Not on December 21st, 2012. And not end of the world. But I think we've got a good shot at the end of civilization as we know it 2020-2040 from (in order of probability) of crazies getting a hold of bad stuff (Nukes, Smallpox, wtf) (HIGH), electronic frying solar flare (Low), pollution/overpopulation/foodriots (Medium).
I like to think we get a technological fix for most of this by 2050 but maybe the odds go up.
Of course eventually, on a long enough timeline, the survival rate drops to zero.
When it's 00:00:01 inKiribati. So probably the world will be over before most Americans even get off work on Thursday.
Seeing as to how the Mayans setup shop around 90?L I'd say more like 12-11 Central.
Seriously though, yeah the Mayans actually had a pretty advanced calendar, and did freaky stuff like know about the 11 year solar cycle. And they were pretty advanced in Astronomy, Language and Architecture. But they were also brutal savages who performed live human sacrifices and worshiped corn (the crop) as an almighty god.
All in all I'm very disappointed the Mayans are in fact a bunch of idiots and the world won't be ending on the 21st

Icesplitter ain't fucking around bro. It seems that the jump in gold prices can only be attributed to the fact that we are setting aside reserves and donating it to Planet X to maintain the world known as Niburu. I think he's on to something here...

I think I'm gonna watchSeeking a Friend for the End of the Worldand cry myself to sleep, forever alone.
The Giant Yodeling Anus from Sphincterica IV is going to beer fart us into oblivion.
i suppose we will see something close to when the last pope died. The number of obligatory recoveries for psychotic episodes have skyrocketed for months in some countries

Title: So When I was Young I Killed What You Call A Grey Alien.
I Killed it with a Knife, but they got the Body and Took it away. It still Haunts me knowing that they remind me of Camel Spiders, but in a Way they actually helped me to accept Things that horrify me.
Atleast I can say that I've never been "Abducted", and that they will never "Get me".
If they even tried, it would be their End.
It's like the "Creeps" won't let me live comfortably, but I don't let them get away with it Either.

Once as a kid I had an eerie experience, I remember waking up and feeling like something was terribly wrong and walked around our farm house, must've been between 7 and 9 years old. I don't remember seeing any of them (greys) back then but that feeling, it's the same when they suppress you to sleep.
I only know the feeling from when it happened twice recently, but thinking back on that it was very similar. So we are a big science experiment. I should smash the matrix computer with a wrench, because I know where it lives, aliens be damned. Everything be damned really, if I smash it the universe will fail to exist, there would again be nothing.
Would nothing be preferable to something? Probably if the something is constant pain. Smash with wrench, don't smash with wrench. I am confounded by the linear existence that is reality. We think we have choice. Obviously I can't smash with wrench because I exist.
Sometimes thinking out loud is just as confusing to others.

(great one)
No I don't suffer migraines or take medication, and no they didn't speak to me (though I tried verbally to communicate to no avail during one encounter where they performed a medical procedure on my back).
A couple of the encounters were in near dream states like the one mentioned above (suppressed mental activity) so the memory of it is more like a dream memory than reality, but there are a few events which occurred in lucid reality.
In my basement one night around 3 am after all my friends had gone offline I went to the bathroom before I turned in, and looking in the window at me was a small creature, about 2 feet tall, which when I looked at it ran away into the night.
It walked upright on 2 thin legs and was frail in appearance though ran ably enough when I saw it. I didn't see details as it was silhouetted from the moonlight but I saw its silhouette clearly enough to realize it was no animal or human.
The other event which is out of place (and this one still hurts my eyes when I think about it...) is I was awake, in a jar or clear tube filled with a transparent fluid, no body, no mouth, just a brain in a jar with needles connected to a machine that penetrated into my eyeballs, I could feel them but with the machine off I could also see past them and through the fluid my brain was suspended in to see a (slightly blurry) short gray aliens face. I used photoshop to try and recreate it a bit, it's close to the one I linked there, though not exact.
It was doing something to the machine I'm connected to, the one I'm probably in even now, being deceived into believing is reality when my reality is that I'm merely a brain connected to a highly advanced computer.
Anyway, after I grasped the situation I was in (not having a body, mouth, or any kind of sensory input except the dull pain from the needles in my eyes), I noticed him reach to my right and as he did, I was instantly back in my body in what you might call a lucid waking state, the way I am right now and you probably are, there was no transition, I was just instantly back in my body in the here and now.
That event lasted less than 30 seconds before I was back in what you would consider to be reality with no discernible difference between what I am experiencing now.
There are other events but those put everything I need to know in perspective for me quite well. I'm no more than a brain in a jar connected to a highly advanced alien computer. My reality is an illusion, I've seen the magician.

Haha ok I can't take wading through their stupidity any more!
This guy is fucked..how can there be people like this? I have to believe he is somehow mixing his dreams with reality and can't at all tell the difference.Holy shit.Ok I'm going to have to go there right now and copy paste some awesome
This happens all the time. Last big one was in May of last year when some Christian radio guy was insistent the world was ending despite his last 2 predictions being wrong. He actually had volunteers who sold all their shit and traveled the country telling people how the world was ending.

Ahhhhahahh I remember that one, was hilarious.
It actually happens more often than you think. There was a massive one back in the 19th century iirc, the bible and Revelations has hardwired the idea of some apocalyptic end of the world into our civilization. Personally I don't see why people find the idea so appealing, but there you go.
