Official *** I survived the end of the world *** thread
 

WE all made it. :clap::clap::clap:

WE MADE IT!!

It's not over yet fellas

Why?

It could still happen at some point today, right? I mean if this theory is correct it doesn't just mean that if the sun comes up you're in the clear. Gotta make it to 12 am 12/22/2012.

It is http://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/maya

Jesus, they really had a counter for this crap?

Well considering the website is about everything "time and date", how could they not? LMAO

Touche. Didn't really look at the website.

I thought there was another time floating around about 11 am and another for tonight

take off the tinfoil hat. LMAO

Funny thing though... The Mayans never even said the world was going to end....

I'm alive!!!!

:toast:

I have the worst case of heartburn ever

THE SERVER JUST WENT DOWN! ZOMG!

Worst apocalypse ever.

We got screwed again...

It ain't over yet...

Something ever started?

Sure it is. IT was over at 5:11am

The day. This was the last day on their calendar, so it counted. Tomorrow is another story...

True. But for some reason it was exactly 5:11am CST. And also it's already the 22nd where I am. No fires, No zombies, No sky falling upon us.

Just those druid looking guys dressed in black.

Don't ready know the details, never really followed it. We all know it wouldn't end anyway.

That said, anyone else nervous there may be a bunch of incidents today like Newtown last week?

I am surprised there haven't been more all this week.

There have been a bunch of threats on schools lately.

Well forget the link I posted. Apparently, our local paper thinks they need to start charging, too. Screw that!

Still have 2 and a half hours folks.

11am is when it starts.

What starts?

The midgets attack.

OH ****

Of course not. They never said anything close.

The machines will rise up against their masters.

Good thing I snow blowed yesterday!

I didn't. I left mine outside.

I figured it couldn't get me if it was buried in an 8-foot drift.

um, isn't it's job to go through snow?

Exactly. Who are those guys? They are starting to creep me out.

I woke my son this morning with..."Congrats son, you have now survived at least 3 ends of the world"!!

DAMMIT!

I got my 12-year old (who thinks she's a teenager) up this morning and said "Damn it, you gotta start getting out of bed. You slept through the end of the world!"

Stolen from luv...

Google begins learning at a geometric rate and becomes self aware.

One hour...

If it were the end of the world would any of us know it happened? Is today the beginning of the end?

How about, has anyone done any research on the Mayan Calendar? I haven't but I heard a conversation last week regarding the last day of the year according to the Mayans. The conversation regarded our use of Feb. 29 every four years and that the timing was right for "Leap Millennium" a date that would reconcile the calendar and clocks to be exact once again. One of the guys commented that the Mayans only did the catchup based on a frequency that would match up with the movement of the earth. So, tonight at midnight around the world we will effectively have January 1, 2013 (M).

The discussion sounded plausible, but I've not done any research to try to determine why Dec. 21, 2012 was the last date recorded on their calendar. Could it be they just ran out of room on the big rock? Could it be their calculations were that that was the last day of the year 2012 for the catchup of time? Who knows, Tonight at midnight around the world we can either see the end of time or, and most likely we could celebrate the Mayan New Year.

The reason the mayan calendar ended on this day is cuz the dude responsible for writing calendars either died or just plain got bored of doing it, and he was too busy writing calendars to birth a son that would take it over.

I think.

The Mayan calendar has days, months, years, and MILLENIA or "ages" (we have the same but don't necessarily recognize them as "events").

The Mayan calendar effectively ends THIS "age" because the calendar is finite.

Tomorrow is the first day of the NEXT "age". It would have required them to create a calendar for that age, if their civilization would have survived.

Yay!

Boobs for everyone!

Are there boobs in the next age? If not, I'm going to be pissed.

I know.

Damn. I didn't make it.

Well I listened to 2112 by Rush...still here...

Whats the History Channel going to have in its lineup now?

More American Swamp Ice Road Pawn Star Picker Ax People Truckers.

:facepalm:

So when is the 3 days of darkness suppose to start?

Winter Solstice. We did this last year.

That is both informative and hilarious.

Awesome.

They made a 3,000 year calendar. Three thousand years. Compare that to the calendars we make that last one year. I'd say that their calendar was incredibly successful in comparison. Why did it stop? Because their civilization ended, they aren't around to make another one. Why did it stop today? Because it's the Winter Solstice. Pretty simple.

The end is just beginning...

Yep, basically what I said earlier. :toast:

The lover of life's not a sinner
The ending is just a beginner
The closer you get to the meaning
The sooner you'll know that you're dreaming

People are beating this thing into the ground like there's no tomorrow.

Yep.

The world did not end... Also:

1. Chiefs didn't win a playoff game.
2. Royals didn't win more games then they lost.
3. MO tigers didn't find a way to blow a great season.
4. Hell hasn't frozen over yet.

Reason number four is the most likely to occur then the other three so we are safe.

Not only did the world not end, I have had a good day so far (knock on wood).

I ended up getting a very good Christmas bonus that was completely unexpected.
Busy morning, which also means a quick morning, before a firm lunch with some very interesting conversation.
My four day weekend commences at 5pm.
I received a $25 Brown Derby (liquor store) gift card from one attorney, and my other one gave me two bottles of red wine.

Plus, if last night is part of it, I got a boy's phone number, and I found out that my best friend's girlfriend is intimidated by me (I'm that last person that anyone's girlfriend should feel intimidated by).

:)

My skin is pretty dry today. Lotion isn't helping. Impending doom?

Today is pretty much like the calm blue skies the morning after a tornado.

Leading up to the Mayan calendar whiff, we'd suffered 2 bouts of plague in our home for a week, blizzard, work turmoil, and a tree uprooted by the wind nearly crushed my prized hunting buggy.

So I had a few days at home with the kids that pretty much felt like

It's like a new beginning. We should all feel like

So the Mayans world ended on the day they finished their the calendar? That explains why there are no more Mayan calendars? The calendar is finite? If time/the world goes on forever then the calendar would be infinite.

Probably none that look as good as those you posted! Mighty fine boobs!

Did you even read what was written? Are you having issues with the date because you actually ended today?

Not as awesome as you feel. Did my commentary not point to the end of an age, as you described it? I don't think of it as hilarious, I'd say that it's demeaning to all of the people that believed the end was at hand yesterday. Do the two of you tie this to the Second Coming of Christ? I sure hope not because that would slide your credibility pretty far down from the top rating.

So how does that differ from the end of a millennium or age as shown by htis?

Yes I read what you wrote. To summarize, you asked if anyone had done any research on the Mayan calendar, and then said you'd heard a conversation somebody had about the date simply being wrong, and that sounded "Plausible" to you. That's facepalm logic at its finest, so I was trying to help you out.

Which time zone? And thanks to everyone who jinxed it with the "We made it" crap.

Is anyone else still seeing those guys dressed like Druids in all black? There was a orange glow I was seeing just north of town. Never seen that before.

So my friend told me he went to the bar and a nearby power plant went out, causing a power outage and flashes of green and blue in the sky. Some woman actually yelled out,"This is IT!" LMAO

I doubt, based on the few responses you've made to my posts, that you were trying to help me out. Seems out of character.
