You both are really really sick for being into extreme necrophilia.



Seriously??

Jesus, do I really have to put up with 4 years of people talking about this?

Nothing to be afraid of unless you don't like higher dimensions.

It's gonna be like all the crap that was on tv from 1996 onto 2000. It was all "oh the world is gonna end!" and junk. Nostradamus predicted a lot of stuff, some came true(kinda, because he used VERY loose terms, and never really named names), but most of his stuff didn't. Either way, if the world is gonna end in 4 years, me worrying about it isn't changing shit. I'd rather have fun and enjoy the next few years, and if there's a 2013, all the better, as i won't have wasted the last 4 years worrying about it. If it does end, well, i guess i will find out if i was right about the afterlife or not a little sooner than i planned.

As for the mayan calendar ending, it could be that they just decided to stop it on that day, cuz the guy who was making it died or something, or just got lazy and stopped.

Exactly - at least with Y2K there was some scientific worry behind why people thought things would be screwed up (only that was just part of it, and the media completely failed to help people understand the issue).

This is just complete hooey - the Mayan calender ended in 2012 because of that day's *astronomical* significance. Everything in their astronomical knowledge was based around geometry. On 12-21-2008, the Earth's orbit aligns with the Milky Way's equator on the date of the Winter Solstice. It's no coincidence their calender began and ended on a Solstice with elliptical significance. This conjunction only happens once every 26,000 years, so the fact that they calculated out the next one (thinking the stars to have major importance in their religion) should surprise no one. Their calender would have started back at 0 on 12-22-2008 and carried the next significant date as Winter Solstice 28008.
