2012

Why 2012?

I dunno, it seems just as good as any other random number people could make up and attach the end of humanity to.

2012...yeeeeah, see I've got plans that year. Hows 2015 for you?

I don't really know. It could be popular opinion of psychics/Nostradamus prophecy decrypting/tea leaf readers.

I think that has to do with the Mayan calender saying the end of the 5th world and the beginning of the 6th world happens on that year. It might also have to do with a celestial alignment that's supposed to happen then too. If I remember correctly all of the planets in our solar system (maybe with the exception of Pluto) will all aligned on a single path that year.

End of the world? Doubt it. Pigs start flying and cats start speaking the Queen's English? Now THAT'S something I wanna see!

The Mayans invented the calendars we use today. The present calendars ends in the year 2012.

By tracking the movements of the Moon, Venus, and other heavenly bodies, the Mayans realized that there were cycles in the Cosmos. From this came their reckoning of time, and a calendar that accurately measures the solar year to within minutes.

The "Calendar Round" is like two gears that inter-mesh, one smaller than the other. One of the 'gears' is called the tzolkin, or Sacred Round. The other is the haab, or Calendar Round.

I believe the Bible Code also states that the world will end in 2012. A meteor or comet will strike the earth. I think it even gives the exact date. Sometime in May if I am not mistaken.

Anyway, I am not suprised by this appointment. I mean, come on, it is George W running this country, did you actualy expect him to do something right after all this time?

Now what I would like to see is that Y2K end of the world that we never got to see. Well, except on Family Guy.

"Empty my litter box you bloody wanker!"
"Yeah, I'll come over there when you give me a decent reason that doesn't involve that sodding fuzzy toy."
"I lick my arse because I can and I know it freaks you out."
"That catnip last night was top notch!"
"I COULD rip your throat out while you're sleeping for that bath, but instead I'll pee in your shoe.
"Those footprints on the counter? Um, I have no idea how they got there but I agree they would seem to implicate me."

Not exactly queen's [proper] english, but I'm guessing my cat wouldn't be all that charitable.

Funny how in '99, I've heard that the end of the world will be in 2003.

Actually, it's a popular opinion of Christian and Jewish scholars as well. (the only reason I know this is because of some show regarding dooms day/the Apocalypse/rapture, whatever you want to call it, that aired on the History or Discovery Channel fairly recently).

That sounds pretty cool, you remember what it was called? I'll punch it in my Tivo and see if they are still playing it.

I can't remember for the life of me, but I've seen it several times already and I believe it was on the History channel and not Discovery.
