- NotOptium, on 05/10/2008, -0/+52I did my final term paper in high school on why the world will end in 2012: because the bifurcation points of the quasi-spriritual force "aether" happen in line with Phi and the gaps between these points will become infinitely tiny December 2012. I got an A. My teacher's only comment was "You make a good case, but I hope you have the sense to realize it's *****."
- Panda200x, on 05/10/2008, -2/+42The Mayan calander comes to an end at 2012 - it doesn't mean that the world ends - it's like the beginning of a new cycle or something. Just like the phases of the moon. (I think. Wikipedia etc.)
- DomZy, on 05/10/2008, -2/+34"The leader of the group, Wayne Bent, claims to be the son of God.
In early 2007, Bent said that the world would end on Halloween of that year. That apparently fell through.."
Imagine Jesus trying to pull that *****.. - fr3ddie, on 05/10/2008, -7/+391. predict end of the world
2. create cult based on said predictions
3. profit! - GhostWithToast, on 05/10/2008, -2/+35This guy looks like he's from Remulac, a small town in France.
- xkorbin, on 05/10/2008, -2/+31????
- Anpheus, on 05/10/2008, -1/+21It's an urban legend / myth that the Mayan calendar ends in 2012. It's just like OUR calendar and the year 9999. What do we do when we get to the year 10,000? WE ADD A DIGIT.
- moocow1452, on 05/10/2008, -0/+21Warning, your subscription to Mayansoft Earth will expire on December 12th, 2012. Would you like to renew for a last chance offer of $200 dollars per millennium?
- foltaggio, on 07/11/2008, -0/+20No, we suffer from Y10K bugs.
- SirBrittanicus, on 05/10/2008, -0/+20So I get ONE year out of college?
This blows. - inactive, on 05/10/2008, -16/+34Obama is truly the panacea, he's the answer to all the problems in the world, without Obama this country will stop existing within the next year. Obama knows everything, he is the essence of omniscience, the most brilliant man that ever lived, he has a PhD from every university in the world, he cured cancer and AIDS one day before brushing his teeth. Obama is also the most charismatic person in the world, he went through hell as a prisoner of war in WWII by the Japanese, he convinced every republican to vote for him. Obama is also the strongest human being that ever lived, when the moon and the earth were once the same body he separated them with his bare hands, he also is able to stay up for up to 3 years without feeling any effects on his consciousness whatsoever. Obama is also the most clever person in the world, he once found out how to win the presidential primary after just one state, he once was able to rob a swiss bank and steal over 50 billion dollars worth of Nazi gold, which he generously gave to Israel.
Conclusion: Obama is the greatest human being that ever existed, he will solve all the worlds problems with a snap of his fingers, a vote for anybody besides Obama is a vote for eternal damnation and the destruction of the earth.
/sarcasm - Deist4Life, on 05/10/2008, -0/+17Funny how it seems that ever year the world is going to end...then...magically...on January 1st we are all still here.
- BestJaxx, on 05/10/2008, -0/+16I love your teacher.
- WriterSD, on 05/10/2008, -0/+16Sigh. Another fascinating article derailed by Obama comments.
- noumuon, on 05/10/2008, -0/+16he really blew it on that one
- Abomonog, on 05/10/2008, -2/+17Actually it is a half myth. The Mayan calender DOES end in 2012 and it does say that it's the end of the world.
Here's the hitch. It says the end of the world as we know it. It doesn't say the world will blow up or everyone will die. It says only that in 2012 that the world will change. Not end. - sbraidley, on 05/10/2008, -3/+18To be honest you can believe that the world will end in 2012 or whenever you want but the number of times these people have been wrong people will stop to even listen to them. I myself do not believe the world will end in 2012. The world as we know it will end upon a mass nuclear war or when yellow stone park erupts and the sun is blocked out.
- CiXeL, on 05/10/2008, -11/+26if obama doesnt win. i will be moving out into the countryside and learning to live off the land because i know collapse wont be far away.
- JedicodeWarrior, on 05/10/2008, -0/+15"The leader of the group, Wayne Bent, claims to be the son of God" ... that right there should a red flag to anyone in his gang of idiots.
- spenner, on 05/10/2008, -6/+21And then the world will be ending in 2018 and then the world will end in 2024...and so on.
