Randomness: Well, Judgment day is ambiguous. At one point all of the good Christians will go to heaven. Then, for 7 months, everybody is a sinner, and the Demon takes over. Then, Jesus and the Demon (the anti-Christ) battle. Judgment day is either the day that people originally get judged to go to heaven, or the day that the battle judges Good or Evil. And this is a Jew saying this, so you know it's true
sp00ge-guru: Why do you all think the world will just suddenly end in 2012 for no reason? this being based off a Mayan prophecy made up thousands of years ago by some guy who didn't know jack shit about science OR judgement day! Its the same lunacy that had people going in 1999.
Randomness: The Mayan community had a more accurate system of measurement for time than any of the leading calenders up to the most recent change to the Gregorian calender. That doesn't mean they know the world will end, but they sure do know when 2012 is
Marcas McCloud: Maybe this happens again and again through history, every, who-knows-how-long periods of time, and we need a space-ship to escape. I believe that 5,000,000 ton Orion would be sufficient for the best that humanity had.
Oh crap, I did it again. God, please spare the Catgirls from my scientific ramblings.
Not Anonymous: Just cuz the calender ends doesnt mean the world is gonna end. You can't expect them to keep carving forever can you? They simply chose to stop on such a cool day when the planets align.
Marcas McCloud: Thank you. Now to my idea, what if it is a clock of the rise and fall of civilizations. Each civilization has a start, a golden age and a fall. What if were following that road. We've had our start and golden age, we will soon have our end if we don't try and find a way around it. Anyway, that is my idea.
Desert_Wollf_Forgotten_Password: He does make a fairly decent argument there. If you look at social/economic view of the world, we really just need one good natural disaster to send us tumbling into the rubble.
Longing for Tentacles: If the world ends, it ends. If it doesn't then I don't have to give up sexy tentacle porn like this. Personally I hope for the later for that reason.

That's true but it depends on what sort of scale. WWII was called a world war but look at the Americans they actually came out RICHER than when they began the war and had a head start on WMDs as well! Perhaps the next natural disaster/man made disaster will allow the tentacle monsters to come out of hiding! (^u^)
TENTACLE MONSTER: WE SHALL TAKE ALL HUMANS AS SLAVES!!!!!!! ALL BOW DOWN TO THE GREAT DATA1!!!!!! !(>u<)!
Marcas McCloud: Hmmm, would I succumb to the tentacle monsters? If they didn't kill me through intercourse or birth. And if they let me have babies with women so our race would continue. Other than that, I'm open.
RockyMountainOysters: The Mayan calender ending doesn't mean the world is going to end, they change their calenders just like we do, their's just lasts an exceptionally long time; relatively, of course.

As for Mayan calandars, I am waiting for people to realize it is a circle, ie it repeats :P
Trance, you just got my mind going. What if the calander is a doomsday clock in a different, more subtle way...
