On the plus side, if it isn't the end of the world, I don't think there will be any more widespread predictions. This is the big one, and all the doomsayers have put the remains of their credibility in this final prediction :p

The last chance to get dem ladies.

1. the calendar only goes to a certain point, the mayans did not say this meant the world would end at this point.

2. when that day is, therefore, is irelevant to even conspiracy theorist morons.

Bad news, guys. According to my "Majestic Mountains" calendar from DaySpring Publishing (sadly, they're actual mountains, not huge silicone titties), the world ends December 31, 2010!

It was never the end of the world to begin with. Can't believe people buy into this garbage.

I just found an old calendar under my bed, and apparently the world ended 4 years ago!

OMG! We're all dead! Just like in some shitty M. Night Shamalamalamalamalama movie!



Reasonable on 20 October 2010

All calendars are arbritary from the larger perspective when you think about it.  They were all developed without real understanding of the wider Universe and simply mark of time relative to nothing but Earth's orbit around the Sun and default to a certain point in time when they were created.

Add to that most older calendars have had adjustments or are based on research and it just becomes pointless.

The Mayan calendar is nothing special per se and I can't believe people actually belive it might fortell something.

They're handy for scheduling stuff and knowing when to plant crops, but too many people put waaaay too much store in anything ancient - as in reading more than historical curiosity and knowledge into them.



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

They predicted every solar eclipse upto modern times, i wouldn't call that nothing.
