Christians, the Hindus,

The Christian one was predicted by Newton. Interestingly, Nostradamus predicted the birth of Jesus in 1999 (if read in a certain way), so shit should start happening as Jesus hits thirteen. Which might spoil his teenage years.

What's the Hindu one? I never heard of it before.

It isnt the first time the world's been predicted to end.

They've only been wrong 100% of the time so far.

The apocalpse of 2012 will be the result of teen Jesus listening to Linkin Park.

hmmm.............someone once told me that the world would end on December 21, 2012..............That's my birthday, so it sounds about right :(

Oh well, I am going to have a big party in 2011 to make up for it :D

All I can remember about the Hindu one was that it mentioned the universe going through a cycle of creations and destructions, and that after a so many millions of years, everything would go back to the primordial state it was in at the beginning.

EVERYBODY has that in Florida. Except we don't have basements, the aquafer, you know. We all have a garage full of plywood too. Then we have the most active hurricane season in recorded history, and who gets nailed? New Orleans. Being prepared is bullshit.

It isnt the first time the world's been predicted to end.

Hey, the dinosaurs had millions and millions of years to evolve...we've had maybe a couple hundred thousand...

We ain't ready to die out yet! Wait until we're omnipresent, super-intelligent man-spirits, then we'll go in peace.

The apocalpse of 2012 will be the result of teen Jesus listening to Linkin Park.

I can see his father pulling the plug on the entire thing when that happens.

I just got a chill through my spine. Seriously, emo Jesus. Im gonna throw up.

I hope I have my own secret country in 2012. That way, I can hack into Iran's nuke system and watch the fireworks fly.

One would think the millennium shift would have taught people something...
Which Millenium are you talking about the Y2K one or the real one?....

whoever REALLY came up with 2012 was just looking to prolong this millinial silliness. the real date of converging prophasies was 1844 and in 1844, for what its worth, and the jury is still out as to just what it is/was worth, they really and truely were, to the extent their ambiguous aligories actualy pointed to anything, fullfilled.

that was the year that really was pointed to by all those prophasies.

and callanders don't 'end'. their cycles of all cycles just start over again at zero.

something terrible did begin in 2000 we're a long way from seeing the end of, and that was of course, the neo-con power grab for world dictatorship. how that one will end any how many of us will be arround to see it is anybody's guess too.

will 2012 be the year the dollar collapses? that will be a sigh of releaf, a tear and a giggle. if and when. or oil will have already become impractical.

i don't know and i'm not going to pretend that i do.

but i do know we live in a very large universe full of lots of things NO ONE knows diddly about. and like diversity, which is the one true nature of reality itself, none of it is ever all one way. any one way.

I just got a chill through my spine. Seriously, emo Jesus. Im gonna throw up.

I gotta remember that. "Emo-Jesus" makes great material.

I gotta remember that. "Emo-Jesus" makes great material.
Im catholic so hopefully I will forget the image I pictured when I thought of that:
Jesus sitting in a dark room with His hair died an "emo black" in tight pants writing poetry while checking out a emo girls Myspace.

:( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :(

Who cares? We're all going to die one day anyway, right? Might as well ignore all of those prophesies and such and just have fun in the meantime.

Hey, if the apocalypse starts in 2012, and keeps going through 2013, I might be 27 when I die. All of the cool people die at 27.

I got a bomb shelter in an undisclosed location. It's 4 miles beneath the surface, it's surrounded by 1 mile of lead (radiation) and one mile of steel. It got it's own farm, renewable water source, and it's own power source. I am ready to ride out the end of the world baby!

*goes and steals some cows for his Bomb shelter*

How do you intend to fire that at me if the world is destroyed?

Valid, the question is.
But last time I checked, the average school isnt apocalypse proof-unless of course you live in Switzerland.

Moonbases? Time-travel? Pre-emptive strike?

There's plenty of way and means.

I will tell you what....

If you fire that at the Chinese Space Station you can join me on the ISS, until the air starts to run out at least.

Of course if the whole planet is blown up I'm not entirely sure where the ISS will go to.

