And that's about it.

The Mayan calender predicts no such thing. This is not the first time it has wrapped, it's just how it works.

Everyday is Doomsday in Mexico

bastian_74: The Mayan calender predicts no such thing.

Sure it does. It predicts the end of a predetermined amount of time.

In related news, the World will ALSO end:

1) In the year 3000
2) In the year 2020
3) In 2012
4) At the end of this January.
5) At the end of this week.
6) The first turn of the hour after supper.
7) A minute from now.
8) A second from now.

And of course:

9) It's already ended untold trillions of times since man started recording time.

Hey if I could find a way to make money off it I would. Maybe I should sell survival gear to people.

That's the aztec calender.....

Also the apocalypse in Mexico is EVERY day.

I watched a program last night and people are doing just that - stocking up food and other essentials, a guy is converting old missile silos into condos at at something like half a mil gets you 900 square feet. That was in the first part of the program - later on they went into why the entire idea is wrong and that the Mayan calendar refers to lots of dates way beyond December 2012. They never did go back to the folks at the beginning.

Mexico? Love Mexico! Well! except for the water. Now where is this Mayan temple?

I came across a web site where a guy was claiming that in 2012 we are going to cross the solar plane. Because of that were are going to be all stretched and squished and we are all going to die, basicallly. However, it was my lucky day as he was selling a book on how to survive this casatrophie. Maybe you too could write a book?

Allright, I have to know. What is the Architect doing playing a keyboard in a bayou?

I dunno, but last doomsday I was on a toilet in Mexico.

Meh... vacation in Mexico quite a bit. Not nearly as scary as Detroit.

Actually thinking about going to see the modern-day Tower of Babel, the Burj Khalifa before God notices it and gets all pissed off again.

I think, to celebrate 21/12/12, I will go on a killing spree, wiping from the Earth anyone stupid enough to continue repeating -- whether seriously or not -- that the day in question is "the end of days" (phrase as you wish).

I approve of anyone that can make a little money off anyone dumb enough to believe this.

Some guy the Colbert Report had on. He's convinced the Denver International Airport has something to do with phallic symbols and the end of days or something. Link (new window) The real fun starts about 3 min into the video.

My project for 2012 is going to be making this guy into an internationally recognizable meme.

Here's my first demotivational poster.

I can't wait to find out what those mexicans are up too.

Hey, I know what goes on in Mexico. I've seen the movie Touristas. And I don't want anything to do with it!!

THANK YOU!!!

/As a former student of Mesoamerican studies, that's one of my pet peeves, too.

bastian_74: The Mayan calender predicts no such thing. This is not the first time it has wrapped, it's just how it works.

Actually, it could be argued that this is the first time it has wrapped: the Mayans did indeed speak of it wrapping in the distant past, but the cycles are so long that the last time it would have wrapped was long before the Maya civilization was ever founded.

As you point out, though, wrapping doesn't mean the end of the world. We're going from the fifth wrap to the sixth, but at least one Mayan emperor was making plans as far as the 80th; clearly he wasn't expecting the world to end.

SnakeMan: If the Mayans were so smart, where'd they all go, hmmm? You don't see many of them around these days.

They became Catholics...

I don't think it will be the end of the world as survivalists want you to believe, more so the Mayans signifying the beginning of a new one. And it is a new world. Global networking, economies, what have you. We are becoming a global society and perhaps to the Mayans with perhaps enlightening predictions that we cannot conceive knew that would would turn into a global world at this stage.

Needless to say, I'm not gonna lie when I say I am at least going to keep a weapon and some clean water/food nearby on Dec 21st in case I am wrong and grossly underestimated the pessimism of some scholars.

Or the ignorant stupidity of your neighbors. My parents live a few houses over from a lady that believes EVERYTHING she was told by anything "psychic" related. This woman actually went out in her front garden buck-assed naked because of some stupid ritual she read about in a wiccan pamphlet. Apparently, she's on meds now and doesn't streak anymore. (She's in her 60's so it's a good thing). God only knows what she's gonna do that day, but my mom said she isn't answering the door that day.
