What will happen in 10 days?

[Laufey]

This?



Or this?

[Benvolio]

Why would anyone believe that the ancient Mayans could predict the future better than we can? If they could, why could they not avoid their own demise?

[refujiunderground]

this. they always come up with this bullshit every 10 years. why the hell would anybody want the world to end anyway? if they hate the world or life so much, why don't they just kill themselves instead of hoping that something else kills them and takes us out along with their sorry asses?

[BENDERBOY]

Bugger all.

[Audio Tech]

We can't even predict next months weather......

[jensu846]

last i checked.... there's 365.25 days/year (including leap year) and the mayan calandar is off 1.377 years.... soooo the world should have ended 1.377 years AGO....

Party spoiler!

[MoufOfKhaos]

Hopefully people coming into the store buying all sorts of supplies and causing all sorts of riots and sucking all sorts of dick for the first time.

[G-Lexington]

In ten days, we'll choose the next "End Days".

I think Katla might go off on the 21st.

[AshyPhoenix]

My 23rd birthday.

[refujiunderground]

My 23rd birthday.

you're 22 years old? thought you said that you was 28?

[AshyPhoenix]

Do I really look that old?



No, I'm only 22. For now. Everyone always thinks I'm way older than I actually am for some reason.

"The Mayan solar calendar has no leap years, and is 365 days long. However, this is not the calendar that is being used to predict the end of the world; the Mayans used a long-count calendar for extremely long periods of time. The concept of leap-years is irrelevant to this calendar system, because it's not based on solar years, simply on math.

You know how we use a base-10 counting system? (10, 100, 1000, 10,000 etc.) The Mayans used a modified base-20 counting system for keeping track of days - the second cycle went up to 18 rather than 20. So they tracked days in cycles of 20, 360, 7200, 144000, 2880000, etc.

We're coming to the end of one of the 144,000 day cycles. Today (March 6, 2012) can be expressed at 12.19.19.3.10 on the Mayan long-count calendar. This calendar will reach 12.19.19.17.19, on December 20, and then turn to 13.0.0.0.0 on December 21. This happens roughly every 400 years."

Only the GOP/TP will take heed of this crap!

[JustMe5]

Absolutely nothing at all. I can't believe lots of people have bought into the whole "December 2012" crap.

[MikeyLove]

Only the GOP/TP will take heed of this crap!

Another way to look at it...people could very well bust the stores, and the economy will have a very big boost! What say ya'll?

[Laufey]

I'm gonna dance with Britney on the 20th just in case.

you look about your age. no wonder why you look like you're 21. as for why everyone thinks you're older than what you actually are, it's that you act very mature for your age.

[desertboi]

I think it's just going to be another day. Now there will be people who will probably cause some sort of problem, like looting or something stupid like that, but the World will still be here on December 22.

There are still Mayans around, and they're having a big laugh over this.

[cgymike]

Within hours this thread will be obsolete since "10" days will soon be 22/12/12 ...New Zealand is already into 12/12/12 as is oz

Something will happen any day except March 11, 329759023320576520765207620620760720

[quasar]

I'll answer on Friday or Saturday. I can't predict more than about 7 days in advance... At the moment I'm inclined to say 'something' (not necessarily BIG), but something like a large earthquake in the Asia-Pacific region again. My only worry is that because there's been such a focus on the date, it would be an ideal opportunity for another false flag 'terrorist attack' or the start of a major conflict so that they can 'claim' the date as the beginning of a 'new world' or 'crusade'.

[cgymike]

There may be a bunch of practical jokes played out on the 21st though....I can think of one but alas it aint legal so not sayin'

[AlmondMilk]

All dicks will increase in size

[HunterM]

I'll be having sex. Don't bother me just in case we may not live another day.

you look like you're 23 instead of 26. i think i said that to you already. you act like your age.

man, how did you managed to stay looking young, man? help me, i'm looking old.

