i confidently predict that the sun will rise on the 22nd of december 2012, that the earth will continue to turn around its axis and the shops will moan again how bad sales have been in the run-up to christmas

the 22nd of december 2012 falls on a saturday - if you're really going to work on a saturday then you're either mighty keen, you're in deep shit with the boss, or you're self-employed

Hopefully by this very day the last of these moronic numbnuts predicting that The Universe/The life as we know it/the rest will END/change forever/convert to peanut butter will die a horrible slow and painful death.

Just because by setting some arbitrary point in time as the refrence for our calendar and the fact that some numbers appear somewhat privileged to those with just under half a brain these pea-brains are tempted to predict the EXTRAORDINARY!!!!!! HEAR YE, HEAR YE............

What a load of bull**** and what an enormous wast of time and energy Evil or Very Mad

Since this is a scientific forum I would like to ask what does science say happened last time this event established by the Mayas took place.

Thanks.

A friend told me that the reversal of the poles with erase our memory. He is pretty into science, and is serious in school and his work, but I can't imagine that actually happening. Is there any truth in what he said?

The reversal does not happen over night, only relatively fast in geological terms. So even if memory does have some magnetic component to it (doubt it), we should all be ok.

Of course, the correct end of the world date doesn't come for another twelve hundred and two years. This is based on the scientific certainty that the year will be 3...2...1...0. Very Happy

Global genocide, mass hysteria, and a shit load of aliens, me hoping to have that day off (damn terrorists need to take a break for a while or just die) to get some down time with whatever end of the world video game they got out then (HALO 5) (DOOM 12). Because that's about as close to the end of the world as I think any will get. Laughing Very Happy

But of course after this time frame. Someone is going to claim miss calculation and then come up with some other half-ass theory with a date involving the end of the world. Shocked Cool

But my pesonnal guess would be 2008 April 20. Will the world end, will Mac be in deep shit with his boss? Stay tuned for futher updates about 4 years in the future. Twisted Evil Very Happy

Live for the present. Sleep EAt Live it up.

No worrys about the future. Very Happy Cool

And thats proably why I wont live that long. Wink
