That's great for Europe. Of course over here in the states we'll all be incinerated and/or asphyxiated by then....

Pffft. Everyone knows the end of the world is currently scheduled for 2012, silly.

True, but that's "The world". It does not imply USA will last that long.

Actually that brings up a good point. What did the Mayan's consider "The World". To them it might have meant just Central/South America. The rest of the planet could get off scott free.

Apparently the Mayans weren't the only ones calling for 2012. There's some astrological something-or-other calling for 2012 as well.

Nostradamus

Well, there's debate as to whether the book of drawings was Nostradamus or not.

12/21/2012 is the precise date predicted if anyone wants to make a sticky

:P

embrace the horror folks. if you run, you'll only die tired

Wait, if it was NOT Nostradamus making the prediction then there is at least a slight chance it could be a true prophecy. Damn. I might have to worry about this after all.

Jack: the winter solstice? That's interesting. Who called for that date, the Mayans?

Why do I keep reading the name of that thing as the "Large Hardon Collider"?
