I was browsing youtube when I found this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKbEI8pDz0A
I then did a little bit of research about this. Apparantly 21st december 2012 is when the Long Count the Mayan calender comes to an end. The Doomsday fanatics have set this as the next date the World will end. Does anyone actually believe these rumors or do the doom mongers just spread them for kicks?

If the Mayans were so smart they would have invented the wheel.

DFKDFC to be honest.

Humanity needs a good old fashioned massed cull at the hand of nature!

I think the end of the world will occur when some computer programmers use 2 bits of memory to allocate the year part of the date into critical computer programs instead of 4 bits. So when a year that ends with '99 reaches 12 o'clock on december 31st, all these computers (that our lives depend on) will either short-circut, shut-down completely or think it's actually the year 0, all of which would end society as we know it.

I bet anyone in the world 1 million pounds the world won't end on that date, or before then. Any takers?

I think the world will end with the rapture, one thousand years after the birth of Christ.

I'm going to try and make a pilgrimage to Jerusalem before them.

2012...Zombie outbreak,I'm looking forward to it.

Remember that people have been predicting this since the dawn of history. Some civilizations even had scientific evidence. Has it happened yet? Nope.

I'm going to ignore doomsday fanatics. Being christian, I'm going to put my faith with God.

Ahhh but what about Revelations?
Thats basically a vision of Doomsday.
Not saying I actually believe in all the BS

Well, I see the US and Russia finaly set a date.

No because every rumor that people think up is physically impossible.

For example, for Niberu to enter our solar system, you'd have to take it's solar system and move it into ours. IIRC, Niberu's system has a sun.

"Don't Fething Know, Don't Fething Care"

I think the human race has become far too paranoid.
If every Doomsday theory had any basis, then the Earth would have been destroyed hundreds of times over, lol.

Thanks Jin. I try to keep up with this whole wacky internet thing, but it's not so easy for us old folks.

On to the subject at hand, I believe it's the date when the Grays finally stop jerking us around and openly announce what the hell they've been doing with us bipedal monkeys for the last few million years. I predict puzzlement, dismay and a rapid return to hooting and poop-throwing out of spite.

Doomsday already took place we were all to busy playing GW's games to notice.

The world will end when I choke every damn person on this planet to death with my bare hands. Not until then.

Shall I point you to THE ANGER THREAD?!?!?

Nope, but it's sure as hell funny to use in conjunction with the release dates for the Dark Eldar and =I= Codices.

No, the world won't end. It will continue on for a very longtime until it is incinerated in some star or bashed to rubble by planetary/Giant asteriod collision.

Now the human race on the other hand...................Evil Laughter echoing from som government mad scientists laboratory

Will I have finished paying off my loans by then ? No.

No chance of the world ending until 5 minutes after that happens.

Well, it's nice to have something to look forward to

They used the wheel in toys.... for some strange reason they did not use it anywhere else....

Nor metals other than gold.

All of this probably because 2012 is the end of the Mayan calendar. GEE MAYBE THOSE PESKY MAYANS FIGURED THAT THERE WAS ENOUGH CALENDAR WHEN THEY WROTE 2012 AND THUS DECIDED TO END IT THERE. I DON'T BLAME THEM THAT'S A LOT OF CALENDAR TO WRITE.

No way! Thats a Medical Acronym that!

No.

Haven't forgeworld mentioned that they will make a warlord titan in 2012?

The end of the world... hmm...

I guess they mean it is going to be lifesize, then.

I welcome 21st Dec 2012 as the opportunity for a once in six thousand year rave up, don't waste it. By all respects it should be as big an occassion as 1999.

Well here is the problem the doomsady muppets wont see, the Long Count no more ends on that date than your clock 'ends' when the hour hand reaches 12.