[JP.]

^ Back and forth thinking whether you're 3 or 95 yo
Well, Idk man..at least that's what Im doing ^^

[Nishin]

That doesn't make sense... If you can predict future... IOW if future is predictable then it can't be avoided... otherwise it is not future but potentiality...

[Gimmecat]

If event #1 were to occur it would save me the trouble of having to drag my sorry ass out to look for work, and then wake up every morning at 5-6 AM to go to said job, deal with annoying customers who text while you're explaining how the new product they just purchased works, and finally coming home to get maybe 4-5 hours of sleep depending on whether the stoners next door have lost their boombox or if the people below me decide to blast their crappy work out music at 4:00-5:00 in the morning. Since I am quite familiar with Murphy's Law and nothing EVER tends to go my way I am going to go ahead and say Event #2 will take place.

[Laufey]

Maybe it's time for medication?

[cgymike]

I will probably jack off in 10 days....so yeah that will happen

[Laufey]

Why would you cum on a banana?

Don't you think the people who calculated this date based on the Mayan calendar were probably smart enough to account for that?

[M10000]

dirty bomb

[Thynight]

I leave for my trip on the 21st.

[westly34]

i will be getting a b.j

Remember Y2K, exactly, when the end comes nobody knows the date, that is the key.

I predict the sun will rise in the east, set in the west, and life, such as it is, will go on.

[BillyT]

If the world ends on the 21st I hope it is in the morning, I am scheduled to work that night.

[-Callum-]

I'll be paying tuition. Yeah, the 21st is going to be awesome!

*Cries in a corner because Student Accounts made tuition due four days before Christmas.*

Imagine if the sun suddenly rises in the west and sets in the east on December the 21st

[Axxess]

People have been predicting the end of the world long before I was born, and they'll continue long after I am dead. They've never been right before now, and I don't see how this will be any different.

My 23rd birthday.

Really? That's interesting. I've never seen so much hype and buildup for someone's birthday.

Everyone always thinks I'm way older than I actually am for some reason.

I think Johann described it best.

Hey, don't knock it til you've tried it

[jensu846]

.nope.....

[Scealle]

I think the second. Not believing in the first. Even my friends who deeply religious does not think the world will end just because some maya calendar predicted so. Remember the Millennium thing twelve years ago? There are movies and series made about it but still.

[Ram]

Oh fuck? 21st? LOL I thought it was supposed to end on the 12th?

[frankfrank]

I voted "the middle one" but I would have liked to see a fourth option - definitely not a choice that's entirely intuitive and, no doubt, something that the OP (and most other people) didn't think about:

4. Most likely it will be just another ordinary day, but major things DO happen every so often, and therefore something big could happen on the 21st because of statistical chance.

For example, the huge earthquake and tsunami in Japan in March last year, it could have just as easily not happened until late next week instead. There have usually been natural disasters (of such horrific magnitude) in the world perhaps once every decade, but I can think of THREE of them in this Century already - the others being the Indonesian tsunami, and the earthquake in Haiti. If something like that happens once every ten years, the chances of something on 21 December are something like 1-in-3,652.

Unlikely, but by no means impossible.

Man-made catastrophes are often even more horrific (such as the slaughters in China's Cultural Revolution, Cambodia, East Timor, Rwanda, Vietnam - which was mostly "our" doing starting nearly fifty years ago - etc. - mentioning things I remember well during my lifetime), but most man-made disasters CANNOT be relegated to a specific date. The only one I can think of in recent years that relates to a SPECIFIC date was "NineOneOne" in 2001. The death toll on that 11 September 2001, though massive, was almost minuscule compared to some of the worse natural disasters.

Man-made disasters, of course, are as old as humanity. Before 1950 there were The Holocaust and Stalin...not to mention World War II...and one can go back - way back - to the Crusades, keep going back to the Punic Wars, The Trojan War, etc. And it goes back even farther.
