"So, who are you voting for?"

[Jay 2K Winger]

Funny, but the date of the apocalypse seems to change every few months, at least if such fine publications such as The Sun are to be believed.

The Sun, which every week has another doomsday prediction according to Nostradamus, or Mother Teresa, or the Dead Sea Scrolls, or whatever.

They should just change their name to "Prophecy Weekly" and be done with it.

The nice little Dec 21, 2012 date.... actually it's said that the Myan calendar doesn't end it repeats -- they didn't believe in a linear timeline.

EXACTLY!!

December 2012 marks the end of ONE PARTICULAR CYCLE of the Mayan Calendar, not the whole freakin' calendar!

There will be things happening on that date for sure (religious hysteria and such) but outside of media manufactured "hype" I don't anticipate any earth shattering events just before christmas 2012.

I'm voting Monster Raving Loony Party, as usual.

The Mayan Calendar?

As far as I know, it's called the Long Count calendar. I think the Short Count or whatever it was called was like days of the week, and the Long Count dictated the years and decades according to their cycle. I may be getting muddled up with the Mexica/Aztec calendar but these two calendars intertwine, and every day has a number up to...about two hundred thousand or something like that? When all the permutations have been run through they start again, and 22/12/12 is the Gregorian equivelent of the next time this happens. Of course some bozo who thinks ancient civilisations were so much better than today's caught on this and said the world was going to end...I mean, seriously, who wants the world to end? Pain, fire, ow, death spring to mind!!!

The History Channel has been replaying a documentary on the Mayan calendar for a couple of weeks now. Apparently there is going to be a lining up of planets that only happens every 26,000 years where the sun basically lines up with the middle of the Milky Way Galaxy.

And to my fellow servers, you probably could have guessed what my tip was. It was a good one- a mini comic book complete with illustrations of the flames of hell!! Thanks, I can fill my tank with that for sure.

It's not much, but you could probably sell that if it's good. Other than that, people like him are reasons why we think most .

I, for one, am voting for Dave Barry.

My answer to "who are you voting for" has been the same since 2000, the first year I got asked that question. "Dumbledore".

He's got my vote too!

There's no answer you can say to that question that doesn't get people angry. I told people that I didn't vote, and oh dear lord, was that a mistake. "I haven't decided", and they try to get you to vote for their candidate. You say the wrong candidate, and they get pissy. /sigh

"I'm voting for the other guy."

[Kali]

Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos.

None of the above!

Wow... he really did need an aluminum foil hat, didn't he? That or one of those umbrella hats... but with a bunch of wires and stuff sticking out of it.

[pssorens]

silly mortals, 12/22/12 isn't the end of the world, it's the mana level reaching it's threshold and magic returning to the world.

oh boy I'm either playing too much shadowrun or not enough..............................

But, thats one thing that I tend to put the kibosh on pretty quick. No politics or religion at work especially after "R". whom I have posted about before. discussing politics and religion is best left for people mature enough to handle the fact that they might not be right, and that disqualifies every SC and sucky co-irker out there.
