What do you guys think about Mayan Calendar confirming the
so-called "end date"

mayan calendar doesn't paint it as the end of the world,
just the end of an era. it's pretty much their version of
Y2K (which, as you'll remember, was almost disappointingly
uneventful. i remember waiting for the power to go out, and
it didn't).

i find my own reaction to these things more interesting than
the events themselves. is my life boring? is that why i want
some dramatic, flashy, system crash? i've often dreamed
about how i'd survive if the world went fallout 3. i have a
knack for building things; i'd definitely booby-trap the
house. safety wouldn't be a concern... but i'm not sure how
i'd live without dominos pizza

The Y2K thing didn't happen because people were made aware
of it in plenty of time. Some relativly minor things went
wrong because of it. But we were ready!

As long as the few thousand people who are convinced of the
impending doom remain in a state of frightened inaction,
nothing major related to the date will happen. If they start
to live like the end of the world is coming up however, that
might have some knock-on effects

It is interesting that there is very little evidence of the

Now I'm thinking about it and all my electrons are going to
align at my lowest chakra and shoot a sine wave in the shape
of Ken Barlow's neck out of my urethra and flow out into the
wider net of everybody elses energy and make them think
about it and they're all going convene at one point to
generate a 3000ft hologram of Ken Barlow who will then have
to give us all a lecture at 20Hz on what we've been doing
wrong all this time and why he has to peel us all
individually one skin cell at a time until we're subdivided
enough to reconnect with Gaia and set the Earth on a
straighter course towards a healthier star

well dudes, people have been on this planet for a long ass
time. they've seen some shit come, and they've seen some
shit go. they figured out how to navigate by star charts.
that had to take a while. the mayans were the probably the
oldest most advanced civilization in history. they figured
out all kinds a math shit. and how the fucking galaxy it
self cycles. that's pretty cray cray for what eventually
became a dead culture. the universe works on pretty simple
fundamentals. +/-, push/pull, light/dark, the yin and yang.
the bible, and other religious text were probably created
just to explain that, in life, you have two choices of what
you can do, good/bad. i'm sure, in the time humanity has
spent advancing towards the modern era, many a mistake were
made, and those texts were just their way of trying to pass
on lessons learned. of course there are probably things that
have happened to mankind in their journey on this giant
floating rock, that back in the day could not be explained
without the scientific knowledge we have now. so we get all
those cracked out stories of angels, dragons, giants, gods,
and shit like that.

what's going on today, er... rather, what is coming up in
the next few months/years, is going to be nothing we have
heard/seen in recorded history. the half cycle of the mayan
count in their calendar is 13,000 years. we can only trace
our begining back relatively accurately, about 5,000 years.
there have been discoveries of organized societies recently,
that we have been able to date back at over 10,000 years
old. unfortunately, scientists/researcher/archaeologists
have not had enough to time to fully understand the truths
these places have hidden within them.

what i'm saying is, and what i'm sure, if you've done any
digging yourself on the subject, is that there have been
earth changing events that have disrupted and seriously
crippled man's growth on this planet, every time this
galactic alignment occurs. now, that's not to say that these
same life altering events haven't had a

... beneficial effect on the human race,
evolution/darwinism/survival of the fittest, passing on
stronger genes. but also, that bombardment of photons that
spew out like a jacuzzi jet stream from the black hole at
the center of the milky way, alter the code in our double
helix of dna.

so, with as big and complex as the powers that be, that have
controlled the direction of civilized nations, has become, i
feel it would be pretty safe to bet that there is hidden
knowledge kept within those limited circles. i think they
are fairly certain that there is definitely something
big/bad to be feared on the way. and i think they know they
will have no control over the forces that will emerge from
this big question mark. they have plans. we do not. they
might not escape. we might not suffer. but i do believe it
is quite eerie, the shit that is going on in the world, more
specifically, in nature. and what i believe is
coming/happening is going to be purely scientific, along the
lines of the earth sciences.

