14th Baktun Fever has Begun

People going crazy.  Come on people, Mayan's performed human sacrifices, mutlilated their sex organs in drug induced trances and killed themselves off.  What insight do you think they had?

As for the nefarious History Channel's "Apocalypse Island" (actually Robinson Crusoe Island, Chile) -

Doesn't Jesus say in the Bible that anyone who claims to know when the End of Days is coming is pretty much automatically a fraud?

ETA - Yes, Matthew 24:36

"But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only."

so as my kids said one day...pretty sure it won't be the 21st of December

If these Mayans were so smart why didn't they predict their end?

On the upside it gives one "cover" to buy a bunch of stuff without looking suspiciously like one of those preppers--you just look like a pop culture idiot

Four days to go!   ::whoohoo::

Four days to go until the Mayan Doomsday - and there's a rush on for bomb-proof survival bunkers (complete with leather sofas and plasma screen TVs)

You can get all that done in four days?   ::hysterical::

If you're Mr. Scientology, sure.

This guy is having his Rockhound moment...he better hope he doesn't survive!   ::laughonfloor::

It's a tough decision...if they are truly that stupid, should they be prevented from harming themselves?  I mean if you close the mountain...that in itself is not a prevention...

My sense of humor I guess but I find it funny that people freaking out call NASA!

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2012/12/dec-21-2012-fearful-end-of-world-callers-flood-nasa-phonelines-.html

Yes, a government agency involved in space exploration...

Morons see no difference between astronomers and astrologers...

 ::hysterical::

A black comet.  Sure, why not?

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2250436/Doomsday-2012-If-Mayan-prophecy-true-just-end-Friday.html.

Perhaps we can crank up Pat Benatar's "Hit me with your best shot" all day tomorrow?!

 ;D

OK, combine hysteria over 12-21-12 with the shootings in CT and what do you get?  If you guessed "school cancelled" you would be right!

Wow, had no such thing back in my day...we would walk 5 miles each way up hill in a foot of snow...

Is it bad that I suspect that the world ending tomorrow would be a relief?  And can the Aliens from Nibiru do the liberals first?  I would like to watch.

Heh, yeah, it's not like the human race hasn't earned it, but it would be nice if only the guilty were punished...if there are intelligent aliens abount who are open to negotiations, perhaps a reasonable accomodation could be attained.

They're still here...we're still here...

Must be such a disappointment!

Why would anyone trust the Mayan Calendar when those guys couldn't even predict their own demise ? Looks like they're two for two .
