Haha!!! That is actually more a prophecy of doom for some people.

That is I think part of the problem of people wanting something to happen... because life seems so dull.

I often think though.. .that a teenager or young person who is excited about something catastrophic to happen wont cope very well if it does. They see the hollywood cool video game side of it.

I mean... it would be a different matter is there was a comet or massive earthquake and they watched their loved ones die... or had to endure a friend dying and watch as their intestines spill out all over the concrete because a breeze block fell on them. Or their parents being burned alive... or their sister or brother being decapitated and crying for their mamma or pappa.

This is the reality of a tragedy happening. But it would be so cool for a 'change'....

Grow up and accept life for what it is.

[Dreamshards]

Very true Bedeekin. I think a lot of people are just having fun with the idea but they really don't think anything catastrophic will happen, though I suppose many young people don't realize catastrophic events take place every day but as long as they aren't directly effected by it everything is okay. I still have hope that the human race will change for the better but I know it will not happen over night and that we are a far ways off. We have to keep making the most of every day and not looking forward to future events that will make everything better.

All this because a few very large lumps of physical matter are lining up?
What's the next call after the 21st?

[Bedeekin]

2023 I think... a meteor is coming flyby... perilously close to earth apparently... and then an asteroid in 28 years called asteroid 2011 AG5... apparently.

[Bedeekin]

Well... Sydney is already 5 hours into the 21st. I wonder how they're holding up. The 2012ers forgot about time zones I think.

[ChopstickFox]

Oh wow, I don't know whether to be entertained or embarrassed as part of the human species...

I am in Sydney, it is currently 9.48am.
Reporting, nothing unusual is happening in my part of town

To be fair, the Mayans were probably talking about the only part of the world they knew of (theirs), so can't say much till 21st is over in Central America / Mexico.

Although I am also not convinced that we with certainty understand how their calender translates into ours, so it is still all suposition upon suposition.

[daytona955]

Apparently we can translate the end of the Mayan Long Count to 11:11 GMT
Not quite sure how they worked it out to the minute, but GMT is my time zone, so I'll let you all know if I die. 

[Xanth]

I'm trembling in my bootstraps... *sigh*

[majour ka]

Let's face it if NASA did see a massive astroide for example appear and heading this way, would we get told ?

Most likely, anything of this type that 'hits' the planet... chances are very slim that anyone will see it coming until it was too late anyway.
There's so much crap flying around out there, it's impossible to track it all.

[Bedeekin]

Well... nothing. As expected.

It's all bullcrap! The Mayans weren't wrong because they didn't say anything.. they just had a calendar that ran out. Probably an indication of how clever they weren't.

[mon9999]

evolution/ascension is a gradual process.. its not something that suddenly happens in a designated date..

[Bedeekin]

But please please please... we/you aren't attributing this to 2012 are you?

It's just evolution... it's been going on for ever.

This is like someone prophesying a mountain is going to collapse on a certain date... then when it doesn't happen them saying... aaaah... but natural erosion will destroy it over a period of 24 million years.

[daytona955]

Lol! 

[Szaxx]

Hey, heres a spanner in the works.
The dinosaurs lasted millions of years and evolved into varied types. Their calendar ran out and a piece of rock saw to that.
We're getting there too. I hope our rock comes from Blackpool UK ...
Ok at what time GMT do we put on our crash hats lol.

[Bedeekin]

That's the trick isn't it... what time zone are we working on here?

Ha... Blackpool... how weird to read that on here.

anyway... still here.

[Stillwater]

It's all bullcrap! The Mayans weren't wrong because they didn't say anything.. they just had a calendar that ran out. Probably an indication of how clever they weren't.

Well mainly the Mayans were great astronomers, so their calender describes primarily astronomical events; the long count corresponds to the length of a "precesion" of the equinoxes cycle, where the equinoxes shift ever so slightly in date over centuries. I think they placed some significance at the beginings and ends of major cycles of their calender, so in that sense they did say something- that particular date was signifcant to them. Now significant how? There is much less available to figure that out. And as I said before, I don't believe they know with certainty when that date even does translate into our calenders.

But again, the calender is about astronomical events, and the sorts of people who care about those not for just their own sakes are pretty much only astrologers. So unless you put stock in astrology, this idea was probably never for you anyhow.

[daytona955]

Check this out lol! It's one hour behind GMT!!!!

"There are a number of December 21 2012 countdown clocks on the web, and they vary in accuracy from a few minutes to several hours or more. Many of these timers depend on the accuracy of your own computers internal clock. While others do not allow for man made time variations such as leap years, international time zones and daylight savings time.

There can only be one Official Countdown Timer
and we have it"
