Is the end of the world coming?

Look at your iPod.
It's clock only goes up to 2099.
Why?

Because you wont need it longer than that...
But I bet iPods produced in 2099 wil go up to 3099...

In my opinion its the same thing with the Mayans

They didn't need they're calender to go any longer than to 2012 at that time...

And I bet you If they were still around today...


THEY'D JUST ADD TO THEIR CALENDAR :P
 
funny i've been to one of the mayan cities called Chichen itza and heard about all these things and to be honest it's bullshit
heres a mayan calendar https://webspace.utexas.edu/cokerwr/www ... lendar.gif and some info https://webspace.utexas.edu/cokerwr/www ... /2012.html

it pretty much says that the mayans had to make a longer calenday called the Long Count, with a cycle of 1,872,000 days or about 5125 years original Arguelles nonsense was based on the assumption that the current Long Count cycle started on August 11, 3114 BC, meaning that the next cycle would begin 21 December, 2012 AD. so it would just get longer and then it would o for another 5125 years and another and so on until our sun burns out and the planet dies. but we won't have to worry about that though will we.

heres some fun stuff to read, im looking for a really really good site i was reading that countered every crackpot 2012 prediction with actual facts.

one thing id like to point out that i remember, 2012 is end of the mayan calendar, but a lot of the end world scenarios, really dont have anything to do with the mayan calendar, like the planet-x/nibiru idea is based off of sumerian lore, which has nothing to do with the mayans or their calendar, or the year 2012

fun little quote i found somewhere

"The calender we use today is actually 6 years ahead of actual time. IIRC the Mayan calender uses the stars to predict events, so faults are not possible. Poviding these are valid, we can safely say it is 2015, which means that the 2012 events already would have happened in 2006."

bottom line, 2012 is a money making scheme. businessmen prey on the weak minded as usual. fuck they even made a hollywood movie
 
"Ok, I guess 2012 should be the last date, we shall continue on our work when it reaches that date"

*They got wiped out*

-Meanwhile in the business men meeting-

"Let's get all those fools to buy our apocalypse products" :devil:



Also:

My country Malaysia has been mentioned! YAYAY!
:biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: :toot: :toot: :toot:

btw what the hell does "end of the world" mean?
the Mayans' thing was big cats falling from the skies

honestly I'm rooting for the big cats because then we can stave off apocalypse just by having strong roofs and shutting our doors
