If anyone had second or third thoughts that line should give them pause to think again.:innocent:Quote:

OMG! Now that right there is funny I don't care who you are.
Or scary if'n you're planning on a visit. Just sayin'.
The Mayan "Leader" who was quoted here obviously has no clue how the Mayan Calander works and makes the rest of his comment suspect. The Myan calender is not a liner concept like ours, it is cyclical and therefore never actually ends. You couldn't "make it longer" if you wanted to, that's not how it works. The calander is very intricate. To understand it, imagine a wheel made up of a couple dozen or so rows of hieroglyphs or symbols representing individual stars, planets, animals ect. These glyphs are strung together to have each day represented with different combinations of symbols. i.e. Tuesday is just tuesday to us, but to them think tuesday represents the day Saturn, Jaguar, Palm leaf, rain drop, boar, wind ect. In that exact order. Tomorrow may have the same string with only the glyph sun replacing wind. That particular combination of symbols only occurs once, Ever! When all the permitations of symbols occur, that is considered the "Era" as being completed and the calander starts over. It takes about umpteenthousand years for the cycle to complete itself and the Maya believe we are now at the end of the lfourth and last "Era".Quote:

This might not be that big a deal to some, but remember that on certain years, Mars may be on one side of the Sun and Jupiter on the opposite side, and some years they are on the same side. This calander accounts for that and is accurate to one one-thousanths of a day compared to our present day technology. It's really a mind-fu*k the more you read about it and all the intracacies of how the thing works and the fact that when it was created, it wouln't be until the age of computers before that degree of astronomical accuracy would be achieved. The reason so much is made about 2012 is because most people who understand the calander believe that either aliens or a Devine being helped create it just because of the awsomeness and impossibility that a stone age people could create it on thier own. Oh yeah... and that day, you know... that one day on Dec. 12, 2012 when the cycle repeats?????? It just happens to coincide with our solar system aligning itself exactly in the middle of the plane of the Milky Way Galaxy, with ALL of the planets aligned on the same plane. That won't happen again for another 250,000,000 or so years. Wrap your head around that a while.

I agree. I don't think it will be the end of anything but the accuracies of it all are astounding.Quote:

Aw shucks Rick - you know that there are many folks that won't let facts get in the way of their ability to scare themselves to death.
Ain't that the truth. Some folks stand in front of a mirror and claim that other guy tried to do them harm.
If dec. 20th 2012 truly will be the day the world ends then my only preparations will be to gather up my friends and family, throw a bunch of weenies and burgers on the grill and some beers in the cooler and try to have the best time possible until the earth explodes.
And if it doesn't then hey, at least we had a good cookout.
If 2012 is gonna be anything like hollywood says it will be then i dont see much point in preparing. Id rather spend my money on getting extreamly wasted beforehand :P
Oooooohhh Yaaaaaaah!!!Quote:

I've already programmed my DVR to record all the events so I can watch them later.
