Apparently, calendars of many civilizations (including Mayans among others) end at 2012. Some people say we are all going to die, others say it's the end of the whole world, while different people think it's going to be like an Ice Age, something like new era or a new page for the world for people who live. Also many think that these major weather changes are related to it, since it's close, obviously. Also, the main prediction is that the world will be enlightened by the shade of green!

Your thoughts?

My thoughts: I say we destroy the world in 2011 to prove those damn Mayans wrong

Yes, 2012 is coming.
And so is 2013, 2014, 2015, etc.

WERE ALL GONNA DIE!!!

That's the best idea I've heard all year! LET'S HIT IT!!!

This is the Y2k all over again. Seriously.

As a Mayan, I can say with the utmost genetic certainty that nothing will happen.

I gotta go with this one, doom is inevitable. Just keep a clean pair of undies on you on new year's.

My thoughts ........ i think the guy that was doing the mayan calender got fired or quit.

Sorry but i don't believe all that nonsense.

Won't happening hey if I am wrong now one will be around to bust my chops about it.

Come on guys, I have the rest of this year and 2011 to get through yet.

Its ok, I have a plan, we are gonna build a bigger calender out of a larger rock and save the day

Actually, I think Rohugh will destroy us all before 2012. He'll beat the sun in a staring contest.

Nothing will happen, probably.

It's coming for rats my friend, but is it coming for us?

Seriously though, absolutely nothing will happen. I don't know why anyone would believe that.

The world's people suffer a collective heart attack from the growing bacon obsession. It has been foretold.

Naysayers will be deep fried and served with a side of potatoes.

How funny would it be if Rohugh banned every member of this forum for 24 hours new years eve of 2012?

Why do you give them ideas?!

The only people that are going to die are those killing themselves out of fear of the whole 2012 nonsense...

Shame, really.

Nothing will happen until 100 years after 2012. In 2112 a man will discover a guitar in a cave and bring it to the priests of the temple of Syrinx. They will smash his guitar and send him away, where he will dream of a better world and then kill himself.

All of the reasons believers in this "prophecy" (I say prophecy because the Mayans didn't predict anything except having to make a new calendar) have come up with for how we will be destroyed have been either ruled out or deemed ridiculous by scientists. Even NASA went and spoke out against some of them. 2012 will be another Y2K except in 2012 we will have something we didn't have back in the year 2000, a word to describe the massive level of fail that will take place with nothing happens. That magic word is "epic facepalm."

Though, I must admit that I do find the alternative date given for "doomsday" (December 23rd instead of the 21st) to be hilariously demented. If the world does end in 2012, I sincerely hope it is on the 23rd. After the 21st and 22nd go by without any incident, the 23rd comes and boom, the chipmunks of the world initiate their long planned rebellion. That will be a glorious day for our future rulers, a glorious day indeed.

The Mayans did not predict the end of the world in 2012. In fact, they predicted events much AFTER 2012.

Its just a tick over on the metaphorical oddometer. No more magical than the change from 1999 to 2000.

Its seems, not even the real Mayans care about it - so why should we?

I we're all gonna die, then what does it matter whether we wear clean undies or not, we'll all be dead so it won't matter, right??? :shrug:

seriously though, mankind has been predicting it's doom since... well it's been forever. One of these days they (the doomsayers) may be right then look at you and say, " See, we were right all along, we told you it was going to happen." Oh wait, we'll be dead by then so...umm....nevermind.
