Two Years Left!

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Sorry if I break into your Christmas peace and confort with these GLOOMY thoughts but I was feeling a little bored.

Today is the 21st of December, 2010. That is we have two years till the end of the 13th b'ak'tun of Maya Calendar! Now what are you going to do with the time remaining?

I'm going to post at TPM like no tomorrow. Also, I'm going to play some videogames and other really important things yeah. Get some of my artworks to the whole word to see.

Or you can take this topic seriously and not answer the first question. Or just take them both like I do here. Do you really think the world's going to end two years from today?

Nah, it can well be a hoax. The 21th of Dec 2012 will just start a new b'ak'tun. B'ak'tun lasts for approx 394.3 solar years and did the world end 400 years ago? Not that I know.

Also, one Maya Calendar cycle starts from 5,123 years ago. Even the Bible proves there were people long before 3,000 B.C.. Of course someone now brings on the Great Flood myth, but that may have been a rather local event.

How's the world going to end, then?

It's very difficult to believe it would be a world-wide event. Well what if just a small volcano errupts in a country like Finland. Who cares. Duh.

Our beloved planet sure remains, at least until the sun gets veeery big 5,000,000,000 years later.

And now I'm feeling even more bored.

Now what are you going to do with the time remaining?
If the world is really ending, I'm just going to do all the things I enjoy. Or find some way to keep the world from ending and enjoy the fame and fortune that would come with that.

Do you really think the world's going to end two years from today?
Absolutely not. It's funny that people think that the end of the 13th baktun means the end of the Mayan calendar, and for some reason, the end of the world. A baktun is nothing more than a Mayan century. Since the Mayans used a base-20 number system, their centuries last 400 years instead of 100. The only reason a baktun doesn't last exactly 400 years is because the Mayans estimated the length of the year as 360 days. So, if they were 5 days off for that, it's pretty ridiculous to think that they somehow knew exactly when the world was going to end.

How's the world going to end, then?
In 5 billion or so years, people will just stop caring about the Earth. They'll all move off and finally allow the sun to expand into a red giant, and swallow the Earth. The Doctor and Rose will be there to watch.

Now what are you going to do with the time remaining?
What I would normally do. I will be getting married, and possibly starting a family.

Do you really think the world's going to end two years from today?
Nope. This is just another thing that people are abusing to spread panic and somehow make money from it down the road. Remember Y2K? Fizzle.

How's the world going to end, then?
Probably an asteroid or something down the road. Either that or when Ke$ha wins a Grammy.

It was kind of creepy that there was a total lunar eclipse last night. It had been showing all night but you could see the moon being eclipsed from behind the clouds. I took pictures with my phone and I'll try to upload them! It'll be my first time using my new phone to post pictures online.

Now what are you going to do with the time remaining?
Today I went to the mall and did Christmas shopping. :)

Well, I'm going to graduate in a few months and try to establish my career. If the world starts falling apart, I won't have to pay back my student loans.

Do you really think the world's going to end two years from today?
I'm undecided. There have been a lot of ancient prophecies from several distinct cultures that surround the age we live in. I believe we live in a special time, I mean most of us who are older witnessed what was truly human evolution into the technological era. 2012 also signals us entering the Age of Aquarius, and the sign Aquarius is supposed to mean change, new technology, a revolution, etc. But that's a load of crock.

How's the world going to end, then?
When I had a nightmare about the world ending, it was by vines coming from the ground and dragging people into hell :( bad dreams for :126:

Now what are you going to do with the time remaining?
Get a fucking car.

Do you really think the world's going to end two years from today?
3 letters: Y2K.

How's the world going to end, then?
Why is everyone so concerned with this? If it ends, it ends. That's it, it's OVER. Go die a fiery death and rest, at least you won't have to worry about whatever you did in life, geez.

No
How's the world going to end, then?
Define "world ending" - society collapses? Humans go extinct? The planet is annihilated?
a) world war 3 will be nuke happy (or we'll figure out an even more awesome way to kill each other and use that) b) flood basalts c) big big big asteroid!
