Poll: December 21,2012. What do you think will happen?

[Aardvark Soup]

Err... So because the Mayan calender ended that day that is when the world is going to end? I think the reason it ended was more like something like this:

Mayan #1: "Hey, are you still working on that calender?"
Mayan #2: "Yes, I'm already at December 21 of 2012."
Mayan #1: "2012? Dude! That's so far in the future, by then we probably don't even exist anymore. Don't you have anything better to do?"
Mayan #2: "But if I stop now and future people find this calender... won't they misinterpret it and think the world is going to end in 2012 or something?"
Mayan #1: "Do you really think future people will be that stupid?"
Mayan #2: "No, of course not. You're right, I'm wasting my time here. Let's go do something fun... like sacrificing people to the Gods."
Mayan #1: "Yay! Sacrifice!"

Isn't 2012 the time when the Zodiac turns to a new astrological sign? So it would simply be a change into the new 'age'. Big deal. All the doomsaying is a hoax imo. Humanity will destroy itself, not because of some calendar, but because of war.

Idiots will pick some other date to obsess over. Those who have made money on THIS theory will retcon like nobodies business.

Agreed. Anyone catch the recent furore over October the 14th?

Its (that date) not the end of the world; its when Jesus, Elvis, Buddy Holly and Napoleon rise from the grave to start their world tour! Napoleon plays a mean bass, y'know.
In all seriousness though, Nostradamus came up with the same kind of time for the end of the world too, and while it could be argued that most of his stuff has been bang on (or indeed a case of alot of imaginantion being thrown into his quantrains to make them fit events after they happened) he might be onto something. I think it had something to do with the 13th sign of the zodiac (Called Ophiuchus, which spends alot of its time on a fag break it seems) and yada yada ya.
But I digress, maybe they (the Mayans) got bored after they got so far. Im certainly not going to be building a bunker in my back garden.
Well, maybe a small one. For poker nights.

Maybe God will get tired of rotating the Earth and toss it into the sun.


I like the Ragnorak theory better.

More bad ass.

 

[Not Good]

And on that day, nothing will happen.

?But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only.? - Matthew 24:36

Nobody can predict when the world will end, not even Jesus. So I'm not worried.

 

[videonerd250]

I'll tell ya what's gonna happen, some fucking awesome games are gonna be released for the holiday season. Other than that, nada.

 

[trooper87]

I think it's just a warning for the beginning of the last minute Christmas holiday shopping scramble ever known that may or may not end the world.

Maybe the games will be too awesome.

There should be a "I couldn't care less" option.
If it ends it does. If it doesn't who cares?

Ok, anyone dumb enough to believe in a doomsday theory based on a culture that couldn't even predict its own annihilation, please step over to the left side of the room. Anyone who believes in prophecies from a time when the way to cure a headache was to drill a hole in someone's head please step over to the right side of the room. Everyone who has not been ordered to either side, please exit the room in an orderly fashion, and be quick about it because I only set the timer for 5 minutes.

This.
...BOOM

 

[ThePlasmatizer]

I believe it's just superstition.

The world wouldn't just suddenly end, if it was going to end in 2012 I'd expect to have seen the beginning of the end by now.

We'll still get gits coming in asking for discounts on our closing down sale.

 

[Jolly Madness]

I'm going to go with the safe option and say "maybe, maybe not" here... though it could be cool to witness the end of the earth

 

[Ronwue]

I'm going for zombie apocalypse for 2012.

No one knows when the end will be. It could be in 5 millenia, it could be in 5 picoseconds. Live each moment like your last.

I remember hearing somewhere that people in all ages had two beliefs, that they would become immortal and that the world was going to end. We're sure as hell not immortal even if stemcell research boomed within the next 10 years, and the world sure as hell hasn't ended yet despite whatever the guys in the 12th century with crappy telescopes said a dozen times.
