what are your plans for december 21st?

lately it's been hitting me that december 21st is on it's way, and in my opinion I think there is reason for atleast some concern. the universe is an extremely mysterious thing and there are a lot of factors that keep this "earth" the way it is, any change of anything to do with the orbit of this planet or alignment of key components of this planet such as the sun is kind of freaky to think about.

I for one think that world-wide natural disasters is a possibility, and am starting to think what I might do to maybe try and stay safe incase massive earthquakes or flash-freezing does occur.

Right now all I can really think is trying to reach an area of higher altitude, I have a couple places in mind.. I just don't wanna die im so young

I may be paranoid, but honestly I don't think you can bash me for having an open mind about the mystery that is december 21st.

Your thoughts?

I don't plan for superstitious end-of-the-world prophecies.

If the end of the world is coming, there is nothing I can do about it one way or the other, so there is no point in spending my days worrying about it.

If it is not coming, then it doesn't matter.

If my days are spent ruled by fear, then I don't consider that living, and living is what I intend to do with what life I have left.

As usual, I'll be at work.

I'll be buying a new pair of Nikes and Drinking the Kool Aid on the 20th...

nothing is gonna happen... you can quote me on this on the 23rd... as for me i'll be smoking and drinking with friends just for the hell of it... maybe buy into the whole end of the world thing just to have a little bit of fun!

smoking, as always.

A bunch of astrology-advanced for their time primitives ran out of room on their circular stone to make days/months/year so they just said "fuck it, this is end of world".

Actually dec 21 2012 marks the sun making a full cycle, just like the earth makes a full cycle every 365 days, nothing happens when earth makes a full cycle, expect the same with the sun.

I'm gonna be sitting outside all day watching NOTHING happen.

Are you serious?? I cant believe the limits to which some people will go to in an attempt to believe the supernatural. The Maya (not that Mayan, as everyone likes to call them) had a number system calender based entirely on the amount of fingers and toes they had - how can this have any relevance to the end of the world? Not to mention -

Sitting around, half pissed because people will be up my ass over Christmas.

Nope I ain't gonna bash you. I fear the same. Eugenics lot need to SLASH human population, that's FACT! we are,have been and will be scared into submission. My 17yr old daughter is petrified about 21st! The planet has been fuckin lost........RUN!

Fear or preparation? I BET the kid starting this is prepared .....how bout YOU? is being "ready" wrong? Is a fear unhealthy? Is flouride clouding your judgment.? Cmon wake up mr Anderson.

Hmm really, the facts say otherwise! They DID plan the calendar later, printers fucked it.

this is like a "backup plan" to keep the fear going if the world doesn't end on dec 21st, which it won't.

didn't that one crazy old priest do the same thing a few months ago?

We know the maya understood the cyclical routine of earth. The reason for THEIR calendar came when "UGG" realised the rumbles in the earth, the storms in the sky, the blood from the stones ( lava) were/are ALL attached to the stars, they are "written " if you will! The reason their timeline stops is probably due to the end of the mapped cycle. BUT there's been multiple cycles I think.

Don't know about the rest of you, but I will be going to work and looking forward to 5pm for the standard Friday arvo drinky.

If the world should happen to implode before or after I have my drinky, I will still die a happy man..........as long as it doesnt involve flames or some little worm thing bursting out of my chest..

Oh and Bhhhaaaaahhhhh (thats the sound of a sheep)

Dont believe everything you read or see on TV.....

My 2 cents.

Sorry.. where are the facts to back up this claim, and even with the facts, how does that relate to the Earth ending in anyway - and how could someone predict that from knowing the storms in the sky (due to highly charged particles) rumbles in the earth (due to tectonic plates shifting - unrelated to storms) and due to lava flowing (volcanic eruptions caused from pressure in the earths molten core, again unrelated) and finally the stars in the sky - which are lightyears away, so far that even their gravity is nothingness on our planet.

My sources tell me :

It is likely that the Mayan calendar did not originate with the Maya, but rather originated in a previous culture and that other cultures such as the Aztec in turn also derived their calendar from similar sources.

The original purpose of devising such a calendar, with no obvious relation to any astronomical or geophysical cycle, is not known, but there are several suggested sources. A common idea is that the length of the calendar was based on multiplying 13 and 20, which were important numbers to the Maya. Twenty was the basis of the Maya counting system, and was taken from the number of human fingers and toes.

Another idea is that the 260-day period came from the length of human pregnancy. This is close to the average number of days of gestation. It is also possible that the number 260 was noted as being a repeating pattern for some combination of the above reasons. Humans are good at finding patterns even where none exist.

the Maya likely inherited the Tzolkin and perhaps the Haab from preceding cultures. These calendars were used throughout the region, and it is likely that all of the contemporaries of the Maya inherited their calendars from common or similar sources. That source is frequently identified with the Olmecs, although there is considerable debate about them as the originator of the calenders. Other potential sources are sometimes cited as the Zapotec and Mixtec cultures.

Claims of accuracy and precision are specious because they are comparing apples and oranges. The Gregorian calendar is primarily a solar calendar. The Haab was primarily a solar calendar. The Tzolkin, 'Calendar Round' and 'Long Count' calendars are not solar calendars. We will compare the modern Gregorian calendar with the Haab and see just how accurate it was.

No solar calendar ever devised can do away with some form of leap days (or "intercalary days"), for these simple reasons:

There is not an integer number of days in a year (365.2524 days per year)8
There is not an integer number lunar cycles in a year (12.3683 lunar cycles per year)9
There is not an integer number of days in a lunar cycle (29.53059 days per lunar cycle).10

Some say the end is near.
Some say we'll see Armageddon soon.
I certainly hope we will.
I sure could use a vacation from this

Bullshit three ring circus sideshow of
Freaks

I have no plans for it at all.
In fact, I laugh at the doomsayers.
To assume that it will be the end of the world because the Mayans or whoever the originator was of the calender stopped or ceased to continue is simply an assumption.
I think word of mouth and the media are over-hyping it.
