December 21, 2012 is the day before Pat turns 11. He’ll miss his invitation to Hogwarts if the world ends!
Mayan 1: “How long do we have to keep chiseling this friggin calendar?”
Mayan 2: “I dunno. Why don’t we take it to the end of 2012 and call’r done.
Unless Congress passes an Anti-Sundial-Price Gouging law.
Good point. I’ve heard “theories” that 2012 will be the ‘return’ of the Maya.
Where they were and what they were doin’ I have no idea.
Wot a freakin genius. So what if it’s leftist bilge?
They were off about 15 years when it came to “Galactic Alignment”:
“In fact there is an alignment between the Sun and the Galactic Equator at the time of Winter Solstice, but it has already happened. It happened back in 1997 [21st December 1997 AD 14h 43m GMT]”

Regarding the 5126-year Long Count, did anything catastrophic happen last time there was a new Long Count back in 3114 BC?
Im pretty sure the other date they had listed was the day a white bearded man would come from the east. That was the exact day Cortez showed up and conquered Montezuma.
Somewhere I’ve got a picture of the stone the message its taken from It describes someone appearing and bringing something with him on that day, but then the corner of the stone is chipped off.
gen 1:14 ...”Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be fore SIGNS, and for seasons, and for days, and years.”
Yeah, sure they are - these were the ones never used by the folks too dumb to buy them from me back in ‘99. I can send you a case or two of bottled water if you need some. Just send me a chunk of your gold buillion, OK?
How is it that our 3 wives have shopped at the same darned place, spent thousands, and still have “nothing to wear”?
(((sigh)))
I have Lee Jeans and shirts from 11yrs ago, which will wear just fine-and-dandy, as well as sport coats/suits/knit ties, which do the same. Effortlessly.
How’s that work, ladies?
$64 TRILLION question, I guess...
No; don’t answer it and get yourselves into any trouble.
Remember Y2K ?
While we’re attacking frontally,
Watch Brinkally and Huntally,
Describing contrapuntally
The cities we have lost.
No need for you to miss a minute,
Of the agonizing holocaust.
- Tom Lehrer, “Song for WWIII”
A funny little tune, as a matter of fact I have a copy of it if you (or anyone else) is interested. Freepmail me your email addy if you’d like me to send it to you. ;)
Neither. Either will be a one-term President; McCain from age, and Obama because he'll be thrown out faster than you can say “Jimmy Carter.”
“Don’t ask...don’t tell...
Yep. That prophecy has nothing to do with us, but don't let that stop you from thinking it's about you (a Carly Simon song comes to mind...).
I don't mind telling you and anyone else who might be interested that I firmly believe that many of us will live long enough to see the literal Second Coming of Christ, and I expect to be one of them.
People have thought that for centuries, and they've been wrong. Are you smarter than they were?
Isn’t this the same year the Dutch are planning some worm hole experiment?
link? I have a soft spot for worm hole/space traversal articles..
;-)
Where the hell did the “Mayans” “GO” anyway?
Hey, thanks for the welcome! I’ve jumped in with both feet as you can see.
And after researching, I realized it was about CERN and a scientist estimating it would take 50 months for a black hole or worm hole (I can’t remember which now) to consume the Earth or Universe.
Here is an article about CERN

Sorry for the excitement. I was just half joking.
