According to the Mayans, the world will end in just 25 days. I have that much time to save it. If you're still here on December 22, you'll know I was successful. In appreciation for saving the world, I will accept property, exotic cars and money as a form of payment. Other gifts may be considered. Now, I have job to do.

Or, a person could just blow off any holiday gift purchases and purchase/fly a ton of rocket propellant instead.
 
I don't know about you, but Im going job hunting around the 21st. seems like Ill be able to find another job, right?
 
Actually there are calendars all over the site where the one in question was found that continue on for thousands of years past 2012. Given that the Mayans didn't even survive to see this calendar end I don't put much faith in their predictive abilities.
 
I remember being a little kid and trying to count as high as it was humanly possible... I think I gave up at about 200.

I don't know if my current calendar is any better than the Mayans' as the one I bought from Sheri with all the rockets in it only goes to December 31, 2013!

while I loved Don's post... I think it appropriate styled humor!

I tell everyone mans invention of time is falacious... some of the implementation "the myans"- who used multiple calandars... probably had very little to do with orbital mechanics.

Time, per a swiss watch with quartz chrystals would be irrelevant to season or orbital degradation. if you wanted a line through time, that means the same now, as it will in 200million years....

Even as it stands today, we will need to move leap year to every 3 years for every fourth leap year in about 20,000 years... (now go check my math...) Additionaly, if we dont, june will be dead winter in 150,255 years.)

My friends and I have a theory or two. The calendar may not represent the end of time at all. Who said it did? It may actually be the date the aliens bring the Myans back home or the aliens will just come back. Then there's the possibility that The Myans just ran out of space on their tablet.

Personally I don't and won't buy into the "fear factor" involved with this as there have been multiple predictions over the years that bellied up. We are NOT supposed to know when the end of time is coming and I'm reasonably certain the Myans didn't either.

December 22 will come and you'll be hearing, "Well apparently we were wrong and the date meant something else or nothing at all. Or the Myans were wrong and we took them seriously.

ROFLOL. I think it's time to up your meds...............
Poor Black Brandt, he'll be so excited with his gift. He just starts the basement floor melting, and then the Feds show up. Feds: " Uh, hello Mrs Black Brandt's mom. Do you know what your son is doing down in the basement?"
Mrs Black Brant mom: "Well, he just took a new magazine down there, and wanted to be alone. Does this have anything to do with that very large shipment from that strange Seagull looking fellow?"

THAT'S what I love about TRF- nothing but support. Support like really tight underwear in an Jumping Jacks competition, support like a wetsuit that makes your toes turn blue-before you get in the water, support like a turtle-neck sweater that makes your eyes bug out...but support nonetheless....

I called my Lottery representative in Nabibbia and had him change the name on the check out of sheer appreciation for what you've done. You should be getting a confirmation number shortly. E-mail title will be 'Spam and Eggs'. It's the national 'go to' dinner for important occasions like this.