- VitriolAndAngst, on 05/10/2008, -0/+14God is gettin' busy with all these kids he keeps havin'
- Malacandra95, on 05/10/2008, -2/+14Jesus actually did make an end of the world prediction that fell through, according to the Gospel of Mark, Chapter 13: In this chapter, Jesus speaks of a "tribulation", nation rising against nation, earthquakes, and the coming of false Christs and false prophets, the stars falling from the sky, and the coming of the Son of Man "in the clouds with great power and glory". Then, in verse 30, he tells when this will happen. "Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done."
The Gospel of Matthew say much the same thing: Jesus predicted the end of the world, and his return, within the lifetimes of those listening to him. - honutt, on 05/10/2008, -1/+12Your life pretty much ends after you graduate from college anyway
- pstroll, on 05/10/2008, -5/+16Digg is my doomsday cult
- JedicodeWarrior, on 05/10/2008, -0/+10"... that time-wasting internet site ..." care to explain this??
- JQP123, on 05/10/2008, -0/+10Q: What's the difference between a cult and a religion?
A: Social acceptability - inactive, on 05/10/2008, -1/+10You forgot Rainbows come out of his butt.
- persimmon, on 05/10/2008, -0/+9I always wondered about this. I was just discussing cults who say the world will end in whatever, go up to the mountains with their kids, dogs, and supplies, then when nothing happens on that date the leader just says he calculated wrong, but it will happen soon, and everyone just accepts it. It makes me sad.
- noahhoward, on 05/10/2008, -3/+11You do know what the collapse of the US will do the the world economy right? We're all so interdependent now it'd be like a house of cards.
- svetty, on 05/10/2008, -0/+9That's a sad way to think my friend. Remember, the real world sucks. Stay in school. Stay as long as you can.
- DCGaymer, on 05/10/2008, -8/+15You're just described the Republican party.
- neko, on 05/10/2008, -0/+7No, the date is GMT 03:14:07, Tuesday, January 19, 2038.
- inactive, on 05/10/2008, -0/+6"What do doomsday cults do when the apocalypse doesn't come?"
Cash your check. - KayinAngel, on 05/10/2008, -0/+6the world already ended, you just still believe you're ok.
- Black6x, on 05/10/2008, -0/+6Repent NOW!!! No, wait.... ok, now!
- wynja, on 05/10/2008, -6/+13Mmm, they change the doomsday date?
- MixMastaKooz, on 05/10/2008, -0/+7Funny how the end times is always an even numbered year!
- raindogmx, on 05/10/2008, -0/+6At least you'll be out of college debt.
- ArchangelZLT, on 05/10/2008, -2/+8Just in case you think it's the first time we ever read OMG-technology-and-progression-are-evil articles, it's not. If you think it's a pity you didn't born 10,000 years ago, cry over it as you want, just don't drag us into it.
- vman81, on 05/10/2008, -1/+7no, he didn't
nowhere did nostradamus EVER mention any specific date, and anyone who says that is just repeating misunderstandings. - NYCvibe, on 05/10/2008, -0/+4This just in from National Science Lab, "Next update on the demise of the world on 2012 coming in 2013."
- gavin422, on 05/10/2008, -0/+6Light years are a measure of distance, not time.
- Abomonog, on 05/10/2008, -2/+8He's right. The decline in steel production alone would severely strain every other government in the industrialized world.
If the U.S. falls it won't be the only country that falls. - NatrlSelection, on 05/10/2008, -1/+6I predict that's when the last Mayan will die. I imagine an "Apacolypto" style chase through the jungle, ending at the stroke of midnight as a cowboy shoots the last of the Mayan bloodline.
- raindogmx, on 05/10/2008, -0/+4But.. the world has ended many times over!
It ended for the Greeks, for the Mesopotamic, for the Egyptians, for the Romans, for Native Americans, for the Europeans on WWI and II, for the Japanese. Fortunately (or unfortunately) it is very unlikely that it will end for the entire human race, and to say that the whole planet is doomed is pretentious *****. - ZigVicious, on 05/10/2008, -0/+4No, but I adjusted it accordingly.
- Tyrghast, on 05/10/2008, -3/+7i know that we on digg exist solely to bash conservatives, but just to play devil's advocate for a moment: the democratic party is just as corrupted and convoluted as the republican party. party politics has just been on a downward slope for the last thirty years.
- Manthem, on 05/10/2008, -1/+5The calendar resets more than it ends. And they don't just add a digit; they start over at 0.0.0.0.0 -- either way, nothing will happen and we'll continue living our lives like normal.
