But, if it doesn't. He'll spend more than 2 days in jail... lol
For anybody who happens to die on the 21st... It will be the End of the World.
I'm just going to try and survive till Saturday.
:cool:

Hey, what the hell. The world ended last week. What are all you people doing here? Go on, get our ya vagrants.
This year
or even this decade
As you were gentlemen
Dammit !! I'd blown all my Dilithium on 3 Orions girls, 40 crates of Romulan ale an and 2 days on Wrigleys pleasure planet (VIP rooms)!!
Thats the last prophecy I buy into !! :P
It had better not end, I dont get my Breen ship until the 28th!! lol
Even 1998 was a crappy alignment. It was 8 full moons away from the actual galactic center. This year it didn't even come within 10, and in a few more years it'll be 11. Even from the astrological perspective, ignoring that astronomy doesn't care, that's not a close enough conjunction to even count, the most generous tables don't track anything more than five full moons apart.
However, the REAL fun? The person principally behind this doomsday (as well as failed doomsdays in 2003, 5, 7, 10, and 11) is Nancy Lieder. She has an online Q&A chat session scheduled for the day after her own doomsday prediction.
Now there's confidence for you. Not the fact that she clearly doubts her own prediction, but that she'll brave internet trolls in a poorly moderated environment on the very day of her failure.
I was wondering if she were still lurking in her madhouse somewhere.
No doubt it's all about publicity. Her 5 minutes of fame if you like. People have been remembered for worse.
Just need to know if I should find a better timezone (GMT+1 in my case), as I have some things I need to get done before the 22'nd, and if NZ gets less time than me, I guess I will be fine.
This. I would be more concerned about the whole "end of the world" if it wasn't predicted to end several times in the two decades alone, and yet despite all "evidence" it continues to exist. So yes, not really concerned about the 21st.
unofficially it won't happen
the mayan long count is about PLANTING MAIZE nothing else
I've been wondering that too.
If I had to ponder a guess, I'd say maybe more a Western hemisphere time zone, just because the Mayans were on that side of the planet.
At least if that's true, it might end up happening while those of us in the Americas will be asleep.
This one's not even their long count. There's two more units of time above the baktun. The thirteenth baktun is ending this week, but the first piktun doesn't end until right around the 48th Century, and there's eight thousand (?) piktuns in an alaurun. Their calendar doesn't actually "end" for another 63 million years, and even then it just rolls over to the start again to kick off the second alaurun.
They're units of time as arbitrary as our decade or century, and the whole thing is even less astronomically accurate than our mess that we have to keep poking back and forth to keep lined up. When one ends, you just increment the number and start over.
Good grief, that was a terrible movie. Spare yourself the unlrealism of it and watch something else.
...No, seriously. (but if you really want to, go ahead)
I am going to wake up on the 22nd and laugh.
The effects were nice, but what I was pointing out was the whole plot to it. (spoilers ahead; highlight to see them) The whole Chinese built Noah's arks at the end was stupid (basically the whole movie was IMO), but it was fun to poke 'Made in China' at.(end spoiler)
The end of the world nonsense is always jsut that, nonsense,
but in what way is the world supposed to be ending by the way? i was chatting to a friend today about it, then figured.. i have no idea HOW the world will end
Sun exploding?
The rapture (lol)
Freak storms?
FLoods
Radiation?
Ice age?
What is the 'theme' of THIS 'end of the world'
Broken Clocks.

I didnt dispute that
EGAD!
how will we function.. ah we wont therefore we all die :P
so its the equivalent of someone flipping the light switch titled 'the world' off :P
Seems lazy they couldn't even be bothered to come up with something inventive like griffons descending from the sky or the trees uproot and start hunting people down 8-)
there was a news story about some village in france near a mountain where aliens reside in the mountain, will offer people a lift of earth when it happens XD, part of me thinks rumour.. but some people are daft enough to beieve that cobblers too ^^
