    because I'm not a superstitious idiot?

    Everyone thinks their doomsday scenario is unique...

    Because that isn't how the Mayan calendar works. 2012 is their equivalence of Y2K. Another baktun turns, and you have to update your computer. That's basically it.

    I've actually been waiting for the world to end since 2000. It's kind of tough, always waiting for the hammer to drop, but I still try to live as best I can.

    At the exact moment the Mayan Calender ends... the Earth crosses a direct point between the Sun and I believe the largest Black hole we know of.


    Alot of Astro physisisist believe it may realign our poles.... Rapid Pole movement = world wide shit hits the fan.

    No and no, but the singularity might start happening, which would be both awesome and terrifying at the same time.

    Oh and if the LHC makes a wayward Black Hole (1/50,000,000 chance, same as a lottery ticket) you won't even have time to realise you're dead. Weee!

    Also that documentary was probably made by Fox news or some shit.

    I guess it's as disappointing as the second coming of Christ was back in 1844. So now we know how those guys feel.

    I mean, seriously, who brings German Potato Salad to anything?

    No, it doesn't. No, they don't. No, it won't.

    Let's put it this way, out of the thousand of end-of-the-world prediction that have been made, exactly zero have come true. While it's accurate that only one would have to come true to ruin everyone's day, it would more coincidence than foresight.

    The world will not end in 2012 because that's not how the Mayan Calendar works. I fail to see how being aligned with the sun and a black hole would do anything, if that is even true.
