2012

[Chingon]

Hey guys, bad news.

We're screwed.  I have been doing some heavy research in a related area (sorry can't say what: it's classified) and the simulations don't look good for us.  I am probably breaking some rules by posting this, but I felt my ksu peeps deserved the truth.

 

So how long do we have?  Ballpark of course.

until 2012.

around mid may-ish.

will be relatively painless for those who perish during the first event.

can't believe cardwell finally got a legit computer lab (cw 142 or so)

I wouldn't worry at all about the Mayan calendar.  What has the Mayan calendar ever successfully predicted before it happened?  Nothing, just like Nostradomus.  On the other hand there are plenty of legitimate things to be worried about.

For example, the supervolcano below yellowstone is 30 million years past due for an explosion.  The last time it blew, Nebraska was buried in 10 feet of ash.

Or you could worry about the magnetic poles of the earth reversing, which is overdue by about 250 million years.  A temporary lapse in the magnetic fields of the earth could very well allow in all the cosmic radiation that is currently being blocked by said magnetic field, and fry everyone.

Or you might choose to worry about an asteroid.  Think the government is actively searching for asteroids similar to the kind that have caused mass extinctions in the past?  They aren't, which is probably a wise way to save money, since we don't currently have the technology to do anything about it anyway.  An asteroid could hit at literaly any time, and we wouldn't have more than a few seconds warning between the time it hit the atmosphere and hit the earth.

If you want to think on a smaller scale, Iran (national motto: death to America) will soon have nuclear weapons.  North Korea already has nuclear weapons and rockets capable of carrying these weapons as far as Seattle.  Then there are Pakistan and India, two nuclear powers who have been on the verge of war several times within the last year.

But scared of some vague prophecies from a now defunct civilization interpretted by people with no understanding of the civilization or how the calendar actually worked?  You have absolutely nothing to worry about there.  Hope this makes you feel better.

I think your timetables are off, yellowstone and the switching poles are about 500,000 from their last happening, which is within the range of time between, so they are due.   That's if memory serves me correctly.

As for the Mayan calendar, I've also been told by someone very into his telescope that that date in 2012 is also the day that the earth and sun align perfectly with the center of the universe.   It's going down bro's, might as well admit it.

This is technically true.

So, like, he just farms all day and then, when the sun goes down, looks through his telescope at the moon or whatever (unless there's a ku game on?)?

I think "look through the telescope" must be code word for "drink some squash wine and bugger cattle".

Nah, don't know how often he drags his out but the damn thing is over 5' tall and a foot wide, can see some pretty cool stuff with it.  He said the moon is often too bright to even look at with it.

Squash wine?  Have to try that, already tried the cattle thing, meh, its okay in a pinch.

   I bet he can see all the way to china with that thing.

The Mayans were tracking the precession of the equinoxes, a period corresponding to the total amount of time Mayans could measure with four of their 13 baktun calendars.  Nothing to see here, move along.

But don't forget about Nostradamus, Planet X, and the solar radiation that will pummel Earth during that time.  Add that to Obama likely being the antichrist (one of the signs is nearly unmitigated support and everyone denying that it could be true) and it's clear that the end times will be soon!  Once Obama creates peace in the middle east and offers to rebuild the Temple of Solomon, everyone should be sure!

wait, isn't this the first time all the whakos have been saying it WAS true?  I'm confused now.

I'm confused now. 

How is that different than any other time?

AzCat should probably shoot him in the head to see if he lives, of course it's also as likely he is already on this.

Something like this will happen, but not until halfway through the Tribulation.  We aren't in the Tribulation yet.

Does the Tribulation start when the Dow hit 5,000 or 2,500?  And does the Tribulation have anything to do with Tribbles?

When was the last time any of you saw a Mayan anyway? The only people that ever see them are wheat farmers somewhere in New Mexico, right?

When I was a kid, the doomsday year was 1981.  You see, Jesus said that the generation that “witnessed the budding of the fig tree” would be the generation to see the Lord’s return.  The budding of the fig tree was the birth of the nation Israel, which happened in 1948.  According to the Bible, a generation of judgment is 40 years, but within that time, Jesus will come back and call up his church, leaving the rest of mankind in Tribulation for another seven years.  So, 1948 plus 40 equals 1988.  But subtract the seven-year Tribulation, and what do you have?  1981.

A few seconds?!!  That's not nearly enough time to find a skank and get one last fling in

If you want to think on a smaller scale, Iran (national motto: death to America) will soon have nuclear weapons.  North Korea already has nuclear weapons and rockets capable of carrying these weapons as far as Seattle.  Then there are Pakistan and India, two nuclear powers who have been on the verge of war several times within the last year. 
As long as it's just Seattle.  Or for that matter, the whole west coast.  Again, bad thing?

But scared of some vague prophecies from a now defunct civilization interpretted by people with no understanding of the civilization or how the calendar actually worked?  You have absolutely nothing to worry about there.  Hope this makes you feel better.
