Well this apocalypse sucked.

The end of the world just isn't what it used to be. Even the internet isn't going loopy trying to explain why they're still here. When's the next doomsday/rapture? It might prove more interesting.

I dunno, it's not over yet.

What bout those time zones that GMT -6/7/8. There's plenty of time for people in those time zones to press the big red button.

My Dairy Diary finishes on January 6th 2013. Perhaps it's then?

Maybe the Mayans did not account for leap years?

Perhaps, there is time yet?

Putting on MIB sunglasses...:cool:

It could be that the world did end and a new one took it's place.

As far as I know, they counted days. So 29th Februarys would still be counted. Still bs

The apocalypse didn't want us :rolleyes:

IMHO the easiest way is to just type in the tags manually

[noparse]This is a link <-- How to embed a link

[img]http://flickr_or_whatever.com/myimage.jpg[/img] <--How to embed a picture

[/noparse] <-- How to embed a YouTube video


If you have a picture on your PC's hard drive that's not hosted anywhere, you can upload it to imageshack, flickr, or similar and then use the URL of the image within the [noparse][img][/img][/noparse] tags.
Or you can attach it to the post, preview your post, copy the URL of the attachment from your previewed post, paste it into your post between [noparse][img][/img][/noparse] tags, and then submit. Simples

(I figured out how to do this from looking at Robin's posts, he does it all the time and it's less hassle than uploading to imageshack etc. )

Ah ha! Thanks ninja - you're a star. I was leaving out the / in the last brackets. Couldn't think why it wasn't working cos someone taught me before (*coughs* - maybe you did?!) and I managed it then. I'm copying your post so I'll have it to hand next time I forget!

Sarky

Of course, belief that the apocalypse happened is dependant on God deciding what your belief quotient for an apocalypse will be. So if you're satisfied that the world has ended, then obviously it did :pac:

Actually, because the Mayans didn't have leap years (which were introduced by Caesar in 45 BC), by their calender, the world should have technically ended some time last year. So yeah. :P

Anyway, the next round of apocalypses are 19 May 2013, courtesy of Ronald Weinland, 2020 from Jean Dixon and then 2129 by Said Nursi.

Personally, I'm taking the safe bet on the world ending in the year 5,000,000,000 when the sun explodes. Because......you know, science?

:pac:

There's also 2060 as "predicted" by Isaac Newton.

Of course in reality he said that the apocalypse couldn't happen before 2060 as per his study of the bible. But shrewd book writers will be able to take that vague connection to a famous, known name and make a few bucks out of it.

Supported by the bible and a famous science guy? This one must be the real deal...

The Sun is too small to explode. It will turn into a Red Giant and incinerate the planet. Where's your fancy science now, eh?

They counted in days not years, so leap years would still get counted anyways

It was like say 140,000 days left. And modern scientists converted that to the Georgian calendar.

The end of the world was much better when I was a young un. We had proper summers too. :mad:

Was out having dinner with a friend a few years back, and her non-native mum sat opposite and regaled me at high-pitch, high-speed and with stupefying tedium about some impending apocalypse which she'd learned about from the guru who'd invested a great deal of time travelling about her highly-strung country, banging on about it, collecting money etc. Can't remember what his name was, but when she eventually stopped to draw breath after boring everybody unconscious, the following conversation ensued:

Me: When did this guru had first produce his doomsday-warning?
Her: Oh, 1998.
Me: And the apocalypse is in 2013?
Her: Good heavens, yes, how do you know?
Me: They always pick fifteen years. No idea why. Think it's close enough to worry people, but far enough away that there's enough time to become really rich.

Probably should have kept my mouth shut, but there you go. I suppose it must have been Mr Weinland.
