So much for the end of the world.
« on: December 22, 2012, 02:39:55 AM »
Well, as usual, seems like the end of the world didn't come. We still have time to come out with Plan Z before someone picks another random date for the end of the world.

I know that this has been happening since the beginning of recorded civilization, but I am getting really tired of doomsday predictions.

The jokes just arent funny anymore!

I always took them about as serious as dropping a penny on the street. Good for a good laugh, but nothing remotely serious.

A statement I made in 2008 at work is still posted in the office.

"In the beginning, there were two people sitting and talking about the future of the planet. Then a third person approached them, pulled out a cardboard sign that said "The End is Near." and thus the world has been ending ever since."

Fair enough :)

If enough people derive enjoyment from this end-of-the-world then whatever, I'm just jaded to it. Y2k makes these other predictions all seem silly.

At least there was that woman charged over 100$ for a late VHS.

Haven't you heard? There were miscalculations and translation errors. The world will actually end on the 23rd.  :roll:

I wonder what the next excuse will be when the 23rd passes in a quiet and uneventful manner....

Hope no poor chap walked into his boss's office, tea bagged him/her  saying "It's the end of the world! I quit!" and topping it off with the middle finger as they left.

I'm a little late to this party, but:

But this has been around for decades I think. Shadowrun used the Long Count as a basis for the ebb and flow of magic.

Seems that the Mayans, well, they pretty much sucked at predicting, otherwise they could have predicted the end of their own civilzation and stuff I guess.-

You know, when "Miss Cleo" got arrested for fraud, the first thing that went through my mind was, "If she was any kind of a psychic, you'd think she would have seen this coming."

Maybe the world did end, and then got replaced by the current mess.  This has probably happened more than once.  I blame scientists.

When you insult someone by calling them a "pig" or a "dog" you aren't maligning pigs and dogs everywhere.  The same is true of any term used as an insult.

Who said anything about the Mayans predicting anything? Not *everything* you hear on the internet is true.
