You know, when you put it that way, the end of the world doesn’t sound so bad.
If that’s the only alternative, then sign me up for Cosmic Doom, please. Smoking section, and hopefully a window seat.
I’m sure there will be some meaningful Astral Conjunction in 2012. And then Cthulhu will no longer dream…
Now I can’t wait till 2012. It’s gonna be awesome!
Agreed. That movie, I’d pay to see! 
Geez what is it with you Americans and your obsession with fear and the end of the world? With all the hype that rolls out, it makes me wonder if collectively you guys want the world to end.
/The 2012 flick looks like a good disaster-porn film.
A significant percentage of American fundamentalist christians want exactly that. The sooner the world ends, the sooner Judgement Day comes, and they can join their loved ones with Jay-sus in Eternal Peace.
Or so they think, none of them having ever heard of the sin of Pride. Methinks they are in for a bit of a shock.
It’ll all be smoking.
I agree with an earlier poster…step away from the TV.
Naw. The nuts are ALWAYS fired up about something. I don’t think that this 2012 thingy is getting nearly as much traction as the hysteria over the Y2K bug and associated end of the world.
To paraphrase the MIB, there is always a Arquillian Battle Cruiser, or a Corillian Death Ray, or an intergalactic plague that is about to wipe out all life on this miserable little planet…just go with the flow…

Hell no. This is going to be big. The nuts have what serves as proof to them, Ancient prophesies and I Ching, and Nostradamus. This could be all the nuts going weird at the same time. How much more fun can you have?
So you’re saying it’s a grand conjunction of nuts ?
I blame it all on Art Bell.
He is not on any more is he?
No, but I seem to remember hearing about 2012 years ago before George took over.
eta: Here’s a quote from a 1997 interview w/Terrence McKenna:
Oh, I’m going to have a get-together on the 21st. But it’s going to be a We Didn’t Die party. And it’s going to be awesome.
You could leave the I Ching out of that list. I consulted it for some time back in the day–until I realized it was usually telling me not to do stupid stuff.
There’s always 2029 when Apophis smashes into the earth. Or if it misses us then, there’s 2036. Oh sure, they say it’s going to miss us, but that’s just what they want you to think! :rolleyes:
Wasn’t me. It was mentioned on the last Nostradamus show.
Well, trying to tie the I Ching in with the end of the Mayan Long Count makes even less sense than tying in Nostradamus. I don’t mind shows about the occult if they’re well done. (That one obviously wasn’t.) And if they don’t put them on the History Channel!
