Hmmm... maybey this is what they were referring to?:hmm:

"Australia will begin phasing out analogue television in 2010, with the process forecasted to be completed by 2012." from:http://www.gizmodo.com.au/hd/basics.html

The end of the world as we know it....Yawn... predictions of doom have been around as long as there have been story tellers. Almost all of them hang on a near future date and point to older predictions that are either inaccurately translated so that "recent" events to "prove" their case or accurately translated but clearly erroneous due to the other predictions around them that were clearly not right and thereby devaluing the source of the orginal prediction.

THE CALENDAR SAYS NOTHING ABOUT THE END OF THE WORLD.

It just says there will be a great change. Nothing in there about the fall of man or death and downfall of civilization, just that there will be a great change. Nothing specific, but hey, throw me a bone here.

I agree with what my Daddy used to say:

"A man born to hang ain't gonna die of drowning."

Oh no fellas, it's far worse than we thought. I just checked my calendar and it ends, not in 2012, but on December 31st of THIS freaking YEAR! :o

The Mayan calendar ends on 12 21 12
Interesting statement but hardly true:

" The Mayans believed at at the conclusion of each pictun cycle of about 7,885 years the universe is destroyed and re-created. Those with apocalyptic inclinations will be relieved to observe that the present cycle will not end until Columbus Day, October 12, 4772 in the Gregorian calendar. Speaking of apocalyptic events, it's amusing to observe that the longest of the cycles in the Mayan calendar, alautun, about 63 million years, is comparable to the 65 million years since the impact which brought down the curtain on the dinosaurs--an impact which occurred near the Yucatan peninsula where, almost an alautun later, the Mayan civilisation flourished. If the universe is going to be destroyed and the end of the current pictun, there's no point in writing dates using the longer cycles, so we dispense with them here."
