2012

I was watching History Channel last night and they had several shows pertaining to 2012. One of the theories is that there will be a realignment of the poles when everything lines up with the center of the universe. What that means to us is that the earths mantle will shift or spin. This could cause the Calderas to erupt as well as all the volcanos, it would also put a great strain on all fault lines. And lastly the earths crust would shift as a whole in relation to the present day rotation. Then again it could be Y2K all over again.

Kinda' depressing, ain't it?

You just had to mention that year, didn't you? Didn't you? I knew it was getting too quiet around here.

Once it's over, write a post and let us know how you made out. :innocent:

Only one knows when where and how. I need to get me some zombie killin blades.

I guess what i'm getting at is, there simply are some things that we will not be able to prepare for, or survive for that matter.

Glad I read this thead today. *Burp* I've just started and I'm already half-way through my final goal *Burp* for *Burp* this lifetime.

There have been more theories about the world coming to an end than there are years on calendar. Most physicists have stated this whole alignment thing will affect nothing at all. And if it does then why worry about it?

Well, just to be on the safe side, I'm gonna' "buy" that 80' yacht I've always wanted but could never afford in my wildest dreams. I'll be back just as soon as I swipe a few identities. Takes about 3 years to prosecute those cases, so the timing should be perfect. :innocent:

So much to do,so little time.I am positive we will survive.If you worry you die,if you dont worry you also die,so why worry?Live each day as if it is your last one.Open another cold one Ken.

Dec 24 2012 is just another date. It's the end of the Maya calendar, and the beginning of a new "big turn" or something like that. The world doesn't end every jan 1, does it? Nope because Jan 1 is an arbitrary date in an arbitrary calendrical system. The Mayan calendar is just based on astronomical events, like the several thousand year precession of the north pole.

My entertainment will be watching everyone else go crazy. Get out of stocks before Dec 2012 though.

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mayan_calendar:
"The Mesoamerican Long Count calendar forms the basis for a New Age belief, first forecast by José Argüelles, that a cataclysm will take place on or about December 21, 2012, a forecast that mainstream Mayanist scholars consider a misinterpretation, yet is commonly referenced in pop-culture media as the 2012 problem."

and
"For example, Sandra Noble, executive director of the Mesoamerican research organization FAMSI, notes that "[f]or the ancient Maya, it was a huge celebration to make it to the end of a whole cycle". However, she considers the portrayal of December 2012 as a doomsday or cosmic-shift event to be "a complete fabrication and a chance for a lot of people to cash in."

I need to get the zombie attack survival manual. Lol. Don't laugh... there really is a manual.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Zombie_Survival_Guide :alien:

I just watched a show last night on Issac Newton. And his biblical calculations came up with 2060

pancho, we'll all survive just fine. We'll just need "More Brains!"

Party poopers...http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091011/...apocalypse2012

Crikey! I have been living a sheltered, blissfully ignorant life! never heard of this 2012 thing before, I thought you were all wittering on about the next Olympics!
Conspiracies, conspiracies, oh what to believeor not:innocent:

I knew my wardrobe was missing an ascot.

As the Minister of Science I'm canceling the year 2012 and jumping straight to 2013. That should be a lot luckier.

*Finally releases breath*

That's good, 'cause I was expecting......... http://www.whowillsurvive2012.com/

Here's a great 2012 movie trailer: http://www.fancast.com/movies/2012-(...e-Scene/videos

Party on Dec. 20, 2012, Just in case.................

Just don't do like the guy that ran up us Am-Ex card the last time the world was ending. He was so convinced it would end that he charged everything in sight, with no ability to every pay it back. I wonder how that worked for him.

i think on 2012 there will be a huge eruption of embarrassed laughter by new aged experts from the over whelming lack of catastrophe. the movie looks like fun though.

When my other half asked me why I wanted to marry her in the spring of 2013, I told her that if we lived through dec.2012, I"d figure...what the heck...It must be meant to be. She had no idea what I was talking about. When I told her, she said that I'm full of crap. Now that she has thought about it (Read as; She doesn't want to wait that long.), she now says that the 2012 stuff is true, and she doesn't want to die un-married. Go figure!:innocent:

You can't win, 2D. She's.....one of them.

I wonder what the shelf life is on granny's Y2K survival rations?

Yeah the whole "world ending on the year 2012" is based on the Mayan calender; so they even made a movie about it hoping it's not true as they won't enjoy all of the cash they're going to rake in. So what do we know about the Mayans? (The people, not the....whatever.:alien:) Not much, they were very primitive, didnt know beans about how to make indoor plumbing, automobiles, electricity, penicillin, wore really weird outfits & we trust them to make really great calenders that accurately predict the end of the world? C'mon, how many Mayans does it take to screw in a light bulb? Answer: NONE! They never had electricity! :innocent::sneaky2::cool2:

when the world actually ends, i don't think any of us will have seen it coming. wait... where did the light g....

here's my take on the 2012 mayan calendar. There's been enough speculation and ranting about the world ending on this day simply because the calendar ends.

well, the mayan calendar was based on a 46,000 year (of our years) cycle. It is true the earth's tilt slowly changes between something like 18 and 23 degrees over the course of a LONG time. this is similar to the way Native American's calendar was based on Moons, but the Lunar calendar had 13 months.

what happened when their calendar ran out?
what happens every year when our calendars run out?

same thing is gonna happen.
apparently it takes 46k years+/- to go around the galaxy and in the process the earth's tilt changes slightly.
after Dec. 21, 2012, there will be....
Dec.22, 2012.
There's no need to worry, just go back to the beginning of the mayan calendar and start counting down again. I doubt we get to see any new stars, but what the heck, I like the view ;)
I'll see you guys on 12-22-09 (or as soon as I get out of the woods with that huge buck)

I never buy into such far fetched propaganda. If people would just think for themselves nobody would get exploited like this.

OK, maybe not the end of the world, but the end of the world as we know it.

I can see things being different, by the end of December 2012. Think about what is going to happen in November of 2012. No matter which way it goes, a lot of people are going to be ticked off. (The pitchforks could come out.)

I hope it doesn't, but I can see things getting ugly, around that time.
(I think it would be smart of us, to try and keep the crazy/extreme folks in check.) LOL:innocent:

Oops...sorry about that, Winnie. I wasn't thinking, again.

November 2012 is our (American) next Presidential election. I have a feeling that whether Obama is re-elected or not, one side is going to say that there is no way that could happen.

I hope that the election doesn't stir up a lot of trouble, and it probably won't....but then again, I've seen things happen , over the past couple of years, that I never thought I would see.

As luck would have it, I also tilt something like 18 and 23 degrees over the course of a LONG time. Fortunately, in the opposite direction of the earth. That's probably the only thing that keeps me upright.