like i mentioned earlier, because our knowledge of our past
is so limited, we haven't recorded anything like this
before. what is taking people over right now is the NORMALCY
BIAS. just because we haven't evidence of a major deal like
dec 21 2012 occuring in less than a 13,000 year period, when
our best research only goes back 5,000 years, you don't
think it's possible for anything to go wrong on a world wide
scale like science is perdicting. what with the solar flares
and earthquakes and strange sounds, and suicidal flocks of
wild animals. it's too much of a coincidence that these
things were prophesied, not just in revelation, but
throughout the bible. that book, regardless of the fanatical
followers, was just an update on esoteric lessons passed
down, from many previous tribe/sect. and just like any
technology, those with money, power, and influence, have
tainted the words within to dis-inform and control whoever
followed behind.

if you step back and take a holistic look at your life on
this planet, it

... scary how tiny, small, and insignificant we all are.
what happens will happen. all you can do is just live in the
moment and enjoy all that is around you. we all die, nobody
knows when or where or how. if life goes on as we know it,
the only thing you have to be afraid of is your govt.

that is all.

it seems to me that most, if not all of you are pretty
indifferent to the idea of this date bringing anything more
than a new dawn. but as i have before, when i get wrapped up
in deep emotional thoughts/feelings, i tend to gush on here.
so i will say again, i love all you fools! if anything for
any reason were to happen that we could never visit/access
this message board again, i will miss you all terribly, and
think about you all, probably when and if things take a hard
left for the worst and we all have to deal with scary
decisions. i hope you all make it safely about in your
travels. and i hope someday we will be able to meet again,
wherever our roads may cross, this plane or the next. til
then...

it.

anyways, it's kinda like how i felt about ren n stimpy when
i was a kid. like, wtf is this fucking show even about? just
an excuse for john kriflskakowski [sp?] to get high and

possibly top the insanity from the last episode. and boy,

Yes, Tim and Eric are confused and sad men who like toilet
humour. But some of the critique elements and the fucked-up
elements of their stuff really makes me laugh hard. That and
I have a very soft spot on the left of my skull for bad/low
quality editing and filmography. And obtusely spelt names
(Paul Willow = Pall Willeaux).

Now, EVOL, unless you have come across a specific type of
natural phenomenon for which there is some sort of evidence
for its occurence at the end of this year, everything in
your posts above is nothing other than mysticism.

You actually said, in summary, that there are powers that be
who have some arcane knowledge that was probably gathered by
some older, more advanced civilisations who probably existed
more than 10,000 years ago. The knowledge relates to some
natural event, that is probably going to take place in
December of this calendar year, that these ancients cleverly
knew how to predict. Sadly it still managed to destroy all
evidence their advanced civilisations... Agh I've actually
run out of steam before I've even started as you're clearly
in a stance you want to be in, and no talking or
logic will come close to changing that. Just be aware that
you're a member of a new religion

Anyone who really thinks the world's end will
accurately be predicted by anything other than science*, is
smoking crack. Doomsday predictions with a specific date
always end up looking stupid; they never come true on the
nominated date. That's why the most successful long-running
ones talk in vagaries that are open to interpretation (eg
Book of Revelation).

*...and I do mean a proper industry-majority of respectable,
traditional scientists, not 2 hippies with PhDs in "Gaia
Studies" calling themselves "Doctors" and claiming to be an
authority of some kind or privvy to esoteric knowledge).

I was lucky enough to catch a pint with Tim and Eric and one
of their interns after their show here last year. In terms
of meeting fans, Tim's a guarded squirrel and Eric's their
PR manager, but after some chatting, and what I was guess
was them realising I didn't want to disgorge their own
humour back at them and make funniez like a lot of their
loser fans, they opened up a little more. They're both
pretty normal, lazy dudes who eat a lot of shite food and go
to festivals etc. Tim's head is comfortably within the top
15 largest human heads I've ever seen
