Hammerhand;766144 said:I'd like to know where the Mayans "predicted" that the world would end in 2012. Only thing I've ever seen on this is simply that as far as we can TRANSLATE their CALENDAR ends then. A calendar that was made out of stone by a culture that pretty much no longer exists. We dont even know if we are reading it right. Hell.. it COULD be a cookbook for all we really know. My calendar ends every year. Does that mean the world ends every year as well?
Ok.. I just looked at a pic of the thing and MY translation says this....
The internet will cease to exist in 2012. No more UO, no more forums, no more porn sites.. Yup... I guess maybe it WILL be the end of everything we know.
Your right, it's merely the end of their calendar. Many believe that it would merely be the end of the age, not the end of the world.
The King James version of the bible also fucks up too many translations. It throws in the end of the world in a few of those translations which is the reason many bible thumpers believe the end is coming soon - when the correct translation is the "end of the age".

Sorry, fresh out of virgins.. come back tomorrow.
The grass is always greener on the other side. Unless Chuck Norris has been there, then it's just full of blood and tears.
I know, my reputation with the internets is at stake here! I need to be ultra-careful.
Hmm that doesn't sound so bad. Free room and board?

AARRHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok I feel better now.
People look up info... there is actually a reason why they say the world will end.
Will it end, not likely but what will happen is this:
The Mayan are right
The Scared Tree is in essence where they believe life started. The last time this happened was some odd 28,000 years ago. Also they believed that there were other worlds before this one, there is no real last calender of the Mayans, merely last known. Considering how much was destroyed by the Spanish Christians it is hard to say.
Now practically, these calenders were made in a pre-Columbian time, 2012 was a long time away from then. Maybe they just didn't get around to publishing/making calenders for the rest of time! They had a life to live after all!
So yeah they have some foot hold into real events that are really astounding. However lets not take this truth of the galaxy and turn it into an Apocalypse.

in all honesty ive read about the sun storms, there was an article on yahoo news saying there was a pretty big solar flare that indicated the sun cycle was begining any day now, ill see if i can dig up the article again, it said i believe radio waves and power grids in california was effing up, but theres been no news reports of it, so how much is true i cant say
http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1558,2072861,00.asp?kc=ETRSS02129TX1K0000532
theres a link showing some info on the solar flares in the past disrupting somethings nothing major but just a few things

Look at you, you can use big words! Please... Stop pretending your really smart. It is doing you more harm then good.Anti-Basic;766047 said:
O yeah, what do you want? Details? There predictions. Of course there's going to be uncertainty. The point that I was making is what I SEE and where I think this world is headed.

Yep, the meaning of life is death. Besides survival and replication the point of life is to prepare your self for your own death.TheRockstar2253;766145 said:

rofl ambiguity is a big word? what are you, 5? It's the best word that fits, and I used it. If words like that make you feel inferior to someone like me of all people, you really have issues.

Sure. Usually when you make a prediction you have some sort of evidence to back up your claim. Or at least that's what intelligent people do before doing such. Weathermen excluded. Without any evidence or anything, your predictions don't hold water.
