"My name is Ram" commercial, then c'mon 2012! /laugh.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

Actually I was under the impression that Aztec and Mayan

mathematics did not allow them to extrapolate their calendar

any further than 2012 hence the need for an ending? I bet J.D. could

expand our minds on this one!

Cheryl, what is the significance of Dec 21?

why do they think that's the last day?

is that the date the Mayans ended on?

There are so many different theories out there, but what Symp said is basically what I understand people are saying as well.

Basically, the Winter Solstice on December 21, 2012 is also the end of the Mayan Calendar. Some say that the end of the world also involved the Precession of the Equinoxes and the changing Earth's wobble (which lasts almost 26,000 years). Some say the Earth's rotation will be altered causing massive tidal waves, super volcanic eruptions, massive earthquakes, etc., etc. The non-doomsdayers say the end of the Mayan calendar is meant to indicate a rebirth of sorts ... an age of enlightenment.

"This day a rare astronomical and Mayan mythical event occurs. In astronomic terms, the Sun conjuncts the intersection of the Milky Way and the plane of the ecliptic. The Milky Way, as most of us know, extends in a general north-south direction in the night sky. The plane of the ecliptic is the track the Sun, Moon, planets and stars appear to travel in the sky, from east to west. It intersects the Milky Way at a 60 degree angle near the constellation Sagittarius."

Here is a site that tries to explain some of this end of the Mayan Calendar stuff. http://www.planetpapp.com/br21.....ember2012/

well, that's the winter solstice so i figure it has

something to do with that, but i wonder if this

is speculation or the exact day the Mayan

calendar ends

What I got form watching the history and science channel, it's just the date the Mayan calendar ends.

The winter solstice on this date, the sun will be in alignment with the center of the Milky Way for the first time in 26,000 years.

Some think some type of energy is suppose to be disrupted that comes to earth,( from the alignment) 12/21/2012 at 11:11 universal time.

Other thoughts are it is some type of cosmic shifting, and a new age, spiritual type of thing for some.

Where one becomes one with the earth. Then the end of the world, theory.

I found the media interest seemed to start after Mel Gibson's movie Apocalpyto came out.

Blame Mel. /laugh.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

I've read things about the ley lines, crop circles, bigfoot, and aliens theories are linked to this date.

I find the phenomenon interesting.

My name is Ram and my tank is full. This commerical is nuts, and on every 5 minutes.

The tank better be full, it gets like 8 miles to a gallon. /laugh.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

calendar ends

I guess if the world ends for the mayan time zone I am screwed, I need to get all my naughtiness

done before then.

OMG, I just watched another 2012 Program (on the History Channel) last night!

I must just avoid the TV until Dec. 22, 2012!

I have one question, if the world does end what time zone will the end start? I know that by the time January 1st reaches the west coast, it is almost January 2nd in the other time zones. Just curious.

I'd guess it will be what ever time zone the Mayans were in.

So, I'm thinking that will give me an extra couple hours and

you're out of luck /tongue.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':P' />

I don't know what's worse, the world ending or the world's cheapest person stocking up on survival supplies for when the world ends?

For Y2K my ex took used 2 liter bottles and filled them with water, with a drop of bleach in each bottle to keep the water good. Says she learned that from a book. Suffice it to say January 2001 found me hauling oodles of water filled 2 liters to the dump. It's not a good thing when a cheap hypochondriac prepares for disaster. I kept expecting Mel Gibson to drive up in a taxi saying the Government was behind it all, ala Conspiracy Theory.

I should have had you stop by house and pick up

the worthless cans of green bean and carrots no

one really wanted anyway haha.

would have taken a Y2K catastrophe to get the

boys to actually eat them /rolleyes.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':P' /> haha

i've learned though, for 2012 i'm stocking up on

only YUMMY canned goods. i'm seeing lots of

ravioli and spaghetti o's in my future /wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> haha

Didn't watch it. I was busy watching re-runs of According to Jim.

Yup, I like life after people, also. I will probably watch this, thursday night.

I'll just go to Disney World, Dec. 21, 2012. I was there for Y2K.

If I'm going, I'm going from the happiest place on earth. /laugh.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':P' />
