    ok who believes in the mayans prediction the world will end this year?

    because i want be the first to pm you a happy new year message in 2013 :D

    nostradamus another wánker, what has he ever predicted? everything that seems to have happened. how people can decipher his mumbo jumbo to historical events shocks me.

    The millenium bug, yup we got out of jail there :rolleyes:

    When all our planets lined up and the earth was ripped apart, i must have slept through that one, fair play whoever peiced the earth back together, big thanks :)

    Quarn code, bible code... yawn! trying to make some very boring books interesting me thinks :p

    Scientists... the ozone layer is our grandchildrens problem not ours, anyways i heard one of BP sponsored scientist say its all scare moungering like zombies or testicular cancer, its not real :cool:

    the danish ancient Norse beliefs suggest the death of the ash heralds the end of mankind...

    actually isn't there something happening with ash trees at the moment? :o


    anyways why such obsession with the end of the world? :confused:

    * Possible thread belongs in ranting and raving

    Don't forget SARS, that was going to kill us all.

    Or at least make us turn Japanese, as one song had warned us.

    My calendar runs out on 31st December so that's when the world will end.

    Although I thought the same last year and it didn't, strangely.

    The myans used a different calander then we did; and they don't account for leapyears. So if I'm correct according to them, then the world should have ended a good few years ago.

    Probably the same people who believe in astrology and the like. Or the ones who watch Psychic Readings Live on TV3, but not for its comedic value.

    There is another way to view this "end of the world" thing: the World (our everything) travels one-way in Time. Therefore, the World which existed when I started this drivle is gone forever. The Mayans and even that loolah with the sandwich board are right. The World is constantly ending but we probably won't even notice!
    On a similar (but not really) topic, I also have a solution to the Creation vs. Evolution debate: A day is the time it takes for the Earth to complete one revolution. In the beginning, shortly after Big Bang, an Earth revolution might have taken 24 hours or 24 million of what we now call years. Six days (six Earth revolutions) could have taken billions (or RTE millions) of what we now call years, loads of time for God to make all of this stuff.
    Feel free to PM me for any more solutions to Life's mysteries.

    In fairness, if they had the foresight capable of predicting the end of the world, i'm sure they could have found out that we'd be using leap years aswell. In fact... they probably factored that into their equation so we are all actually buggered afterall! :pac:

    remote viewing tibetan oracle predicts we will go through 2 weeks of no electricity or communication and that we will be saved by et's before we kill ourselves by nuclear termination.

    http://brazilweirdnews.blogspot.co.uk/2012/11/2012-in-previsions-of-oracle-of.html

    it's amazing how western society dismisses all these predictions but the eastern world (less educated) believes in them.

    The earths rotation slowed down to 24 hours it was as fast as 3

    Oh well, back to the drawing board for me!
    Just so I'm clear, the sequence was Big Bang, Earth (and Sun) formed instantaneously and already spinning at 3 hours per revolution / day, gradually slowed to 24 hours per revolution / day? So God really had just 18 hours (3 x 6) and not 144 (24 x 6) hours to make everything? Wow! I was always a fan but now I see that God is 800% better than I thought.

    I guess my theory on the World constantly ending is also flawed?

    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:

    '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.

    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.
