Or Mayan, or whose-ever it is: if it could predict the entire world's end at 12/12/2012, why couldn't it predict its OWN demise in about 300A.D.?? P.S. I'm buying ammo like crazy, just in case. Pat.
A buddy of mine is really into astro physics (go figure)
Anyhow, he tells me that there are a few things going on in 2012, other than the end of a couple of ancient calendars.
1: We will have the planetary alignment previously mentioned, which could cause interesting things to happen, but no one REALLY knows what could happen...doomsayers aside
2: we will pass into another celestial age, the age of Aquarius..last time we passed into "another age " was around AD70...does that date sound famaliar to anyone? the age to come?
I dont see the END OF THE WORLD coming in 2012 myself.
It wil reverse all things. My Harley won't leak oil, my mother-in-laws meatloaf will become edible, and my glock will jam! Oh, the horrors!
Saw an article the other day... I'll see if I can track it down. Basically, They Mayans made a math error. The real "alignment" their calendar predicts isn't until 2200 or so. Off by a couple-hundred years.
Not that this info will change all of the wacko's minds, or stop the flood of disaster movies and Discovery specials...
Here is is. Originally in Dutch:

Unless you have another planet to live on and a way to get there, there is nothing that can be done to prepare. So why worry? Make peace with God and live a fully enjoyable life. Now on the other hand, another ice age is something we can prepare for and probably should. We are far overdue for it, or another yellowstone supervolcano eruption could possibly be something that we could prepare for but not likely. And it is about 100,000 years over due.
Yes, I've thoroughly researched it. It melts the icecaps thus lowering the salinity of the sea water and cools the oceanic conveyor (the ocean currents that control the climate as a whole) and thrusts us into another ice age. A simple 2-4 degree change in ocean temperature will cause an ice age similar to the one that happened when the mammoths were frozen.No dude, it's called Global WARMING, look it up.
