I agree with what my Daddy used to say:

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

We had this same 2012 discussion a month ago...

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."

When the date rolls around I will get up, I will take a piss, I will turn on the TV, and I will go back to bed and not be dead.

Rhodes 01-20-08 07:27 AM

I remember when the doomsday date was the year 2000, for same people... Now it's 2012. My question is, when 2021 arrives, and the world do not end, what will be the next date?:p

TteFAboB 01-20-08 01:13 PM

2111, 2112, 2121 or 2122. Definitely 2222.

The fact is the world IS going to end some day... probably not in our lifetime, but it is going to end. This is the way the universe works, and these people are going to continue to keep guessing until the world DOES end... then they'll say, "See!! We KNEW!!" when in fact it was inevitable to begin with.

Everything dies... but that's not the end of the story...

What if humans are so advanced by that time that we have built new sun to replace the real one when it shuts down? :88)

elite_hunter_sh3 01-21-08 10:42 AM

we wont survive till that point.. another 30-50 years before we nuke ourselves to death.....:shifty:

Stealth Hunter 01-21-08 11:16 AM

Indeed... and even then, who knows what Mother Nature will throw at us? Hell, the universe is a shooting gallery, not a peaceful meadow with lovely trees beside a cool, clear stream in the mountains. Asteroids fly all over the place, and it's a fact that one WILL hit us some day (just look at the moon; it has taken FEWER asteroid hits than Earth has since the dawn of our solar system). Not only do we have asteroids to fear, but also cosmic radiation waves and black holes (and black holes are a bigger threat to us than most people consider them to be; we're more likely to be destroyed by a black hole than we are to die from the sun dying out!).

The fact still remains we are going to die eventually. It's not a bad thing, either. Death is a natural part of life: a beginning and an end, as it is with all things. Eventually, everything that we know of at this point (galaxies, suns, planets, stars, etc.) will be destroyed... but they're made up of energy (as are humans), and as we all know from Elementary School, energy cannot be created or destroyed...

On the evening on the 21th of december, we are maybe sitting with our family and some of us is perhaps thinking:

Damm elite_hunter_sh3 was right
