    Still Here and way past midnight!

    But the Mayans are from Central America so it is based UTC-6 and it is only 10 am their time.

    Can't be too optimistic.

    Whoever wrote the calendar died before his time and there were no other astrologist around to finish the work.

    It is good they cannot be trusted. If they are trustworthy, we would not be sitting here and typing on our keyboard.

    I had a visitation last night from an ancient Mayan - and he said will you guys stop dissing his calendar please ?

    It doesnt prophesy any ending, any more than your cars odometer on you car "rolling over from the 120,000s to 130,000" does.

    I have to go and think of another fictitious story to tell on Youtube now. The videos I made about the end of the world earned my lots of advertising money from the millions of views over the lats few years, and now the only income I have is the hundreds of people coming online to tell me how stupid I am. So embarra$$ing !!!

    Why the fuss anyway- we print up tens of millions of these things every year:

    No one is going around worrying about the world ending in a week.
    Or are they...:eek:

    We have passed through the galactic plane and we're still here...d@mnit!

    How is it the Mayans could not only predict such an event but calculate it's occurance to the very second, and yet be so wrong about the outcome? To make matters worse Nostradomus and the I Ching are completely useless to me now. Well it's back to the Sunday paper and reading my astrological sign to keep me out of trouble... at least they're real.

    Sucked in - " Earth won’t be physically passing through the plane of the Milky Way galaxy for another 30 million years. However, Earth will cross the galactic equator in 2012. As seen from the sun, the Earth does this every year – twice. "

    i went fishing this morning and caught nothing. the fish have all gone . does this mean there is a black hole opening under the sea and sucking everything in . could be a new excuse for my lack of fish in the freezer.
