12/12/12 The world was supposed to end?

[Shawn Sunshine]

Just wondering why the world did not end according to the Mayan Calender? Do I have the date right? 12/12/12 ?

[Anna++]

I think that's supposed to be on the 21st... you're a few days early

[Devlyn]

Yeah, quit rushing things, would ya? Especially the end of the world! Hugs, Devlyn

[Sarah Louise]

We couldn't be so lucky.

The world still has a ways to go.

The Mayan calendar resets once and everybody freaks out...  our calendars reset once a year and nobody panics!

[Shawn Sunshine]

They should have a free pair of shoes day event for 12/21/12 then , that would cause the end of the world!

Well, supposedly it should have ended 7 months ago since supposedly the Mayan calendar doesn't take the leap year into consideration [something that only came about with the Gregorian calendar].  Plus NASA has a neat article on why the world isn't going to end on the 21st.  From what I can see, it's just a reset of a calendar and the supposed dawning of a new age.

[And it had better not end as my birthday is the next day.]

Can we get Sisko doing the Thriller dance next?

Question?  Does it mean the end of the world as we know it when our calender ends?

No.  And nether shall it when the Mayan Calender ends.  It is just the end of another calender.

Question: What's the longest you've ever left a calendar up on the wall?

What's a calender?  I never use those things.

Anywho, if the world ends, I'll go out with a joke. As the fires spread on that fateful Friday night, the first thing I would say would be, "Oh crap, I forgot to get down!"

The one in my room at my parent's house still says October 2006.

I only just recently started using an on-the-wall calendar a few months ago, so...two? Three months?

and I'll just feel fine the whole time.

Looks like I didn't memorize that song for nothing.

I am so sad 12-12-12 is coming to an end. (Can't say it was that great a day though). Such a cool number. The nerd in me loves this sort of stuff.
