You guys ready for the apocalypse?

[Silverdream]

It's happening on December 22, 2012. So party like a millionaire, bitches.

[Ross_Varn]

Eh, I know myself and many others will use it as an excuse to party. I've apparently survived five apocalypses to date though, so, there you go.

[Zahru II]

Meh, another one? Okay...

[Ben-Jammin]

It won't happen. The Mayans didn't account for leap days in their calendar, so in reality the "apocalypse" should have happened about seven months ago. Even the Mayans themselves said it wouldn't be an "apocalypse", but more like a "great awakening".

[Falk]

I heard somewere that the Mayan calendar was cyclic, so it starts over after Dec 21, 2012. It's kinda like if you said that the world was going to end on Dec 32 (or 31)

I'm definitely intending to have an "end of the world party", but I'm very skeptical that the world will actually end.

A leap day doesn't mean you lose a solar orbit, it just shifts the date applied to it. But it's BS anyway, so doesn't really matter.

I would have a party, but all my friends will probably be elsewhere for Saturnalia.

[Silverdream]

You're all idiots. I don't know why I'm friends with any of you.

[Swordsalmon]

Because otherwise, you wouldn't have any friends.

[Ross_Varn]

Because otherwise, you wouldn't have any friends.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say

[ForlornCreature]

Hey does anyone actually know a 'Mayan'? And if they were so smart and all-knowing why are none of them around today?

[Bragallot]

Because the Inquis- the Spaniards spent their time developing weaponry rather than making stupid shit up and killed every last one of them.

Funny, my birthday is on Dec 31....

There are still a couple of them hiding out in the mountains, but they're a dying breed. The species is expected to go extinct sometime in late December of this year.
