you’re right. too bad your football team sucks. jk my football team sucks even more. if we could hold off on the apocalypse until the 49ers are good again— that would be much appreciated. just need, 20-30 years.

Maybe the Mayans foresaw Odumbass? Four years of him and his merry band of imbeciles just might end the world.

People who give these ghost stories any mind are silly.
The people who promote the end of the world theory of the Mayan calendar are being deceptive. The Mayan calendar is cyclic just like ours, they just counted on a very long timeframe and it ends and begins again just like our years.

Er... December 21...Got to remember not to waste my money on Christmas shopping that year!
To: nickcarraway
LOL!
Naaah...it’s just one of those annoying folk art things where you shift the months and numbers blocks around.
My mom has one and I mess with it every chance I get.

too bad your football team sucks.Well, they won a Super Bowl once in my lifetime, so I'm fairly satisfied. I mean, imagine being a Browns or Lions fan. But your boys have a storied history.

Self-described alien contactee and author Riley Martin has theorized a great mother ship could return in 2012.
I remember this nut on the Howard Stern Show(regular radio). What a loon.....

Of course this is all bogus, but I think I read somewhere that they did predict their own demise. I remember that from something I read as a child so take it for what it is worth. :)

Some scientists argue an alignment of our entire solar system will take place, though according to the journal Nature, it'll be another 30 million years before that happens.People are no doubt making such arguments. I think calling them scientists is inappropriate.
Kooks and weirdos is probably more appropriate.

If the Western Civilization and culture were as strong and confident today as they were 100 years ago, this Mayan Calendar nonsense would be a joke restricted to the likes of the WEEKLY WORLD NEWS. The End of Times, indeed!
To: Salamander
I wonder how long it’ll be before they slaughter the water buffalo on the WH grounds... maybe 12/20/2012 ?

Dec. 22, 2012, is when I'm going to start my Christmas shopping, just in case they're right I don't want to go through the hassle of shopping if it's going to end on the 21st. lol..
