Enjoy!
Good link. Thanks. I agree with the page you linked to that it's irresponsible and even dangerous to scare people with these predictions, some can be so impressionable. I'll never forget the Heavens Gate suicides - over a comet! That (the comet Hale-Bopp) and a charismatic character who convinced people of his personal delusions. That happened near where I lived at the time. To me a comet passing was an astronomical event I wanted to see, a fascinating real-universe occurrence. Those people turned it into a crazy thing.

Besides which, a space ship as part of a religious belief? I can't help recalling Captain Kirk saying, "What does God need with a space ship?"

The 2012 end-of-the-world myth started making the rounds decades ago. I recall people talking about it in relation to the Mayan calendar when I was in high school in the 70s. I will be so glad, on 12-22, when that is finally disproved. But I'm sure someone will immediately come up with another doomsday prediction.

There are a couple of such members on this site who have got themselves worked up into a frenzy about this forthcoming non-event. They will no doubt be feeling somewhat silly and embarrassed on the 22nd. Unless of course they've got another end of the world event lined up for the future for them to go bat-shit crazy over too.

An idea posted on Twitter earlier today -

When you wake up on the 22nd, run outside, look up at the sky, and shout, "THE DOCTOR DID IT! HE SAVED US ALL!! !"


XDD Love that.


Same here, it would confuse the hell of everyone. :lol:

:lol: but all the nerds would know what it means.
alas, i do not think it will end. as the facebook page says, the world won't end in 2012- marty mcfly has been to 2015. but if it does end on that day then i hope it will be after the potluck the queer lib group here is having i am going to try get to. i am looking forward to/ dreading it.

No, I don´t think so. I think that if we were really set to die (as a mankind), we would have learned about it at some point of this year. At least I hope so.

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha.
I just find the word Bat s**t in that context hilarious.

Reminds me of a lyrics to a song;

Go Ham, Go Nuts, Go Ape s**t

Sorry, I'm off topic.

Best Regards,

Yes I do, which is why I'm offering the use of my apocalypse proof shelter to people wanting to survive this horrid disaster. For a small fee of course..

Gosh, I hope not! 8O

I just mortgaged my house and spent that, plus all my student loan money on beer, comics, and hookers. It's gonna take at least a week to get through it all... :oops:

Not likely. If past behavior holds true, then those who came up with this doomsday BS will either claim that the change was spiritual instead of physical; that the government is concealing the fact of our annihilation from us; or that they just got the math wrong, and that the real end of the world is going to be on some future date.

SSDD!

Oz doesn't count. We'll have to wait till it's 21st in the Mayan area.
