2012: What will happen?

[infinite monkey]

Uh...yeah, it's happenin'! Sorry about that.

[plthijinx]

perhaps. i have my voters registration card so i'm eligible to give my opinion, in texas you can register even if you've done time. and yes i will vote. won't be for him. just sayin.

yes, things are going to happen, and the world is going to change!

mostly because things always happen and the world always changes. but this time around, according to millions of crazy nutbags (no offense), its all going to be because its 2012. sure if you look world wide then you'll find natural disasters every year, but this year if their are any then it will be exactly what the mayans meant. not to mention the people who believe that 2012 is a good turn of events - they really can put anything on the table - even if its a horrible year for the economy and global politics and natural disasters and beloved aunt Marry died, it all brought the families closer together and brought humanity a step closer to peace and harmony on earth.

the result being, in order for the prophecy to not come true in the minds of those who believe in it, this will have to be a remarkably unremarkable year.

what will almost certainly happen: a few cult sucides, a few terrorist attempts, and millions of teenagers will loose their virgnity with the line from independence day.

I don't think the mayans will be any more accurate than Harold Camping was.

Maybe the area where the Mayans lived is going to be blown up by a big volcano or something, or even get hit by an asteroid!

[DucksNuts]

The Mayans from SOA?? I'd be happy with that

Perhaps everything will remain just as it is ... FOREVER! Maybe time will come to a standstill thereby alleviating the need for calendars. It would be quaint to have that moment recorded on our watches though I bet people who paid extra for perpetual calendar watches would sure feel foolish; unless, of course, they had one of these ...

Yes. Except for the broken shift key.

Thanks!

I hope to move back to Maine someday.

The end and beginning of the Tzolkin and the Grand Conjuction will usher in a new era of peace and prosperity for all in which we will bask in the glow of our outer space alien overlords ...

Meh.

The last time the long count completed a cycle, the Spaniards came to the New World ... so in a sense the world did end for the Mayans, by changing it in a such a significant way their world view couldn't contain it.

What does that mean to us? That the aliens that have been joyriding around our planet will finally come to land?

Or does it just mean, like it does to us every 365 days that it's time to get a new check register and a calendar and we'll be good to go until we have to do that again. But, like the ending of every calendar year, it's a good time to reflect on where we've been and what we've done and what we'd like to do better this coming year.

I like the idea of better. And putting a longer term spin on that (like until the dawning of the 7th Sun), well, you've got to plan more carefully.

We're facing the dawning of the Sixth Sun, let's not fuck it up this time around, eh?

What will happen in 2012?


There is some evidence that a lot of stupid people will make themselves huge pains in the backside of intelligent people.
