It's a shame. As far as science goes the US is now most famous for supporting creationism and denying climate change.

Let me make sure I understand this correctly ... we have four years before the world ends, right? I was originally under the impression that it was going to end tomorrow. That would put a lot of pressure on me. But heck, if we've got four years, I'm going to continue procrastinating my speaker project.

Well that just stinks. I guess I'll have to watch it from FL510.

But I'll be sure to come down and post some pictures for y'all.

Did they really say the world would end in 2012 or is it merely their calendar that ends in 2012?

It's sort of an anomaly that three ancient calendars end in 2012. Spooky

All of them Mayan? I think people tend to read into this too much. What were the Mayans supposed to do, make a calender to infinity? Besides, they couldn't even predict their own demise.

Either that or they were incredibly perceptive as regards this quasar that's going to destroy the earth.
