- balerhgae, on 10/12/2007, -8/+2692012... omg that coincides with the end of the Mayan calendar. We're ALL GONNA DIEEEE!
- skewh, on 10/12/2007, -3/+102RTFA and find out.
- DrScott, on 10/12/2007, -5/+96Some say the end is near.
Some say well see armageddon soon.
I certainly hope we will.
I sure could use a vacation from this... - rnwen2750, on 10/12/2007, -4/+85That was my first thought too...
- rnwen2750, on 10/12/2007, -2/+77Exactly! Those kids in the hospital I went to visit who are dying of cancer are really bad people.

Jackass. - jwick63, on 10/12/2007, -6/+80@ ugm2099
The sun's polarity flips about every 11 years not too big a deal. http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2001/ast15feb_1.htm
Its the earth's polarity flip you should be paranoid about. = no protection from UV and gamma radiation while its flipping - underthelinux, on 10/12/2007, -2/+64Yeah but 20 * 2 + 0 * 1 + 2 = 42. So that book is even righter.
- bigpeeler, on 10/12/2007, -1/+612012 = election year. That Al Gore is one sneaky son of a.......
- Andicow, on 10/12/2007, -3/+55I've already got my tinfoil hat, giant bag 'o popcorn, and lawnchair set up on the roof for 12/21/2012.
It's going to be awesome!
edit- @ugm, as the person above me stated, it is our polarity to be concerned about. I actually did see some Mayan/Armageddon show on History that said a solar storm is one of the scenarios that could cause this... blahblahblah massive death ensues... Stuff like that. Pretty fascinating stuff! Really! - mmortal03, on 10/12/2007, -1/+52Buying stock in skin cancer treatment companies would probably be smarter. You're betting that people will wise up. I'm betting that they won't.
- Nedlog23, on 10/12/2007, -2/+48Stock market insider tip:
Buy sun tan lotion stock now! - Lutz, on 10/12/2007, -3/+45It's ok, you're all welcome to my and my friends "Ascension party" 2012. We are prepared.
- Lord_oftheTrons, on 10/12/2007, -4/+41Learn to swim.
- 1freelectron, on 10/12/2007, -3/+40@lonesomefighter - those are lyrics from a TOOL song
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+382012 is when Hunab Ku will happen according to the Mayans, they say it's when big change will happen in the world.
Like in the Roleplaying game Shadowrun 2012 is when humans rediscover magic, though I doubt it will be that cool. - nodong, on 10/12/2007, -0/+35The satellites won't fall to earth any faster than they would if they were working. They're in orbit.
- AntBing, on 10/12/2007, -2/+36No, I'm pretty sure it's a fact that Hanson sucked.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -5/+37"Now how the ***** can we predict this?"
by reading the mayan calendar ;) - JQP123, on 10/12/2007, -2/+31No, it means that the effects of green house gases are so severe that they are now starting to affect the sun.
And it's all the USA's fault for not signing the Koyoto swindle ... er, uh treaty. - toros, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3120+1+2 is 23..the movie is right
- spikes, on 10/12/2007, -5/+32I'll have my CB ready, DX time! :D
- Wonderkind, on 10/12/2007, -13/+40Oh no! The ice caps are melting!
Where is Al Gore when you need really him? - cypher35, on 10/12/2007, -4/+31"2012... omg that coincides with the end of the Mayan calendar."
or prelude to the full scale alian invasion according to the X-Files... - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+27"The 11'th of August 2012 is the end of the current period according to the Mayans"
That's my Birthday! NOOOOOOOO!!!!! - musters, on 10/12/2007, -3/+29No where in the Mayan culture does it say that the end of the calendar does it say that the end of the calendar is the end of all time. However, I do believe there are some events that are going to happen in 2012, including this solar storm, that are going to cause complete and utter chaos on earth and we should all be prepared for this. One of the more serious predictions is some scientists believe that due to certain planet alignments the earths magnetic core is scheduled to reverse, which could potential change sea currents, weather patterns, and unleash earthquakes.
