Mayan calander ends in 2012 (along with my driver's license).
The Mayan are credited with being the best at Astronomy and apparently have predicted quite a bit of astrological shit. Don't know what. Anyway, since the calander ends in 2012, many have taken that to mean the world will end in 2012. Some say just an end to our current way of thinking. Whatever. It's something to do with 25,000 year cycles I think. So, of course, the Discovery Channel has latched onto this and has had so many 2012 shows on in the last couple of years, everyone equates that year with the end of the world. Or at least it's become a new way of saying Apocolypse. |

The Mayans picked 2012 cause the earth completes a wobble that takes 26,000 years to complete. Mayans picked the exact time the wobble is complete to stop making the calendar. That was thousands of years ago and the dude was probably standing there with a big ass rock for a hammer chiseling the calendar in stone and said fuck the next 26,000 my hand hurts. |

Or at least it's become a new way of saying Apocolypse. actually, the mayan calendar does not end in 2012. 2012 is a confluence of numerous calendars, including the "long count" calendar that the mayan's used. when this confluence occurred it was a major ordeal - kind of like the turn of the millennium. here's a quote from wikipedia: The Mesoamerican Long Count calendar forms the basis for a New Age belief, first forecast by José Argüelles, that a cataclysm will take place on or about December 21, 2012, a forecast that mainstream Mayanist scholars consider a misinterpretation, yet is commonly referenced in pop-culture media as the 2012 problem.

For example, Sandra Noble, executive director of the Mesoamerican research organization FAMSI, notes that "[f]or the ancient Maya, it was a huge celebration to make it to the end of a whole cycle". However, she considers the portrayal of December 2012 as a doomsday or cosmic-shift event to be "a complete fabrication and a chance for a lot of people to cash in." what makes 2012 interesting is that, according to NASA, 2012 will be a year of massive solar flares, as well the the pole reversal thing. as we know solar flares could cause a natural EMP, as occurred in canada back in the 80's, iirc. |

Obama could be elected a second term
or as stated above, the Mayans thought the world as we know it will end, planets and starswill be in proper alignment, earth torn assunder by violent storms, earth quakes, polar shifts, etc etc or the Creators will return and see how screwed up we are and burn the petri dish. and start over with a smarter form of chimp, fish, bird, lizard.. or Nancy Pelosi will overturn congress with a group of mercenaries and annouce that she is proclaiming herself Queen of Pelosiland and demand we bow to her and surrender all our blood and treasure to her whims or we discover BArney frank and Rosie O are one and the same,,

If the Mayans were so good at predicting things how come they couldnt do anything about their own downfall? +1 I get so sick of the doomsday bullshit. Just prepare as best you can and worry about the most logical SHTF scenarios, such as economic and political. |

I'll wait when the year comes and I will see where we stand. If Obama is still president then I would assume that we will be bowing down towards Mecca and calling each other "komrade". If it's nature driven event then solar flares from the sun would wreck havoc to anything electrical or electronic devices. |

Its all bullshit. I set my computers clock to Dec 20th, 2012 & when it rolled over to Dec 21st nothing happened. I`ve got to go. Thers some small gray salesmen at the door with real big eyes & oval shaped heads.
You see,  all the computers aren't programmed to register the year 2013... so ALL the computers in the world are going to shut down and we are gonna live in the dark ages again... so stock up on $40 AR mags and $15 MRE's and $600 a case ammo...
