i was disapointed with this so called apocalypse anyways how was everyones end of the world
 
I'm taking a wait & see approach. 4 guys on horses just rode by... :eek:
 
Well Jaxx they must be making good time because they stopped by in Chicago for a few drinks. Odd time for a drink during the end of the world...maybe they will forget and we will be fine?
 
...Oh...wait... I may be a wee bit intoxicated. Make that 2 guys in a Mustang just rode by... All good here! ;) :D:D
 
Worst apocalypse ever.

Why modern people would invest in the prophecies of people that pooped in the woods, built things our of raw stone and sacrificed hundreds or thousands of people to bring rain or sunshine will always be a mystery to me.

Brought to you by those that think we never went to the moon.

Yeah, just keep offering 'em free booze wherever they appear! That's the way out. :):)
 
The Mayans couldn't have been wrong about today/yesterday being the apocalypse because that's not what they predicted... No? Seems like the messed up, totally incorrect modern interpretation of it is so ubiquitious (shamefully) that most people actually believe it :( oh well, five second rule, cold weather causes colds, dim light ruins eyes, pit bulls' jaws have a locking mechanism, searing seals in juices, the list keeps growing!
 
Did anyone else go out and buy solid black Nikes and special koolaid or am I just the weird one?

Yep, the Mayan calendar simply ended, it did not say anything about the end of the world. Some "smart" person surmised that it must mean that the end of the calendar meant the end of the world. Yea. Kind of reminds me of the whole Millennium debacle.
 
Hey now, modern people still poop in woods, worship, and kill people in the name of their illusionary gods. All that's changed is advancements in science and technology. I agree with your point though..i.e., people are easily impressionable and have unfounded beliefs. The whole mayan calendar thing was/is an extra amusing example... As far as pooping in the woods, very underrated.

As soon as someone goes down there and chisels a little more on the rocks the Mayan calendar will be that much longer, and if you just think of it as a system it's really perpetual until something goes really wrong and the pattern of movement in the solar system no longer follows that predicted by the calendar.

Food for thought - the 21st was the last day, so the world should end when today ends. Right?

Well, the Myans didn't factor in leap year to their circular calendar and that means 12/21/12 as it appears on their calendar actually happened a while ago.
 
The Mayan calendar is right. The Mayan calendar ended on the Winter Solstice, December 21, the day with the shortest sunlight. The Mayan calendar is based on cycles of the sun, moon and stars. Think about it. Hundreds, thousands of years ago the people who inhabited the earth did not have the distractions that we have today such as TV, cable, radio, etc. They relied on the cycle of the earth orbiting the sun and their observations of these relationships. The Mayan culture was agrarian. They relied on sunlight to grow their crops. They used their calendar to help predict when the best time to plant their seeds to grow their crops, marriage, conception and birth. My simple interpretation.
