When the 'Mayan prophecy' spectacularly flops (and it surely will)...?

Some people are just too stupid for words.

Hi 11UN

Friends have just returned from a holiday in Mexico. They say the local Mayan people are bemused at our interpretation of their calendar. They say it means another 500 years cycle is about to begin.

Just over 500 years ago the Americas were discovered by Europe. It was 500 years ago the Queen Isabella of Spain - quite a girl - realised the potential of the new lands and funded lots of travels of discovery.

A few years ago a woman discovered the alternative power of fusion. We haven't discovered yet what to do with the toxic wasre it produces. Just think - if a Muslim woman in a third world country discovered a safe way to dispose of the toxic waste then the whole world order will be transformed.

Best wishes

PS I'm writing my Christmas cards and will post them, confident in the belief they will be opened by my family and friends.

There is no Mayan prophecy. They stopped making calendars, that is all. My calendar from Smiths ends on the 31st of December, but I do not see it as a doomsday prophecy from the printer. I can buy a new calendar next year. If the Mayans had been around today, they would be busy carving out calendars for the next thousand years.

The reason the Mayan Calendar ends on December 21, 2012 is because they ran out of paper.

there is no 'Mayan Prophecy' 21/12/12 just marks the end of a 5,125 year cycle in the Mayan calender, after which the calender loops.

the world ending is mostly just a handy as a way to sell a rubbish film.

the only thing which is ending is school, for CHRISTMAS.

Anybody can prophecy the end of the world so why would the Mayans be right?

We already have had enough whackjobs thanks lol

Rev Jim Jones self styled prophet who poisoned his followers and either shot himself or had someone do it for him

Historians wonder what became of the Mayans and the answer is so simple, They committed mass suicide after some idiot started a conspiracy theory about the end of the world and gave them a date..

No,there will be another one start up again within a short time.What is astonishing is the number of people who take it as Gosprel truth. These are the same type of people who fall for the next scam because someone had told them. Naive easy led people.

okay.. might be true who knows until the 21st.. it's a mathematical probability all life on earth could end next month, the only thing you can say is the evidence suggests it's extremely unlikely.

physicists have been looking around the universe for a state of nothingness, they say no such state exists, it does it's all round us, it's called the future.

They can always say, oops we meant 2022, not 2012. Forgot to carry the 1.

I don't finish paying off my DFS corner cafè au lait velveteen sofa combination till 2043, so I'm on every tumblr doom-merchant's side. If it all goes t!ts up 21/12/2012 ...I WIN.
