    first, i will not be doing my xmas shopping until the 22nd dec.

    i first need to get a candle blessed by the church, with 2 other boxes of them, a container of water to last 2 weeks, a portable gas heater for cooking and a cool box to store food in, a torch and a supermodel to get me by for 2 weeks!

    to be honest, i do feel something will happen on the 21st dec.don't know what it is but something, i can feel it.

    has anyone heard about the 3 pyramids lining up with the stars on the 3rd dec in 2012 as well?:rolleyes:

    the Mayan long-count calendar has rolled round 4 times since 01 AD. There is an unusual alignment this 21st of Dec though, pole shift at worst

    'Doomsday' rumours hit French village of Bugarach



    25 November 2012 Last updated at 09:03 Help
    A French village is preparing for an influx of mystical groups who are convinced they will escape the end of the world in 2012.
    Rumours have been circulating since 2010 that the village of Bugarach, with a population of 200, will provide shelter from an impending Armageddon.
    This is expected to be on 21 December 2012, the end of a 5,125-year-long cycle in the ancient Maya calendar.

    Every civilisation in history (except the Mayans) has believed the end of the world was iminent. We're no different. Expect some bible loon to crack some hidden bible code in the few couple years and predict another armageddon.

    Right, so nothing happens when we roll over to the next b'ak'tun.

    I betcha the end of the world is actually when we roll over into the first Piktun.

    Everyone, take a quick break, stretch your legs, have a cup of coffee, and we'll all meet back here for the real apocalypse on October 13th, 4772.
