[QUOTE=LCBADs;33530795]In 1986, a clandestine cadre of top Russian officials, faced with proof that their glorious republic was soon to dissolve, concocted a plan - send a series of massive, time-travelling, 200-mt nuclear bombs to the far future of 2023. The simultaneous detonation would result not only in mass destruction and wide-spread nuclear fallout, but it would also alter the Earth's tectonic behavior, decimating the capitalist pig-dogs in a series of CG-intensive earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions, all shot in crystal-clear HD. With the world in shambles, a secret army of half-man-half-gorrila Soviet supersoldiers, grown and trained over the last thirty years in secret bunkers miles beneath the Siberian wastes, will rise to the surface to claim the world in the name of the newly reborn Soviet Union.[/QUOTE] That is beautiful
Why are people seriously giving a shit whether or not the Mayans predicted the end of the world? Plenty of loons predict the end of the world all the time. I could write THE WORLD WILL END AUGUST 13TH 2189 on a piece of paper, and whether or not people in the future believed I literally meant the world will end, it doesn't change the fact that I actually haven't got a fucking clue.

Wow, an apocalypse based on a bunch of numbers lining up on a human made calender [I]not[/I] being true? That's never happened before!
I knew the apocalypse was bullshit, but I still wonder what event so "major" will happen in 2012 that the mayans thought it would be worth mentioning. A nuclear war that will kill everyone? A world-wide economical collapse that will fuck everyone over? Tehnological advancement that will make life better? Aliens? I have no idea

Aww dammit. The way the worlds going downhill, I'd be happy for an apocalypse.
The Hell, I thought the Myans made a tablet like this [img]http://cdn.cbsi.com.au/story_media/339305776/Samsung-Galaxy-Tab_1.jpg[/img]
[quote]At least that's according to a German expert who says his decoding of a Mayan tablet with a reference to a 2012 date denotes a transition to a new era and not a possible end of the world as others have read it.[/quote] Wait, you mean it works just like our calendars? Holy shit! Who'd have though that the Mayan calendar would work just like our calendars and that the world doesn't end at the end of every year! Who'd have known?

[QUOTE=falcont2t;33528984]we know that since the 2012 rumor started... you are late as fuck[/QUOTE] Actually the news is buddy.
Anyone whose even read a little about the whole Mayan calender would know most scholars who've tranlasted it, have come out with radically different translations. We suck at translating Mayan writing.
[QUOTE=Firegod522;33529814]In other news the sky is blue and we breathe air.[/QUOTE] What if air is poisonous and we are secretly having our life shortened by it?
Holy mother of [b]FUCK[/b] Didn't see this one coming. Not at all, nope.
If I remember correctly, the 2012 "end" is based on Mexican legends that the world destroys itself very "###" years. New age, eh? Hopefully one for the better.
Wow, "an expert" got credit for what the internet has known for years, slow news day I see :v:
[quote]• Hieroglyphs expert says there'll be no apocalypse in 2012[/quote] We needed experts to tell us this? They didn't even know where the sun went at night, let alone exactly what day the world was going to end. Why would anyone believe this nonsense for a second?
Why did people even believe this? As I recall, the Mayans also claimed that this has happened several times in the past - the first one killing all the giants on the earth with a flood which turned them into fish, another causing a massive windstorm which turned most of humanity into monkeys and all sort of insane stuff. It boggles the mind.
You shouldn't be this hard on these news, some people take the prediction seriously. And the less there are those people, the better. Any kind of clarification is good actually.
