Let the hype begin!

Let's meet right here again a year +1 from now and have a good laugh.

The countdown to the apocalypse is on. We're one year away from Dec. 21, 2012, the date that the ancient Mayan Long Count calendar allegedly marked as the end of an era that would reset the date to zero and signal the end of humanity.

See you on the other side!

A lot of money is going to change hands from the stupid to the smart.

Who was it that opined, “The Mayan calendar doesn’t predict The End. It’s just that whoever was compiling it got bored with the tedium and said, “That’s enough. Somebody else can take it from here.”, and no one did.

If Obama loses the election then a pissed-off, lame-duck marxist who despises this country will still be in office on Dec. 21, 2012

The short period of time between the election and the new president taking the oath would be the most dangerous period in our history.

[Peter from Rutland]

The only thing that is going to really stink is the panic that’s going to occur around that time. Get the Christmas shopping done early and stay off the roads to avoid the idiots.

What if it ends, then starts right up again? Will we realise or remember it, or just think it was another hoax?

On Dec 21, 2012, Obama will have had a little over a month to stew in his humiliating, crushing and unexpected defeat at the hands of the American people.

He’ll still be Commander in Chief.

He’ll still have the nuclear ‘football’. Just sitting there. Staring at him. Taunting him. Daring him...

[Dr. Ursus]

I predict alot of end of the world parties next year!

[LibLieSlayer]

Just another BS y2k scam.

"there have been similar dire warnings about the world coming to an end from various cultures, including Native Americans, the Chinese, Egyptians and even the Irish"

What, when the Guinness factory burned?

And we´ll all eat our neighbors just like they did.

Nice knowing you all :0

We're one year away from Dec. 21, 2012, the date that the ancient Mayan Long Count calendar allegedly marked as the end of an era that would reset the date to zero and signal the end of humanity.

If the ancient Mayans are right, it means I will win the lottery on Dec. 20, 2012.

I saw a show years ago that said that some writing they found in the great pyramid said that this current pope would be the last one and his health is supposed to be failing so maybe.......

How many remember the disaster that was supposed to occur on 05/05/2000 when most of the planets would be in alignment (on the far side of the sun) and the combined gravitational pull would tilt the earth and kill everybody.

12/21/12 is of the same stuff.

I remember reading when all the faithful burned their homes and clothes and went atop a hill in Europe and awaited the Millennium in the year 1000. Oops.

And then there was the Ray Bradbury tale about the coming end of the world, so this family killed their kids to prevent them from suffering. Later, the scientists said "Oops!"

[RobinOfKingston]

I’m so glad I was born when I was, and am able to live through the end of the world. What a story to tell my future descendants.
