2012

strong point Tone-lol
they came up with some amazing stuff though when they were around given the tools they had.

[Grandturk]

not to be a dick or anything, but the mayans are extinct.

Not to be a dick or anything, but I already said that. And it wasn't buried in an oft-unread third paragraph:

If the Mayan's were right they were a little off with their dates, because the Mayan civilization has been dead for a long time.

And I received props which confirmed the accuracy of my post.

Huh, that's a given.

So you're wrong, Tone "monster!" WRONG! WRONG! WRONG!

But that's just my opinion; you're milage may vary, for what it's worth - take it with a grain of salt.

My understanding is the Mayan calendar ended at 2012. It didn't predict the end of the world, just they didn't continue it on after that. Look at computer operating systems made in the 1960's and 70's. Remember Y2K? They only included digits up to 99 for the year because they figured nobody would be using these systems past then. I'm sure the Mayans were the same.

I can go with that, that makes sense.
So why all the philosophical nut jobs sensationalizing it, if that's all it is?
You know what I mean?

Now I have to go put on The Gathering CD from Testament... 3 days of darkness in 2012!

You're?

[MakeAJazzNoiseHere]

You're?

"You are milage"

I don't know what that means, but it sounds French, and that can't be good.

I say you ban him.

[Grandturk]

Shit.

we dont need 2012 for something crappy to happen... something could go off any minute

Just from the preview on TV I could tell it was gonna be like the second Transformers movie. Do they sit around a table and brainstorm a bunch of special effects and then come up with some weak-ass story to (attempt to) connect it all together? Shame too, I usually like John Cusack.
