"there is absolutely no scientific evidence supporting the claim that there could be a geomagnetic reversal around the time of December 21st, 2012.
Should we experience geomagnetic reversal in our lifetimes (which we probably won't), it is unlikely that we'll be cooked alive by the Solar Wind, or be wiped out by cosmic rays. It is unlikely that we'll suffer any mass extinction event (after all, early man, ***** erectus, lived through the last geomagnetic shift, apparently with ease). We'll most likely experience aurorae at all latitudes whilst the dipolar magnetic field settles down to its new, reversed state, and there might be a small increase in energetic particles from space (remember, just because the magnetosphere is weakened, doesn't mean we wont have magnetic protection), but we'll still be protected by our thick atmosphere." - jowSithm, on 10/04/2008, -11/+92The Mayan prophecy doesn't actually say that the world will end on dec 21, 2012, it says that the world AS WE KNOW IT will end. VERY BIG DIFFERENCE!!!! One of the things most people forget when quoting this prophecy is that the Mayans also believed that EVERY end is a new beginning. In this case the dawn of a new age. An age of peace and prosperity for those (and only those) who are capable of dealing with the change and shock of having everything they know change so rapidly in the days leading up to 2012. Dec 21, 2012 is the day when the critical mass of humanity wakes up and realizes that by ***** over other people, life forms and what not, you are only really ***** yourself over. If you're going to quote a prophecy, get it right!
go ahead, Digg me down. - tidal, on 10/04/2008, -3/+58The U.S. Government will come together at the last minute and pass a multi-billion dollar earth bailout plan.
- pafema, on 10/04/2008, -2/+41Apparently we're not even going to read the headline on this one.
- inactive, on 10/04/2008, -9/+40Oh the humanity, all those broken compasses!
- DestroyFascism, on 10/04/2008, -12/+42And Nebu will crash with Earth casing catastrophe, Jesus will come down riding a spaghetti horse and Tom Cruise will become Master of the Alien Universe after being abducted by Sumerian Ships that rose from the desert sands with Allah and his 1000 virgins.
(Virgins?)
How boring... - Zanarkand, on 10/04/2008, -1/+28As long as Duke Nukem Forever comes out before then, let it happen...***** it.
- inactive, on 10/04/2008, -1/+23apparently the magnetic reversal has already affected their servers.
- lacidar1, on 10/04/2008, -5/+27Will my boyscout compass still work?
- Ibox, on 10/04/2008, -0/+19My gf is bipolar, so she'll be fine.
- sangres, on 10/04/2008, -0/+19well said
- thePTS, on 10/04/2008, -1/+20light shows for everyone!!
- Cenobite, on 10/04/2008, -0/+17They didn't, but we were able to translate it.
Sort of like getting a Linux binary driver to run on FreeBSD. - AgmLauncher, on 10/04/2008, -1/+17If anyone's been keeping track, the score so far has been
Doomsday/Apocalyptic prophets: 0
The planet: 9327492374934793479347
Anyone want to make bets that 2012 will make it 9327492374934793479348? - Relentl3ss, on 10/04/2008, -2/+18My Calendar ends every single year on December 31st...
- juliohm, on 10/04/2008, -0/+15... and gather a team of top (cool, good looking) scientists, geologists, plus one jackass celebrity geek to go into the center of the earth and detonate nukes at specific locations to prevent global disaster.
all that in some crazy ass high tech vehicle/driller/tank/ship build out of some strongest material ever known to man.. which by the way doesn't even show up in the periodic table... 'cause... you know... the government keeps it secret. - franklymister, on 10/04/2008, -3/+18RTFA
- kakwakas, on 10/04/2008, -0/+15IT'S A ***** TORNADO!
- Ninh, on 10/04/2008, -8/+23Also Xenu will arrive and beam up Tom Cruise.
- geneusutwerk, on 10/04/2008, -2/+17"Take the magnetic north pole for example (pictured left); it has accelerated north over the Canadian plains from 10 km per year in the 20th Century to 40 km per year more recently. It is thought that if the point of magnetic north continues this trend, it will exit North America and enter Siberia in a few decades time."
