Two months left...

[Cdnwolf]

If you believe in that sort of thing, humanity can expect a mere two months left of existence before the Mayan apocalypse hits Dec. 21.

Today (Oct. 21) starts the two-month countdown toward doomsday, according to an interpretation of the Mayan calendar that has taken hold in some New Age and spiritualist communities online.

Two ancient texts confirm the end date of the Mayan Long Count calendar on the winter solstice of this year, which is Dec. 21, 2012. That day is the last day of the 13th bak'tun, or 144,000-day cycle, of the calendar. Ancient Maya would have seen the end of the 13th bak'tun as the end of a full cycle of creation.

I got my shotgun and plenty of bottled water. I'll be under my bed, hunched up in a fetal position.

Well, if I subscribed to such a thing, I wouldn't need anything for a 2nd issue of the fanzine. However, since I don't believe the veracity of such claims, I'm happy to continue along as though things are 5 by 5.

Yes, I have my "stash" of food, water, guns, ammo, etc, etc.

But I have some thing else.

The will to live and protect who and what is mine.

So, Maya calendar or some punk looking for an easy score.

I'll promise one thing. When you come for me and mine, there will be a war. I might loose that war. But by God, you'll know you were in a war.

I'm more concerned about people taking this end-of-the-world thing seriously than I am about an otherwise innocuous alignment with the center of the galaxy. I'm glad I'm not an MP in the CA ARNG. Those guys are all going to be mobilized on 19 or 20 DEC 12, methinks.

"Oh, it's all right. I've planned ahead. We're just three miles from a primary target. A millisecond of brilliant light and we're vaporised.

Much more fortunate than the millions who'll wander sightless through the smouldering aftermath. We'll be spared the horror of survival."

For the ocean to get to Fayetteville, NC, they would have to rise 35+ feet. I think I would see that happening. Other than that, TEOTWAWKI will happen on December 21 while I am at work at Fort Bragg.

Nope, I do not see Mayan calander being any threat.

I agree. I thought I was doing well to have 60 days of food and water ready to go. Sheeeesh.....

But, as far as I can tell, I am WAY ahead of my neighbors. Good People. Honest, hard working people. Grasshoppers.

It is not EXACTLY a topic of conversation. "So, John, what do you have set up for the "OH, S***" occurance."

Waaaaait...are you guys for real Am I missing a meta-joke here and y'all don't really think the world is going to end on Dec 12 2012 despite the fact that the only reasons we can figure the Mayans put it like that was because they ran out of room to write it

Government lies to hide the fact and prevent world wide panic.

(the again is because we have had several, the worst recorded was at the end of the roman empire and lasted over a century we now call it the dark ages)
