    Sorry if this has been done already but its only 40 days away!
    Countdown Clock

    What do you guys think?

    For me, I believed it until I heard that the Mayans didn't account for the leap year....meaning the world should have ended years ago!

    That's why I'm offering apocalypse insurance, pm for details. :D

    I think something might happen....but it wont be anything serious,...no natural disasters or anything...

    What do you think?

    Oh sorry, was this discussed recently? feel free to lock if so,

    Yeah I'd say there could be some solar storms...they were predicted to peak in 2012...and they've already done some damage, so I'd expect more to come

    Ugh, not this crap again. The world doesn't end on December 31st every year, this is exactly the same thing. The Mayan Long Count calendar has rolled over several times in the past...

    1.0.0.0.0 November 13, 2720 BCE
    2.0.0.0.0 February 16, 2325 BCE
    3.0.0.0.0 May 21, 1931 BCE
    4.0.0.0.0 August 23, 1537 BCE
    5.0.0.0.0 November 26, 1143 BCE
    6.0.0.0.0 February 28, 748 BCE
    7.0.0.0.0 June 3, 354 BCE
    8.0.0.0.0 September 5, 41 CE
    9.0.0.0.0 December 9, 435
    10.0.0.0.0 March 13, 830
    11.0.0.0.0 June 15, 1224
    12.0.0.0.0 September 18, 1618
    13.0.0.0.0 December 21, 2012
    14.0.0.0.0 March 26, 2407
    15.0.0.0.0 June 28, 2801
    16.0.0.0.0 October 1, 3195

    If this crap was true then we should have had several apocalypses by now.

    I can't believe people swallow the fact that the Mayan people, or anyone for that matter could pin point the day of the apocalypse.

    Sick of arguing with people over the science that disproves it. Yet my father in law is still organising an end of the world party.

    People are stupid.

    It is a nice little business, same people cashing in on it that probably profitted from the Y2K phenomena back in 2000, same fools believing and parting with their cash probably too.

    If only, end of the world. What a good thing. I remember talking to my boss about it. He never heard of it. He had a good year and could only think of how it was to go out on a high.

    Which in itself tells you how likely it would ever happen.

    Is this the same Mayans in Sons of Anarchy? I'd say its probably bullsh1t. They are always up to something. Jax and SAMCRO are too smart for them! Don't worry about it folks.
