1) that proves December 21 won't be any other day. 2) The Hopi predicted that will cause the 2012 apocalypse. 3) It's confirmed by NASA so you can't say it is biased or unsoursed.

Lolno. The latter source is an unsourced bulletin board. The former says nothing close to what you're saying - in fact the opposite.

Reading will help you greatly.

Also, NASA hasn't confirmed what you're claiming at all.

Also, you have to wonder how come the Mayans didn't predict anything important for 1519.

Yes, December 21st will be unlike any other day. We will be happier when you are all proved wrong.

First, it seems like people want the end of the world, then try to find some excuse for it. They then scare people enough that they then look for their own reasons as what might be going on. The most interesting explanation I have heard for the blackout rumors for the 2012 is not very coherent (most aren't).

Basically we are all bots, with our consciences located elsewhere. Somehow our conscience is projected out from the black hole at the center of the galaxy. During the winter solstice this year, there is also an alignment such that the sun will block our connection between our bodies and our conscience. Hence the blackout. Since it is such a sudden disconnect, most will be thrown into a form of sensory deprivation during this downtime.

It does lead to some interesting questions if you want to entertain it. Other than that, :rofl:

I can hardly wait for December 22. Then all these stupid threads will stop and we can go back to worrying about the imminent zombie apocalypse.

Actually, if you look at mine ... it can lead to a zombie apocalypse. Think of an online game where all the players are now offline >,>

Are there any threats to the Earth in 2012? Many Internet websites say the world will end in December 2012.

Nothing bad will happen to the Earth in 2012. Our planet has been getting along just fine for more than 4 billion years, and credible scientists worldwide know of no threat associated with 2012.

Do you promise to be quiet for the intervening 18 years?

Yeah, heh, right.

Seriously though. If an asteroid hits the planet you have around a 50% chance of living, depending where the asteroid hits. If it's on the other side of the planet, then congratulations! If it's on your side, BOOM. Instantly vaporized or just dead.

But even if you do live, there will always be the sun blocked out by the ash, lack of plants, animals go extinct and then starvation. And you would have to live through that for thousands or maybe millions of years.

So if an asteroid hits, tough luck, we're done for. But it probably won't happen for a while.

*EDIT* Its 21.12.12 where I'm at...ITS NOT HAPPENING :D Now I can see my birthday, and christmas and everything. And, to Potlimitomaha- :lol2: :lol2: . Good day, gentlemen :) .

You see at the top where it says "errata"? What exactly do you think that means?

Over 40% (including me), are, so I fixed the post for accuracy.
