He saw it in his telescope and decided that it would probably hit earth? I don't know if any of you own a telescope but when looking through it it kinda looks 2D. In other words. Tabloid news. There is no UFO hovering around in plain view the last place they would want to be. There is no comet heading towards earth right now. If it is call Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck. It worked before.

2012 is the end of the mayan calender and many beleive it to mean the end of the world.

others beleive as the calender is circular that it does not mean an end, but yet a new beginning.

either way 2012 should be fun.

although I beleive that if you correlate the calender with ours you actually get 2009 or something like that.

Im against the mayan caledar apocalypse because what people in the world write a caledar over a thousand years into the future, I hardly think beyond three years and I never "Thought" of plans for me after i'm dead. And who knows, mabye i didnt mean the apocalypse and meant a heaven-like day to the mayans

I disagree. 2000 and 2001 were the 2 most common. Funny, we missed it.

Prince predicted partying that year.

I think most people missed it because they were packing up extra canned food and candles because the lights were supposed to go out for Y2K.

What a gyp that was, there wasn't even a brown out here.

Yeah, I was one of them. I had bought like 8 cases of bottled water, Flashlights, batteries. I think even gasoline stored in my shed (for fear of the pumps not working).



I should have never read that book! :roll:

My family was 1 of the 1s who laughed at the people hurrying about for y2k. We didn't think anything would happen and even if it did we had enough food and water to last 5 years from before any of the rumors got started.

Meh, not me. My TV was on, the stereo was blaring No Doubt's cover of "It's the End of the World (And I Feel Fine)," and the lights were on!

Which book? The Nostradamus Prophecies? Surely you aren't trying to refer to the Bible in some subtle way, because the Bible never said anything about the millenium bug (since the millenium didn't technically start until 2001).

And you believed it? o.O

On a completely different note, I just noticed that your avatar is not Boba Fett.

To be fair, so did the rest of the private tech industry. Then again, a good number of them were probably laughing about how much money they were making when the press wasn't around.

Yeah, it's some kind of bird with a pair of arms attached to a roman torture device above it.

Funny how the symbol of a religion of love and peace is two planks of wood designed as a slow and agonizing form of execution. Then again, that's how i've felt about some sermons i've listened to.
