2038 is way too long away. All my life, the end of the world has been 8-12 years away. So , after 2012 there will need to be another end of the world around 2020-2024.
You forgot the part where we all sing a slow, deeply moving song now that people are paying enough attention to actually hear us, and hopefully Quetzalcoatl will judge it the best song appearing on civilized planets this year.
Pfew. I thought this was another Sarah Palin thread.
I hear she can see the end of the world from her house.
I’m sick of it too, I generally like the History Channel, but this is outrageous.
As nutty as it is, I think it will be much, much worse in the future, as short as that may be. Comet Kohoutek created cults and this is a lot more tantalizing to the crazies. than that was.
Why 2012? I mean, we’ve had 9/9/09, and we’ll have 10/10/10 and 11/11/11 before, so what’s so special about 2012, other than that it’s an election year in the US?
The Mayan calendar comes to an end on December 21, 2012. They knew the world was goning to end then. Or so the nutbags think.
There’s also some bollocks about Planet X hitting is.
See, I always figured the Mayan priests ended their calendar on that date because they were tired of carving on that damn rock. They probably figured they had enough to be going on with and they’d pick it up again later, after they’d invented pencils.
Start selling survival gear now while the gettin is good.
Special crosses that will make you amongst the chosen ones can be ordered. i will set up a Ebay account and notify you.
I saw a Sunday preacher on Tv a couple years ago, selling blessed rubber bands. The prick wouldn’t even spring for a decent trinket. With that as a bottom line, i can peddle an ID card i will guarantee are issued by god him/herself. Forget the crosses. Just send me money and I will guarantee that you will not be harmed Dec. 2012. If I am right you will be eternally beholden to my powers. if I am wrong, it won’t matter.
You know, if the world ends, you’ll be awfully glad they told you what to expect.
In Hell.
I can’t wait. I saw the “monk running up the himalayan monastery steps while the tsunami crests Mt. Everest” footage months ago and had two responses. First, “oh, they really did NOT make a stupid movie about that ridiculous prophecy,” and second, “that is the coolest special effect I’ve seen in a while.”
That made my night, my friend. Disaster porn…I love it.
I too thought that this 2012 stuff was all bullshit until I read this guy’s book.
Superb.
No, no, no! A giant brobdingnagian Porky Pig of galactic size will poke its head through a suddenly-open wormhole of similar size, and announce “Th…th…th…that’s all, folks!”
President-Elect Palin. Freaky and/or cataclysmic enough?
My question is, how can I get rich off of this latest stupidity?
Glucose has shown to lead to dramatic increases energy levels, if temporary, perhaps if you could isolate this vitality increasing compound in pill form it might give folks the fortitude to survive the perils of that day in 2012 and make it to 2013.
My understanding is that there’s disagreement when the Long Count rolls over – it could be 21 Dec, 23 Dec, or 24 Dec.
As it happens, 23 Dec 2012 is also 10 Tevet 5773 (iirc) – a public fast day. I plan to spend part of the day in prayer.