I'm not here to bash other ideas, I'm just saying to everyone, none of us really know what is going to happen, so just be prepared. - PLUMCRAZY, on 10/12/2007, -8/+33I found the Flying Spaghetti Monster, but at the time I was feeling a little peckish and I ate him.
As deities go, he sure was delicious. - xenuxenuts, on 10/12/2007, -4/+25We predict it by cutting open an opossum and reading it's entrails.
- TheInfamousOne, on 10/12/2007, -1/+22oo i need to go up in a space ship so I can get a cool power like the human torch.
- rockforever, on 10/12/2007, -6/+27I think its so amazing how accurate their calenders are. The 11'th of August 2012 is the end of the current period according to the Mayans. Still pretty creepy
- Netmindstorm, on 10/12/2007, -2/+23Humm, weather.com's 5 year forecast doesn't have anything other than "partly cloudy"....maybe they'll up the UV index
- CanceledCzech, on 10/12/2007, -2/+22Things that are supposed to happen in 2012:
1. A giant asteroid is supposed to come too close for comfort.
2. Massive solar storm.
3. Arrival of Mayan snake god Quetzalcoatl.
I'll be 21 before this year rolls by, and thank god, because I'm gonna need all the booze I can handle - Ecowarrior, on 10/12/2007, -2/+22I have to wonder what this will do to all of our satellites
- avasol, on 10/12/2007, -4/+23@bigpeeler
And since Santa is in charge of giving out presents, who do we blame if we don't get that new PS3 we wished for?
I'm asking since you seem well versed in mythology. - bittie, on 10/12/2007, -1/+19Double-You Tee Eff???
- cheshire76, on 10/12/2007, -4/+22@sameagain
I beg to differ. Michael Bolton, the singer, is a no talent ass clown.
See you down in Arizona Bay. - mfratt, on 10/12/2007, -4/+22...And in 2112 the Priests of Syrinx will rise to control the Solar Federation.
- Blisshead, on 10/12/2007, -1/+19this guy has drugs. good ones it seems.
- Shaymus22, on 10/12/2007, -0/+17Hahahaha! It'll be the REAL Shutdown day! :D
- crosswick, on 10/12/2007, -3/+20Well, some say this is the vacation, and 2012 is going to be our trip back home. I like to think of it that way.
- Empyrean, on 10/12/2007, -2/+19Actually the 12/21/2012 date is about transformation, not death. Although death is a form of transformation depending on how you look at it, I think the Mayans had a little bit more insight, and it goes beyond death into transformation of all things, physical and spiritual.
There is also the aspect of the Galactic Alignment, where our Sun aligns itself damn near close to the galactic equator.

Only 'time' will tell I suppose. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+18@avasol: Santa can't be fooled. The kids who didn't get PS3's or Wiis for Christmas were bad. They tortured animals, stomped on bugs, and touched themselves.
And the bad kids who got PS3's and Wiis were really a punishment to the parents for raising bad kids. - tkstock, on 10/12/2007, -1/+18Did you notice those charts? The solar cycles since the 1920's have consistently been stronger than the earlier times - I wonder if that gives credence to the people claiming the sun cycles have more effect on global warming than mankind does?
- tkstock, on 10/12/2007, -4/+20@citizen
That's Virginians, not virgins. A common mis-interpretation. - Nedlog23, on 10/12/2007, -1/+17You sir, are a genius.
- sameagain, on 10/12/2007, -4/+20being as music is a matter of opinion, not fact; 'better' doesn't have a definition.
- zadadka, on 10/12/2007, -5/+19At which point, a blonde appeared and said "God has a plan for all of us Gaius"......
- BZKyle, on 10/12/2007, -7/+20/me hands out tin foil hats
- LordZodd, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14ZOMG! You are all missing the point. We have to watch out for the predicted SOLAR ZOMBIES!
From TFA:
'"Once the corpses (magnetic knots) are reincarnated (amplified), they become buoyant and float back to the surface." Presto—new sunspots!' - straygambit, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13Yeah, but don't tell my cable company.
If they find out they can have that much of a window to show up, it'll take forever to get anything done. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11Only for the Unix clock!
