If the Mayans were so good at predicting the future they would still be around you would think.

I thought you all knew, the universe revolves around america. it's not officially dec 21st 2012 until we say so!

the end was so bad they didn't even wanna stick around!

 

[MHSL82]

For those thinking they are in the clear, I suppose the threshold is when you pass 12/21/2012 at X:XX Mayan time. So it doesn't matter what time it is in Shanghai, for example.

No, I don't believe in the Mayan Apocalypse.

Sometimes, I wish the world would end so that all those that mock the Mayans would have the collective "oh shit" moment because mocking the dead is not cool and super lame (when no one else puts their bets on the table for all to see) - but then I remember that I live on this world, too, and that this thought could be seen as mocking the Mayans. I suppose this is how some religious people think about their God coming down to show everyone and have the atheists or other religious people squirm, repent, and show their remorse.

When will our sun explode

The sun will go dark in 4-5 billion years and stay dark for 20-30 billion years - but the world will be uninhabitable due to the sun's heat in 1 billion years - that's if we don't do it ourselves. (I think saying we could end mankind within 1 billion years isn't political - not saying that global warming is solely political. Is it? ) (Even if science backs it, there are plenty of things that are political about responses to the Earth's climate - though it should just be science.)

I predict all humans will be dead by 4016. Prove me wrong (not theoretically!). Note: if all people die in 2084, that's still true that all humans are dead by 4016. Having said that, I predict by 999,999 AD, all humans will be dead - a full 2013 years earlier than those billion year estimations (though I know people could die from the sun before it becomes uninhabitable for all living organisms).

lol no one is mocking the dead. they are actually mocking the alive because mayans never said the world is ending. mayans said this is the end of a cycle and that's it. People who make money off of fear mongering, books and survival gear said the world is ending. Religious leaders play a role in it as well, keeping that fear alive makes people turn to god.

 

[MHSL82]

If the world ended today (meaning the 21st), Republicans would be right about Obama being a one-tern president. In fact, I think the Mayans were just trying to make Republicans feel better for a month after the election before facing reality - if ever, of course. (I'm not Republican or Democrat, I like to jump back and forth depending on the issues.) I think if I didn't know the candidates, I would vote for the incumbent for a second term and then vote for the opposing party after the second term. Thank goodness they tell us about who the candidates are.

Never paid much attention to it because I had no reason to believe in it - good to know that they weren't predicting it - though I suppose there's no shame in not knowing.

Why is it the beginning of the day? Why not the end of it?

 

[Arete Tzu]

OH NO!

 

[Flyingiguana]

so whens the world ending? i wanna set my dvr

 

[spacedoodoopistol]

Tom Tolbert's line yesterday, something like: "did anyone consider that the Mayan responsible for making the calendar might have just had his throat ripped out by a jaguar before he moved on to 2013?"

No, they would still be wrong. He's finished his 1st term and was re elected, then has started his 2nd term. So no, both you and the republicans are wrong.

The theory had something to do with 5 am.