The commies are stealing our magnetic north! This must be stopped. - theRealNyee, on 10/04/2008, -3/+16its just the end of the calender.. if we freaked out every year a calender ends we'd probably of killed ourselves already..
- dullnation, on 10/04/2008, -0/+13We can only wish.
- chrisinsocalif, on 10/04/2008, -4/+17Great, now my GF will even have a harder time trying to find directions.
- KingGorilla, on 10/04/2008, -1/+12Then one man takes this incredibly seriously but can only manage to create an escape ship that can only carry his baby son. And
that son grew up to become superman - darkera, on 10/04/2008, -4/+15It'll be the worst Earth changing event since Y2K!
- r0b0, on 10/04/2008, -1/+11I'm fairly sure theres no prophecy about the world ending... The calendar ends, and people have interpreted it to be the world ending, or some sort of catastrophic event.
- Saulidus, on 10/04/2008, -0/+10Wrong. They were Mayans not Aztecs and the calender doesn't stop it just starts over from the very beginning, like a clock. Maybe next time you'll learn to have actual knowledge on whatever crap you're spewing.
- somnambulistz, on 10/04/2008, -1/+11you don't have a gf,
- dullnation, on 10/04/2008, -0/+10He said Mormons, not morons.
- sifeliz, on 10/04/2008, -1/+11I'll bring the Pink Floyd you bring the uhhh..
- inactive, on 10/04/2008, -1/+11Mirror plox
- inactive, on 10/04/2008, -2/+11Well said, but wrong. There is no Mayan "prophesy" about this. There is however, the Mayan calendar, which is not capable of producing dates AFTER the gregorian "december 21, 2012". This is not a prophesy, but instead imperfect calendar math.
- evilmonkey0013, on 10/04/2008, -1/+9did you even read the article?
- chrissku, on 10/04/2008, -1/+9Mirror?
- Troy64, on 10/04/2008, -1/+9Does that mean our toilets will flush backwards?
- Clbull, on 10/04/2008, -0/+7Dugg for making me laugh
- tikibaloni, on 10/04/2008, -1/+8mirror, its not loading for me
- Dzerzhinsky, on 10/04/2008, -1/+8I had to stop reading at this line "Without GPS, our airliners will also plough into the ground… "
- anonysumo, on 10/04/2008, -2/+9The prophetic implications ascribed to the calendar result from the astronomical correspondence at the calendar's conclusion. The (gregorian) date of 12-21-2012 is when the Earth's winter solstice occurs in a direct line between the Earth and the galactic center. An extremely rare event, to which some will ascribe astrological significance.
- afterforever21, on 10/04/2008, -1/+7....mormons?
your thinkin scientologist... their the nut jobs with the whole evil alien, spaceship dc-10 jibberish
dumbass - scabbers, on 10/04/2008, -2/+8Description fail.
- djholybolt, on 10/04/2008, -4/+10Actaully.. They were very accurate with dates. Their calander is the most accurate calander ever made. And the whole Europeans? they had a prophesy that a white man with a beard would come save them.. they thought the conquistadors were the white men with beards that the prophesy proclaimed.. so it sorta turned out the wrong way for them from there.
- KephasPT, on 10/04/2008, -0/+6Yeah.... Keep waiting for that one....
- krische, on 10/04/2008, -1/+7Technically no. That is when the next president gets elected. The term doesn't end till january 2013.
- weirddemon, on 10/04/2008, -1/+7Does anyone have a mirror yet?
- Xaviermgk, on 10/04/2008, -1/+6Alright, good sir, I'll take your bet, if you give me 9327492374934793479348:1 odds...And I shall bet one whole penny. It's worth even more than that in copper if you win!
- Hanklin67, on 10/04/2008, -8/+13Yea but the whole Mayan calender thing is just bull. We will not all die in 2012 because the Mayans were Amazon Indians who wore thongs an couldn't even predict their own death when the Europeans came over. Plus people have been predicting the end of the world since the beginning and how many have been right?
- olenick, on 10/04/2008, -2/+7Tinfoil hats will protect you -- buy yours now.
- djholybolt, on 10/04/2008, -0/+4That's for damn sure
- roebeet, on 10/04/2008, -1/+5Well... sooner or later, one of them will be (by sheer luck). Of course, they won't be around to tell you "I told you so!".
