Did you know Mayans got high and gave themselves enemas of beer?


Yeah, we're relying on them to tell us the future.
A lot of people in highly-esteemed positions in our society today probably did somewhat similar things in college.

Never mind probably: definitely is the better way of putting it.

For the last time, the Mayan 2012 prediction is not a doomsday prophecy. There is nothing archaeologists have found that point to 2012 being the "end of the world" to the Mayans, it is simply the end of their "Long Count" Calendar. December 21, 2012 is the day the cuff of the Milky Way is aligned with the ecliptic.

The world will NOT end in 2012.

I wish people would stop saying that it is and just get on with their lives instead of living in fear. And no, I'm not being ignorant.

Yeah, it's basically Y2K all over again, just not as exciting.
y2k was just a number. There's not really anything noteworthy of the number
2012, is there? (except for the date, 12/21/12)

The Mayan calendar didn't END. They didn't "get lazy" and just stopped
after 2012, because (from wiki):

But the Maya certainly did not take it as representing the end of the current world, since an inscription by Pacal at Palenque looks forward to a royal anniversary on October 15, 4772
Direct your attention to bolded year. four-thousand-seven-hundred-seventy-two.
I'm no scientist, but I'd take a wild guess and say that they weren't planning on any
form of an "Apocalypse" in 2012... There's a completely different jump between
"total wipeout/end" and "new beginning".

Anyway, whatever-billion years, we'll be living on the not-so-inhospitable Mars,
then move our way farther off in to the Galaxy, safe from the devastating effects
of a burning sun (which will eventually suck us in), or human kind is too
stupid and will eventually be wiped from the universe.

There are some other events that are planned on December 2012...
Spoiler:
From Wikipedia, of course.

I'll make sure I oppose something on December 3rd, 2012. Mark my words.

Well, whatever. I really don't care whether we die tomorrow or 50 years from now.
