2012?

Postby mustardboy33 » Wed Jan 20, 2010 11:42 pm

2012? why do people think that the world is going to end in 2012? I dont get it.it makes no sense i think some dude took a bunch of numbers and wrote them down on paper put it in the hat and pulled out 2012... so i think that idea is kinda stupid... what u think? Also once 2012 is over everybody is going to say the same thing about 2020 again or something likr that...

People say the world will end in 2012 because the myain calander (which closely resembles ours) abruptly ends at 2012 now this could be any reason but no one really knows why so i say just sit and wait

Some say the world will end in fire;
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

Some also say planet X will complete a long revolution and enter our solar system to close to our plantes gravitational pull and pull it into earth destroying both wolrds completely

2012???!!

Oh no! You mean we've got to wait more than two more years before they do another map reset??

This is terrible! I was hoping that some of the terrain types would be better developed long before then. There's got to be a reason for having four different types of marsh!

Actually though, the Mayan calendar (or, less popularly, the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar) doesn't resemble ours at all (except in such inescapable ways that it is based on astronomical events), and it does, in fact, not end in 2012. It's just one of its subdivisions that end then, and it seems it's just a crass misinterpretation that has led people to think that it ends then. Just FYI.
