The Dec 21st Armageddon Countdown thread....
I have got a feeling the nuttiness will increase as the day draws closer,so decided to be preemptive and start a thread about it.
I just realized I will probably be in San Francisco on the 21st, one of the hotbeds of New Age Nuttiness:jaw-dropp Should be interesting. |

Arm-a geddon out of here, pronto!!

This song is somewhat appropriate, at least for the chorus:

Surely no one is even bothering with this particular doomsday? It's been debunked for months.

I am having some difficulty finding anyone who still believes this one. Even those trumpeting it months and years ago, seemed to have settled into some kind of "spiritual" ending or beginning. Ala Harold Camping.

People are getting jaded waiting for the end.

Still trying to find a way to make some money off this ethically. Don't know if it's possible.
|
If it doesn't happen, does anyone know how to find someone who believes it will who would give me all their assets on December 20th? I could really use it and I'm only half joking.
If it does happen, I won't panic. I'm a cool frood who knows where his towel is. |
I know one lady who is going to ride this to the end. She has a shelter ready and everything......granted it is the same shelter she had ready for Y2k.
|
Err, wait, what? Considering that the woo has been anywhere between it being a prophecy of some god or another doing it, and it being some kind of Earth-destroying cosmic ray woowoo... exactly how's ducking into a cellar going to help with any of those? :p

I don't think we will see much hysteria at all about this date. Nothing compared to y2k. All the prominent gurus in this area have been hedging against anything happening on Dec 21 for years now. And the most gullible people are gullible because they listen to these gurus, not because they ignore them and do their own research. I don't know of a single prominent person who claims that any dramatic and detectible event will occur on Dec 21.

With Y2K nobody could tell you for sure that there aren't computers left in some streetlights who'll stop working... even though they have no need for the date in what they're doing. On the contrary, every single marketing and PR shyster, scammer, con-man and snake-oil peddler was going into overdrive to keep the population scared witless that even their power-cables and headphones need to be replaced or civilization will fall back into the stone-age. Everyone was bombarded with labels even on PC speakers that said "Y2K compatible", which told them that there are some which aren't, and paid-for PR masquerading as news pieces telling them that all is doom and gloom if they don't reach for their checkbooks and make some scammers rich. For all Joe Average could tell, people smarter than him agreed that Y2K is the end of civilization as we know it. But for 2012, pretty much everyone sane just went "no, it ain't, there's no prophecy, and it's not even the end of the piktun fer fork's sake." And they didn't even have any major religious group on their side, to offset that. You can reel people in by pushing the rapture buttons and whatnot, that their religion put in them. But for some heathen Mayan "prophecy"? I don't think anyone got raised to await the return of Quetzalcoatl any more. |
Damn, I forgot about the 21 December. Just this afternoon I accepted a dinner invitation for the evening of the 22nd. Suppose I should call back and cancel.

So, it it supposed to happen all at once? At what time, in what time zone?
Or, assuming it's at GMT, will it occur at 00:00:01 on Dec 21, or at 23:59:59? |

They'll say that it's a "slow entry". The New Age has begun and we will see a new direction of change. Cpl Ferro |

Not a very good assumption, considering the Mayan civilization predates the formation of GMT by. . . oh, a few years. |

I like "Waiting For The End Of The World" by Elvis Costello.

Some guy at a store was talking about this and saying "We won't be here this time next year!". I asked him if I could take his car off his hands on the 20th! "I don't have a car" Crap. |

It's official!
Australia's Prime Minister (head of government) Julia Gillard announces the End of the World: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebtj3gDaE64

Right. That was supposed to be Romney. He was trained to believe he was the White Horse from the time he was a child. Epic fail.

I am still hosting an End of the World Party, though. It will feature a potential-to-view screening of "2012" (I expect at least half the people will be doing the jigsaw puzzle in the other room, except I'll herd everyone into the family room for Escape From LA segment, which is far too funny to miss); a "What I'd Like For My Last Meal" potluck; and a group of good friends.
If luck favors me, there will be some good bad Syfy movies on, too, but whatever. I just like an excuse for the potluck. I think everybody has food that they love, but don't usually eat because it is: A) Too fattening; B) Too much work to make; C) Too expensive; or D) Too good to waste, and too rich to finish before it goes bad. Sometimes a combination of the foregoing. So I expect there to be cheesecake, fabulously evil things involving alfredo sauce, chocolate truffles and possibly exotic alcohol. Plus my justly famous marinated flank steak, which is really good and has actual nutrient value! Anybody up Seattle way, PM me. -- MK |
I've been wondering, is it plausible there will be 'mass suicides' on 21st, or 'statistically significant suicides'?
|
I confidentally predict I shall be in the West end of London shopping on the 22nd December and then the pub.

My daughter is going to wear a red shirt on that Friday, as well as the rest of her friends.

Why red?
