It's the End of the World Over Here

[doomdragon6]

I'm over here in Japan, it's 6:40 in the morning, and SO FAR nothing terrible has happened. I had a dream about an earthquake and some pigmen with Freddy Kruger gloves, but that seems irrelevant.

I'll be sure to keep you posted about any horrors that befall us.

REPORT ANY SUSPICIOUS HAPPENINGS

I'm working at a slower speed than usual today. Could this be manbearpig? Or the Maya?

 

[Gared]

It doesn't count until it's 12/21/2012 Mayan time.

Yeah, I think the alien-gods are probably coming back in approximately 31 hours.

 

[Gusto]

Fucking timezones, how do they work?

 

[doomdragon6]

Fucking timezones, how do they work?

Magic, right?

Did the Mayans account for leap days and leap seconds?

Their calendar is more accurate than the Atomic Clock.

 

[North_Ranger]

An hour and 32 minutes into the last day on earth. No signs of zombies, black holes or anything particularly out of the ordinary yet.

 

[Espy]

Their calendar is more accurate than the Atomic Clock.

WELL CRAP

 

[Ravenpoe]

If the world is gonna end, it needs to do it soon, or I'm going to have to go to work tomorrow.

 

[The_Khan]

damnit, you mean I have to pay back the 12 million dollar loan?

True story:

"You don't want to die a virgin, do you?"
"If you're the alternative, then yes I do."

 

[ThatNickGuy]

Oh God, WE'RE ALL GONNA LIVE!!

...wait.

 

[Chad Sexington]

I DEMAND THE APOCALYPSE!

 

[ThatNickGuy]

I DEMAND THE APOCALYPSE!

 

[Chad Sexington]

Blue? The Apocalypse is blue? Dammit.

I read the headline and thought it was amusing, then I read the article and found it wasn't amusing at all:

Mayan end-of-world rumors prompt Michigan officials to close 33 schools

 

[Dei]

Well they aren't closing schools because they think the world is ending, they are closing schools because they are worried about crazy people doing crazy things.

 

[Allen who is Quiet]

dae it's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine?

 

[bhamv3]

Well they aren't closing schools because they think the world is ending, they are closing schools because they are worried about crazy people doing crazy things.

Yep, pretty much. Especially since it's so close to the Sandy Hook tragedy.

 

[Hailey Knight]

Everyone forgets that the calculations were off and the Mayan calendar's end is still 100 years from now.

Oh goodness, I hope something similar happens by 4:00PM today for me.

I also suspect a ton of white stuff falling from the skies may have impacted the decision.

 

[Emrys]

I'm still releasing the doomweasels tomorrow. Be prepared to feel their wrath!

Dammit, weasel, wake up! You can't sleep through the end of the world!

 

[Yoshimickster]

12 O Nine and feeling fine!

Their calendar is more accurate than the Atomic Clock.

They did account for leap years/days/seconds, but obviously differently than we do, and their calendar is based on a different system (partially solar, partially lunar). Revised calculations have put their "end of the world" in 2014, 2018, 2132 or something,.... *shrug*
When has that ever stopped anyone from making a nice littel media hype? 99->00 was also "the new millenium oh my god". 00->01 nobody cared. Silly media and their thought-up self-made hypes.

 

[Far]

Well they aren't closing schools because they think the world is ending, they are closing schools because they are worried about crazy people doing crazy things.

Which is what I'm infinitely more worried about personally.

 

[sixpackshaker]

I crawled out of my bunker for this?!

 

[North_Ranger]

I heard something about Peruvians saying that the apocalypse has been postponed to Sunday or something. Can anyone confirm?

 

[Chad Sexington]

The last four digits of my phone number are 2012 because of today. I am going to be so sad if some shit doesn't go down.

[BErt]

I guess I have to actually pay for all those Christmas gifts I put on my credit card now. Dammit.

Ninja'd by Galactus, woohoo!

 

[Chad Sexington]

Yay!
