If so, good. I get to live to see Iron Man the following year.

 

[SuperFerret]

So we have 100 more years to figure out a replacement for our old Mayan calendars? Great. It was getting down to the wire here and nobody was having ideas.

 

[AndThePickles]

Ha, I read this early this morning and had a good chuckle. Hopefully it will shut up the crazies.

 

[SuperFerret]

Pickles, the world was supposed to have ended at least four times in the 26 years I've been alive. The crazies will just find a new date.

Are you kidding? The crazies maintain that the world is going to end despite the fact that the Mayans never, y'know, predicted the end of the world or anything. I really don't something like factual evidence will get in their way.

 

[Matt]

Also, somewhere, Roland Emmerich is pissed.

 

[terry78]

Hopefully we don't get some psycho who, in pure supervillain fashion attempts to "carry out" the end of the world to make sure it happens.

 

[SuperFerret]

No he's not. Now he gets to make 2112.

One can only hope.

Ain't Nuthin Gonna Happen 2012!

Quote Me!!

 

[The Squirrel]

I never believed it anyway.

Haha, this is true Or they'll say, "the government is trying to throw us off track!" and hide in their bomb shelters that they built for Y2K.

 

[terry78]

If you know who runs for prez and wins, that's the first sign of it actually coming to pass.

 

[amazingfantasy15]

The news report I saw said it was +/- 100 years, so he or she might be 98 years late now.

 

[Dr. Evil]

This is good news.....maybe it means that Hollywood studios can now spread out their major movie releases and not have it all released in 2012.

About the calender? Or about his movies sucking?

 

[the_ultimate_evil]

i've more chance of hooking up all night with eliza dushku than the world ending in 2012


either outcome i'm royally screwed

 

[Spider-Fan]

Now THAT is what I call logic

 

[Wolfwood]

I'm not buying it. What is this guy? Some scientist? What does he know? Pffft.


In all seriousness though, I'm still building my bomb shelter. You never know when something like that might come in handy.

I held down the right arrow on my computer calender and got it to go up to 2042 before I got bored. Thank you Microsoft, for reassuring me the world won't end yet.

Yeah, you'd think they'd realise that the Mayan calender would have to stop somewhere. Or did they expect it to go on forever?

 

[Immortalfire]

I'll be long gone by 2112 anyway

How do you know? They could have some cure for....dying in another couple decades or something.

 

[Immortalfire]

The ancient Calendar of Flame foretells my end.

Pickles, People still beleive in the Surgeon's Phtograph, even though we know it was deffinitly a hoax.
Same thing with the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.
Once.....unbalanced people* convince themselves of something, you can't convince them otherwise w/o Mind Control.


*I'm not convinced all beleivers in the three things I mentioned are really crazy. Just unbalanced

 

[The Question]

Darn it. I hoped that 2012 coming and going would shut everyone up about 2012.
