"Nibiru and other stories about wayward planets are an Internet hoax," scientists wrote. "There is no factual basis for these claims. If Nibiru or Planet X were real and headed for an encounter with the Earth in 2012, astronomers would have been tracking it for at least the past decade, and it would be visible by now to the naked eye

What if it has a cloaking device? Seriously though, the idea of Nibiru came out long before the internet.

What if it has warp drive? then it could be ontop of us before we knew it. Seriously, the idea of warp technology came out way before the internet too.

I think Dec. 21st, 2012 just happens to be Winter Solstice, and the Mayans were pretty good at astronomical timetables.

From what I understand about the whole 2012 thing, without being boring and long-winded and explaining details, it's tied a belief that Earth has Ages that are tied to the Zodiac and that each Age is about 2000 years long. 2012 is supposed to be the end of the current "Great Year" which started I guess 24,000 years ago (2000 years for 12 Zodiac signs etc) and a new "Great Year" will be starting soon (moving from the Age of Pisces to the Age of Aquarius!)

In short it's like realizing December is the last month on your wall calendar and saying "OMG NO MORE MONTHS?! IS IT THE END OF TIME?!" No, it's just a new year, idiot.

Mr. Coffee Nerves: They couldn't have used a bigger rock?

1) they're not, the Yucatan and Central America are full of them.
2) the calender doesn't predict anything, it just ends at the point where the math stops working and a new one needs to be calculated
3) the 2012 date is a widely debunked mistranslation; it actually ends at some ridiculous time like the year 36000 or something.
4) can we please start getting our info about what ancient societies believed from the actual scholars who study them, and stop listening to what lazy, empty-headed crackpots like Daniken have to say about the subject? Please?

GAT_00: nekom: If the Mayans were so smart, how come they're dead?

Their civilization collapsed due to a 800-year drought and massive deforestation, they didn't all die.

Also, that isn't what the calender says at all. The Mayan calender does not predict the end of the world and it isn't even the end of a Long Count calender, which has happened 7 times before.

You're right, but it's fun to watch the idiots freak out, and then laugh at them uncharitably when the disaster/rapture/ragnorak/etc fails to happen.

12/21/12 will be our 21st anniversary. I am not sure if I should show up without a gift, or max out the credit cards. Either way I won't get yelled at for more than a day, with the end of the world and all. I hope the Mayans double checked their math.
