What, the fact that the whole 21st thing is based on a misunderstanding of the Mayan calender isn't enough? The 21st is simply the end of the 13th Bak'tun (long term unit of time, ~400 years) of the current age, and has little more significance than the year 2000 did for the calender we use.

If the Mayan's had insight into the future, they actually guarantee that the world does NOT end on the 21st. In fact, they "predicted" events occurring long after that point, for example, there's supposed to be some kind of reborn king popping up in the 4200's AD, astronomical events were plotted out up to the end of the 17th baktun, and the universe is apparently going to keep on rolling up to the Mayan date of 13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.0.0.0.0 (approximately 2.7 x 10^28 years from now), at which point it apparently gets "reborn".
You mssed the blatant trolling of the OP...

Noooo freakin' way is there going to be an Armageddon I just brought my overdue paperwork into order! The world can end once the newly generated stuff is overdue, but let me enjoy the lack of abusive emails for a little while! And I really want to play colonial marines....

I don't know about the rest of you but I am immortal, I have inside me the blood of kings.

I have no rivals, no man can be my equal...you see where I'm heading with this.

Seriously though, while the world won't end for at least another 300 years or ideally when the sin dies, I am absolutely certain that no fewer than 8,000 people will kill themselves or other people on the 21st (on top of those that normally do on a daily basis) just because they needed the barest of self justification to actually do it.

On 12.12.12 some guy called 911 to tell them he carved a pentagram into his son's back. When asked why, he stated matter of factly that it was because it was a holy day. I can only imagine what the world wide idiocy committee has planned for something with a pseudo prophetic doomsday based on a complete lack of cultural understanding of the subject matter, or even proper math. Based upon the differences between the various calendars used between then and now the day in question has already long since past. Much like all the people concerned with the millennium got their panties in a bunch around midnight, when the actual 2000 year mark was another day entirely.

You give people a round number on a calendar, or an arbitrary one, and tell them its special and they will lose their shit 100% guaranteed.

They forget things like leap year, transitions from one calendar system to another, and the basic imperfection of all calendars in general to keep 100% accurate time. Which is why things like leap day exist in the first place.

Also that whole BS with basing everything around Jesus's birth and death, and then miscounting the number of years he was alive and the year he was born. According to the current pope anyways. The previous opinion was he was born on 3 B.C. I believe...which is just confusing.

Why we base our entire system of time around one guy, is extremely questionable to begin with. Not as questionable as choice to release the movie "2012" at all, let alone waaaaaaay before the year in question based upon this shit.

I'm surprised they haven't gotten it back into theaters for the 21st in a special 3D director's cut, and everyone in the audience gets their own commemorative assault rifle and 4 free mags to "spread the word."

This time, fighting to protect humanity, but most importantly Christmas, is Jesus and Santa Claus. Now the reason that the world will most assuredly not end is quite simple, dragons do not have opposable thumbs and therefore cannot shoot hoops.
Dragons do not have thumbs? I beg to differ.

This guy quite clearly has thumbs, He also has his own portable hoop through which to shoot
Firstly, that was my joke and it is therefore mine to defend. Secondly, they clearly lost as our still existing makes quite clear, meaning something prevented them from winning. Thirdly, their breed of dragon is exceptionally different from the one you presented and most certainly lack hoops.
