I DECLARE 12/12/12...

Yep. Theres also other things too. St. Malachy predicted x amount of popes and the next one peter the roman is supposed to be the last ( at least before rome is destroyed) but note he was irish and probably drunk. Then theres apophis the asteroid. Then theres the... And the... And the...

I would venture a guess that end-of-the-world predictions will continue long after the world actually ends.

[Nephew Twiddleton]

Also end of the world is a vague phrase. Do we mean the end of civilization human extinction the extinction of all life on earth or the destruction of the earth. Those are all separate things and human extinction can be a positive thing if it is due to evolving into something better.

[AFK]

I would wager most humans have a rather anthropocentric view and think of the end of humanity as the end of the world.  Of course, many of those humans believe that will happen when the magic bearded sky-fairy returns to the earth and starts ripping shit up.

And im glad they do. The bible has if anything given us some awesome heavy metal songs (as long as the band doesnt happen to be particularly christian)

TLALOC IS ANGRY

I'd be seething if I was so obviously missing a vowel near the start of my name

Well, he did demand child sacrifices, so it's also possible he was, in a past life, a teacher.  Teachers are always angry.

I always figured child sacrifice was the ultimate god status symbol. Like you have this new god turning up at the country club and he's all swagger and "I got mine burning things in effigy and chanting my name" and one of the old fat fucks turns round and blows cigar smoke in his face and says "Hey kid - babies on spikes or GTFO"

My wife said to me, "This is the only time in our lives when the date is 12/12/12.  It's unique."

I replied, "So was yesterday.  It will never again in our lives be 12/11/12."

Then she punched me.

The date is unique EVERY DAY.

ALL OF THEM.
