What is it with humans and our stupid obsessions with the world ending?
For those of you who don't know, the Mayans met some nice visitors near the end of their lives. They were the Spanish. You know, the ones who went to war with them and the other two empires over their stupid "god"? The ones that KILLED ALMOST ALL OF THEM.
That's why the calendar stops. It has nothing to do with the world ending.
It's not going to happen.

Except that plenty of other civilizations also end their calender on the same day. Although I don't believe the world will 'end'. There is an astronomical event happening on that day (Alignment of the Sun, Earth, and the Center of the Milky Way), but it's nothing major. I'm guessing those ancient civilizations saw that alignment as a sign, even though it doesn't mean much in the end. Although theoretically, that alignment could have an effect such as pole shifting or climate changes (For all we know, it could be the cause of Global Warming).

And yet I'm still going to miss Christmas. Crap!  Honestly, we're not all going to die. Jeez, it's not like the Mayans were psychic.

It is hard to write a calendar if you're dead.

http://www.instituteforhumancontinuity.org/I saw an ad for this the other night. If you're worried about the world ending, this is probably your best bet.

Let me make this topic simpler....
On December 21st 2012, it will be the first day of winter. That will be that. I will still wake up that morning, and go to bed that evening.
And ZOMGA, GET THIS PART
The next day, I will do THE SAME THING AGAIN BECAUSE 2012 IS A LOAD OF HORSE s***!

OMG.. I just discovered that something alot worse than the end of the world will happen in 2012... We will get older and become 2 years closer to our death  Seriously nothing will happen, It is the same thing when they said we will be able to travel like star trek in 1999 and the world will end in 2000 it is a BIG horse s#%$&.

You, be a senior? I think you need to aim a little lower.
