Some have pegged the end on 12/21/12 at the moment of the winter solstice, which at one point had been estimated by the U.S. Naval Observatory to take place at 11:11 UTC, or 6:11 a.m. EST. The Northern Hemisphere's winter solstice, when the top half of the planet (everything north of the equator) will face away from the sun, actually occured at 11:12 UTC, or 6:12 a.m. EST. Either way, the moment has ticked by, and the world is still here.

Heh, my friend went to a local convenience store last night and when he brought his stuff up to the counter the price was ridiculously low. He asked about the low price and the clerk said, "it's our apocalpse sale, everything in the store half off". He asked how long the sale would be in force and she said til 6pm then they're closing for good as the world will be ending.

Customers cleaned out the shelves.
 
It could be running late. Lets give them until 11:59pm :2razz: :mrgreen:
 
It's an apocalypse for a kinder, gentler era.

Apocalypse's just ain't what they used to be. My buddy was tellin' me 'bout the last one and I guess it was awesome. As far as it goes. Sounds a lot like a "Plan B," don't ya' think?
 
They forgot to take into account the leap years, so we will reset the doomsday clock like we do everytime one comes and goes.....
 
Anyone that believes in apocalypse predictions can feel free to send me all their money. You won't need it anyway :mrgreen:
 
All that time I spent watching zombie apocalypse movies to prepare myself.....all for nothing......

Crap. This means I have to buy gifts.

Let's put it this way - If the Mayans were unable to even predict their own demise, why do some people think they could have predicted ours? LOL.

Are you saying you're going to be left behind?

Am I just dreaming or is this reality?

Bro, what are dreams but altered realities? The physical mind is conjuring up a non-physical world that exists within the physical realm of your synapses...
