[utube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCpjgl2baLs[/utube] In all seriousness though, it really disturbs me that there are schools out there which have cancelled classes because of the "Mayan apocalypse". But it bothers me MORE that there are people saying "The world's going to end, so I'm going to go on a killing spree because nothing matters beyond tomorrow." Seriously tho, these people smoked chocolate, sacrificed people to jaguar gods, and didn't have a fraction of our understanding of how the universe works, and yet for some reason people believe their assertion that the world will end just because that was when they ran out of calendar pages?! Why don't we just go back to burning witches every time there's a fucking solar eclipse while we're at it? Edited by AmuroNT1, Dec 20 2012, 02:15 PM.

Because it's harder to find a witch to burn with the justice system and intelligent people we have in place, than rouse fear of the apocalypse in stupid people by claiming that the would will end from not having enough calender pages. |

I dunno, smoking chocolate HAD to be better than some of the shit people have tried to light up over the centuries. |

Probably mainly the older of us, but anyone Remember the heavens gate cult. When some photographer took a picture of a comet and there was something behind it, which lead them to believe it was as a space ship piloted by jesus to come pick them up? So they drank some magic kool-ade to go meat up with it when it passed. Turned out it was just a smudge on the lens. |

It's already tomorrow in Australia. I wonder when we'll start getting the reports of earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and raining fire and brimstone. |

Any minute now I suppose. I love how Australia is badass enough to face the Mayan apocalypse first though. It seems appropriate, even if it has nothing to do with anything except our arbitrary system of keeping universal time. In any case, it's kind of sad how much has changed in 12 years. People handled Y2K a lot better than this. |

IIRC the Mayans lived in GMT-2, so in 2 hours the 20th will "end" for them. |

Looks like GMT-6, according to the layout. So the world will end for them around the time it should end on the Central Time Zone. Unless they lived in Atlantis, which could explain why they're so awesome and advanced to end our world by running out of calendar rock. T-7 hours until the world doesn't end, I suppose. Well. For me, as I'm West Coast. Edited by NewtypeS3, Dec 20 2012, 04:17 PM.

Really? ToX2 spoilers, outside the thread? I haven't even played the first game yet, I really didn't need that.

Happy End of the World Day from the Philippines, guys. Really, even Filipinos here think the world won't end and we're a pretty superstitious people. |

One school here in Missouri is getting some criticism for being open because two students have already been arrested for threatening to shoot the school up on the apocalypse. |

I was going to raise a toast at work today with whiskey or beer, but no one wanted to join in. Now, how many people got pregnant with "End of the world sex"? |

Way too many to count, most likely. I await the flood of stupid news stories related to this debacle. They will be glorious. Gloriously hilarious, that is. [edit]Shame on you, Amuro.

Stupid not-apocalypse. After having to deal with all the looneys at work yesterday, the LEAST you could've done was given me a damn eclipse or something. |

Snerk. My brother told me that at 11:59, he was drinking a Black Russian and listening to "The Final Countdown". You know, just in case. ...And then when the world failed to end at 12:00, he took out the garbage because he'd been holding off and his wife was yelling at him. |

hah, him and everyone else it seemed. The final count down was what people kept saying they were listening to all over. For me however, there was no better choice then http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=knLCbS02T1Y despite the subject matter, It was always one of my favorite game BGMs of all time as a kid. Once it started, I'd put it on pause, pump the volume up (since pausing it caused the main vol to lower significantly, but not TOO high that others would hear it),And I'd unplug the video output of my system, just leaving the audio and listen to it all night till I eventually fell asleep. |

Heh, Jell-O did an ad where they basically claim credit for averting the apocalypse by making an offering of pudding to the Mayan gods. |