What the hell kind of school do you go to?

http://www.pisd.edu/schools/secondary/jasper/index.shtml

A normal, boring school with good test scores. ISS is a room where you go-sort of like detentions. THat would be cool if they sent the bad kids into outer space however.

You go to school till 4:15? We only go till 3:15 and I'm done at 1:55.

I already have plans to hang out with Dragon Man in Colorado Springs in the event of a Zombie Apocalypse. For those of you not in the Colorado locale, Dragon Man is the only Class A weapons dealer in 2000 miles of his shop. He owns about 17 RPGs with 80 or so grenades for them, about 200 different varieties of automatic weapons, mortars, .50 cals, a functioning Sherman Tank and a safehouse with 12 years of non-perishable food for 5 people. That, and hes building a sniper tower in one of his numerous paintball fields. :sniper: BOOM! HEADSHOT! :mp5: AKAKAKAKAK! 2 BILLION TO GO!!

All I know is, that if the world DOES end in 2012, I'm definitely gonna miss my 10-year high school reunion in 2013. :(

Hey, me too.

Oh well. I never liked most of them anyway :D

How do you intend to fire that at me if the world is destroyed?

Well, I assume that there's going to be an apocalyptic war of some sort. If not, well, I hope you enjoy starving to death. (or dying of thirst, either way). ;)

@ Legless Pirates, when you rape, murder and pillage...make sure you do it in the right order;) Unless you're into that kind of thing:p

Wasn't there a theory about the world ending sometime during the 1980's?

Bah @ order

I've been doing some research (to sate my lust for knowledge), and it would seem that the universe will have it in for this world in the year 2012.

The Mayans, the Christians, the Hindus, all with different scenarios, including but not limited to, a zombie invasion (of which I am MORE than prepared :p).


I havent heard anything about Christian predictions of the end of the world being 2012. Could you elaborate?

Wasn't there a theory about the world ending sometime during the 1980's?
No...I think that was the year 2000 :p

I havent heard anything about Christian predictions of the end of the world being 2012. Could you elaborate?

It's the Bible Code. Apparently a group of Rabbis took the Old Testament, had it written out in Hebrew, and then they played crossword puzzle with the Hebrew Verison of the Old Testament. Apparently they found some "codes" that "predicts" that an asteroid is going to destory the earth in 2012.

I just don't buy all of this end world's prediction. I mean in the Bible it says that man does not know the time or day, not the angel, not even the son knows. Only the All mighty himself knows. It also says that the end will come like a thief in the night.

Ach. All they really do is look at some letters in somewhat of a linear fashion. Even then, they're rather vague.

Until one of the codes spells out, word by word "The world will end in the year of our Lord 2012 when a big fucking rock hits us." I'm not buying it.

At least she was tight, if you catch my drift.

Until one of the codes spells out, word by word "The world will end in the year of our Lord 2012 when a big fucking rock hits us." I'm not buying it.The chance of finding that is actually rather high. Given a decent library, I'd wager there is at least one (simple) code and one book, which spell it out.

LOL. Actually, I've seen pictures of her and she's fine...with hte help of presidential make-up artists. But then there are pictures like this:

http://chronicle.augusta.com/images/headlines/021098/QUAYLE_VISIT.jpg

Where she looks like a man in a dress.

George carlin even attacked her mercilessly in one of his comedy routines, saying among other things: "I wouldn't fuck her with a stolen dick!"

The Christian one was predicted by Newton. Interestingly, Nostradamus predicted the birth of Jesus in 1999 (if read in a certain way), so shit should start happening as Jesus hits thirteen. Which might spoil his teenage years.

What's the Hindu one? I never heard of it before.

In the Hindu version, Siva will come on down and do his/her cosmic dance with a dwarf, enveloping the world in fire before it returns to its primordial state.

2012 is the year of the London Olympics and HM Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee.
And the year that I graduate from my year course at the Bar and the start of my pupillage in either Lincoln's Inn; Gray's Inn; Middle Temple or Inner Temple.

What could be more special than that? ;)

I wouldn't fuck George Carlin with a stolen dick, either, so it's only fitting.
