2012?

[lilsniffs3]

What is with everything about 12/21/12? Everyone I know seems to know something about it. And I don't. Can someone tell me what it's about?

[Red Giant]

The Mayan Calender stops there, and so some people think that the world will end on 2012.

Because a civilisation that didn't know how to make cement, who thought human sacrifice was necessary to grow crops and who lacked the foresight to stop their own destruction are going to know when the world ends.

Give me a fucken break.

That about sums it up
Mayan Calender ends, and people think the worlds going to a-splode

[Archem]

I'd rather have 2112.

Actually, the Mayan calender starts over, because part of their culture was the view of time as a cycle, since everything really does run in a cycle.  12/21/2012 is the day that this solar system aligns with the supermassive black hole in the center of the galaxy, which in the Mayan civilization was thought to open a temporary gateway to the underworld.

In short, 12/21/12 is, according to the Mayans, the end of the world as we know it, the beginning of a new cycle, not the end of all mankind.

If you're gonna be worried about any date, I'd be worried about 2029 and 2036. I mean, at least there's SOME credibility in those dates.

[Archem]

Come to think of it, I am a little concerned about 20XX...

What would be funny is that the new president will be elected on 29/12/2012 (YES THE EUROPEAN WAY BECAUSE IT'S COOLER!!)

Truth. Mayan calendar ends, but it's cyclical unlike our Gregorian calendar which is linear. The cycles last about 400 years. All that happens is that a new one starts.

Its when the governments in power (Wal-Mart, Exxon, ect) plan to kill off 80% of the worlds population.

"Aligns" with the supermassive black hole? That's like saying Earth is "aligned" with the sun. It is, but without a third point of reference, that's meaningless. If you're only using two points then they're always "aligned."

Also, supermassive black hole by muse just came up on my random music player. I must now visit the bathroom to clean the **** out of my pants.

Just Watch I am legend. It knows all.

Nothing to do with the date.

1 in 45,00 chance means it has a low chance...right? RIGHT?

Its when the governments in power (Wal-Mart, Exxon, ect) plan to kill off 80% of the worlds population.

..... How much is 80 percent?

Come to think of it, I am a little concerned about 20XX...

Doesn't that mean the 21st century? Y2K?

In short, 12/21/12 is, according to the Mayans, the end of the world as we know it, the beginning of a new cycle, not the end of all mankind.

It's the end of the world, as we know it...

I seem to recall something about crystal skulls involved with that date, but I can't remember exactly.
