Lu Zhengai is so scared by the Mayan apocalypse, that’s he’s spent all his money - $160,000 - on building his very own Noah’s Ark....another Chinese man spent two years creating a very different Noah’s Ark – a tough, buoyant yellow ball, perhaps better designed to cope with tsunamis and giant ocean swells than Lu’s flat bottomed barge.... Meanwhile in France, believers in the apocalypse have flooded to Pic de Bugarach, a mountain in the south west of the country, convinced that when doomsday strikes a space ship may burst out of the hillside and aliens will carry them off to safety....

....“The Maya long count system is like a car odometer. My first car only had six wheels so it went up to 99,999.9 miles. That didn’t mean it would explode after reaching 100,000 miles”

He managed to save $160,000 in China?

Interesting.

The Chinese “Miller’s Tale”

[Utmost Certainty]

After Dec. 21st comes and passes without incident, this guy is going to have many nights sleeping on the couch for blowing all that money.

If the guy would read the Bible, he wouldn’t waste his time building an ark. The next time the world is destroyed, it will not be by flood. Instead, Mr. Lu would be better off doing a Chinese fire drill.

[Telepathic Intruder]

The Mayans didn’t account for leap years, so their calendar has already ended. There is one person most responsible for this hoax: Nancy Lieder. She claimed a hypothetical rouge planet called Nibiru would pass through the inner solar system in 2003 and wipe out 2/3 of the population. When this didn’t happen, she just changed the date to 2012 in order to get a few more years of ill-deserved fame. She claims to channel aliens from Zeta Reticuli through an implant in her head. People have actually killed themselves over this. This lady should be in jail for spreading panic, especially if there are any more deaths.

an end-of-the-world American preacher, who believed Jesus Christ would reappear and the world would end on May 27, 2012.

I am an "end-of-the-world preacher," since the Bible tells me to be. For instance, my sermon this past Sunday (for the Last Sunday of the Church Year) was called "The End of the World's Coming." However, I put the "end-of-the-world" theme within the context of the whole Christian message, and, further, I am not so silly as to try to put a date on the end of the world, since Jesus specifically says that that is something we cannot know.

The world will end.
This I know,
for Art Bell
has told me so.

Ironically on December 22 Lu Zhengai's ark will be struck by lightning and he will be the only fatality in the Mayan apocalypse.

After November 6, the Mayan apocalypse is looking pretty good.

Maybe that's why it's disappeared from the History Channel--it was making Obama look bad.

[MNlurker]

This would actually be a reasonable investment if he lived downriver from the Three Gorges Dam...don’t need to worry about what the Mayans thought when you have the Chinese government building things for the good of the people.

That Mayan rock carver might have known what he was talking about. It sure looks like TEOTWAWKI these last couple weeks. That or he ran out of rock.

[Eye of Unk]

Should have just bought a Russian Kilo class sub instead.

Doomsday usually starts at 100,000 miles because that is when the big problems start to show up.
