7 reasons the world will end in 2012
1. Mayan Calendar
The first mob to predict 2012 as the end of the world were the Mayans, a bloodthirsty race that were good at two things:
Building highly accurate astrological equipment out of stone and Sacrificing Virgins.
Thousands of years ago they managed to calculate the length of the lunar moon as 329.53020 days, only 34 seconds out. The Mayan calendar predicts that the Earth will end on December 21, 2012. Given that they were pretty close to the mark with the lunar cycle, it’s likely they’ve got the end of the world right as well.
Well, no, the calandar doesñ't say the world will end, just this phase of the planet's age...
I am glad you are all right.
Dazzle is being blocked; she sends her salutations as well.
My prayers are with the families in Newtown.
Good morning folks.
So tomorrow the world as we know it ends and a new phase begins. What we have managed to do to Mother Earth and upon its surface and are doing to each , little wonder that the Earth itself may want to rid itself of us the ingrates.
And Jeffrey just likes the pepperoni, no pizza! Get a life! Glad to hear youre ok @ bobcat!
awaiting moderation why? Cuz that story is untrue about the mayan calendar? You can look it up, theyve found more of the mayan calendar. And good afternoon @ saywhat and bobcat.

And a Happy New Year!
Maybe a good newyears Resolution would be to live more gently with everyone, including ourselves.
Actually I think the Mayan Calander marked the date to stop sacrificing virgins.
They knew there would be none left in 2013
