- Azimuth1, on 10/10/2007, -7/+83Maybe it had cosmic surgery?
- s14sh3r, on 10/10/2007, -4/+64I blame global warming

- genericwhiteguy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+35I think the guys carving the Mayan calendars just got tired.
Calendar Carver 1: You know, we're 1500 years ahead on this. Think we could take a day off?
Carver 2: Well, Itzamna is pretty meticulous about this stuff... He probably won't like it much.
Carver 1: How about we just say the world ends on that day? Who's gonna know? - Lapdog1123, on 10/10/2007, -12/+43Thats just alittle bit crazy...... Not to sound like a nut job, but Dec 21, 2012 is when all the world calenders, and predictions end. According to the article thats also about the time when "solar maximum" is reached..... curious.... lets all take a trip to mars for Christmas.
- vincrap, on 10/10/2007, -6/+33calm before the storm? are you retarded, what do you expect to happen? read the article next time. this happens every 11 years. It's nothing to worry about
- ChromaVita, on 10/10/2007, -4/+28The same thing happened to Lindsay Lohan...
- Kazanoe, on 10/10/2007, -2/+25On December 21, 2012 I predict that Tin Foil hats will suddenly become fashionable.
All the popular kids will look at me and say 'Man, you were right all along'. - DooM, on 10/10/2007, -1/+22"Calm before the storm" are NASA's words quoted directly FROM THE ***** ARTICLE. It refers not to some cataclysmic event but to the actual solar maximum part of the cycle that this solar minimum indicates is starting up again. Next time try understanding the article.
- dertykevin, on 10/10/2007, -1/+19It happens every 11-12 years. What are these "end of the world" jokes for?
- swrostmore, on 10/10/2007, -2/+18all the world calendars or just the Mayan one? It's supposedly both the solar maximum and around the time Earth's magnetic poles are due to flip. I'm predicting totally bitchin aurora borealis on the 21st (aurora is caused by sunspots and focused on the poles).
- mindblaze, on 10/10/2007, -0/+16it looks like were going to have embark on a mission to reignite the sun soon
- esbern1, on 10/10/2007, -1/+17its a cyclic event...what does that have to do with the end of the world?
- Authustian, on 10/10/2007, -1/+16The end of time approaches. Right on time. Now off to my Ziggurat where i shall be protected from the storms!
- Homunculiheaded, on 10/10/2007, -1/+16The Sun gets EXTREMELY jealous when any of the other planets heat up, even a little bit. Heat, that's the sun's thing, imagine if the Sun had given rise to life-like organisms, how do you think Earth would feel?
- Metylerka, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12I was staring at it the other day and that's the first thing I noticed.
- 0crabby0, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10:( I built an ark...
- licoricewhip, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9Raise shields and engage auxiliary power.
There is ALWAYS auxiliary power.
Always. - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -4/+13Hey were are all the hurricanes?
This year was supposed to be the worst ever. - juandelreal, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9I'll be 42 years old in 2012. Weird coincidence.
- Neiby, on 10/10/2007, -4/+12Actually, the Mayan one doesn't end. It just begins a new era/age at that point. No big deal. It's a myth that there is something mystical about 2012.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9My computer's calender goes to 2250. =X
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+10NO! Big corporations are responsible!
How dare you bring up events that happen in the past happening again. I guess your going to tell me the Earth was once covered ice but it melted and there were dairy farms in Greenland that have been covered in ice until recently. BLASPHEMY!!!!!
Pray to Manbrearpig while you still can! - BESTenemy, on 10/10/2007, -2/+9I blame the horrible London Olympics logo design.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Are you saying our Sun has a drinking problem cause by a dysfunctional family?
You might be right I haven't seen the Sun's father since he was release from jail. - Grego123, on 10/10/2007, -1/+82012 keeps coming up over and over again, just do a little bit of research please
- plainOldFool, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue
- Wolfanoz, on 10/10/2007, -3/+9WE'RE ALL GONNA DIEEEEEEE!
*rolls over and flips pillow* - hockeysmurf, on 10/10/2007, -2/+8It is interesting how even NASA admits that the next peak could be 2012. Or by there description "mid 2012". Damn the Mayans, why couldn't they be more specific. Were you too lazy to finish the calendar or is it the end of the world?
- RSMiller, on 10/10/2007, -3/+9See see! The Sun is causing global warming! Ohh wait...
- Homunculiheaded, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6pet rock.
- lengau, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Ooh! Tough luck you're having! Try again next apocalypse.
- inhaler, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012
scroll down to metaphysical predictions. It's not just the Mayans, it's people like Terrence McKenna, etc. - Kazanoe, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6I hope we get to meet the Transformers that inhabit mars when we go there.
- BESTenemy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5The age of Aquarius is not due till 2150, so can't possibly be that.
- timdorr, on 10/10/2007, -4/+9I see what you did there...
- Azriel7, on 10/10/2007, -0/+42012 is also when we also elect a new president....makes one think.
- deboosher, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4not just regular aids, but super aids.... there's nothing to be scared of..... except for super aids
- Shorties, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Hell no, I took Accutane, ive got none. :)
Anyway seriously I saw a discovery channel thing about how the sun "breaks out" about every 11 years with sunspots, but usually they dont effect us too much. But before we had electricity there was one that was huge, bigger then any we had today, and if we had one like that today it could blow transformers all across the world shutting down power stations for months and destroy billions of dollars worth of electronics. Maybe this is the calm before the storm, maybe we are about to get a huge worldwide EMP as a result from a abnormally big sunspot. - shaka776, on 10/10/2007, -2/+6"Electrified Gas"
*snicker* - silencerider151, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3It's a cycle. It starts at the minimum, reaches maximum, and falls back to minimum to start a new cycle. So every 5 1/2 years it reaches an extreme.
- Tetraca, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Yeah, and aliens will pull a rabbit out of my ass in 2010 because I said so.
- Grego123, on 10/10/2007, -2/+5max activity of the solar cycle should happen somewhere from end of 2011 to mid 2012
- InvisibleMan, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3you do release the calm before the storm is from the NASA website right?... I mean you read the article ... right?
- silencerider151, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Apparently you missed the first 20 comments.
- HairyFotr, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3It would be a better idea to build a nuclear submarine... if there is a flood - good, if there is drought... well, you've got a thick steel house with its own nuclear reactor for power.
- MasterThief117, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Damn, I was being sarcastic.
- MindTrigger, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Even nuttier is that during the solar minimum we are in now, we have actually been seeing activity on the sun that is more inline with past solar maximums. Better have that sunscreen ready for 2012+
- atbnet, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4The Mayan charts relied heavily on astronomy. Most likely the date is just an anamoly more than an end of the world scenario. A solar maximum would be the perfect explanation. The Mayan people are still in existence in fact one lead a tour of Chichen Itza and he didn't seem to worried about 2012.
