Eh, the 2012 thing has gotten a bit old. I'm just curious about what the new date for the end of the world will be.
Didn't they figure out that 2012 was actually the wrong year? Anyway I'm not worried at all. If the world ends then I'm dead and everyone I know is dead so I don't care and if it doesn't then I keep on being me which is okay by my books.Ace6301Correct. Their calendar actually ended like 70-something years ago.
Correct. Their calendar actually ended like 70-something years ago. The apocalypse fetishists will just set a new date. They can only live in a world with a definite and near ending.[QUOTE="Ace6301"]Didn't they figure out that 2012 was actually the wrong year? Anyway I'm not worried at all.

31st of December 2099, the day the Windows 7 calender ends.
Beware of the appocalyspe asprophesied by our lord Bill Gates!
Randomly found this..
Supposedly the Mayan calender IS ending on December 21, 2012, but that just means that their new "millennium," or "Baktun," as the article states, is beginning (sort of like January 1, 2000), not that the world is going to end.
More summarizing: They did NOT account for leap years; their "Baktuns" are made up of 400 Mayan Tuns (or years), and their "years" only lasted 360 days, so that means their "Baktuns" last 144,000 days.
Also going to throw in that the last Baktun was on September 18, 1618. "Obviously the world didn't end."
What do you guys think about this? Seems legit to me lol.

It actually make sense, I mean they the calendar just stopped. It didn't say exactly "the world is going to end on this day." y'nkow? So it seems pretty legit to me honestly. I'm not too worried about it.

Really, whenever the world is going to end, if we're told ahead of time, you can bet the world will both go into full chaos, and be one of the biggest parties ever!
If the world ends it ends...not much we can do. Doubt it will happen though I'm pretty sure the human race has a couple of million more years left yet.
I shouldn't believe most things i hear, but i go by what my 8th grade science teacher told me:
The world will end billions of years from now when the sun burns out and the world slowly starts to lose all life, and commence a 2nd ice age.
she could be wrong, who knows?
She is wrong. The earth will be progressively burned to a crisp as the sun gets hotter and starts expanding into it's red giant phase. Most estimates have the sun either ending up just short of earth, or consuming the charred rock that will be all that's left of it whole. Humanity will have perished long before the red giant phase.I shouldn't believe most things i hear, but i go by what my 8th grade science teacher told me:

The mayans didn't have leap years and certainly they didn't care about our calendar. The 21st of december of 2012 date is extrapolated from their calendar to ours taking into account leap years too. So the 21st of december date is the accepted date of the end of the 13th bak'tun by scholars. But the scholars also agree the mayans were not expecting the end of the world to happen. The date was a pretty big deal for them though but in other places they predicted events happening after this date even 2000 years from now. So we can safely say they didn't expect the world to end..

this.It's already been documented that the calender didn't include leap years and actually ended years ago.

they also found new mayan calander
and if i were to take a shot in the dark 2012 was probably when the dinosaurs get pwned
just my two cents

I have seen this alot and I have to address it. It makes me laugh that it comes from failblog, because the reason it is on failblog shouldn't be because of what the author states, but shoud be because the author doesn't understand the Mayan calendar system... don't believe this. The Mayan calendar doesn't need leap years, they're not using our calendar system, it's not based on solar cycles, but on days. Our calendar system needs leap years because we try to fit days perfectly into a solar cycle, think about it, if you don't try to fit days into a solar cycle, then why would you need leap years? Don't believe this image. Now, whether or not the exact date is right could be argued, but not with this argument, since it is completely invalid. Don't believe this image.
Not worried, since I know it ain't gonna end on that day. In fact, my baby's scheduled for December 21st. No joke.

Dude, if a person is in risk of committing suicide, it's going to happen whether or not they believe the world will end on december 21st. Jus' sayin'.I'm worried at how many dumb people will commit suicide...
