Can I have their stuff when they go into the vault?

Also 2012 has the following numbers in it, 0, 1, and 2, and the total amount of different numbers used are 3, which follows on in the sequence.
Also note the first number 2, is the same as the last number and starting from the zero, doubling up the following numbers equal the next in line.
Yet another weird prediction, the first number predicts the last number.
And the first and last numbers added together equal the total amount of numbers the date.

Seriously what are the chances that the Malayan's could come up with something like this unplanned? They must have known something and that is why The Church sent the Conquistadors to stamp out this knowledge.

You must be referring to the Catholic church. Am I right?

They always sending out dudes to stamp out this and that! WTF is up with that?

The message the film is sending is utter crap, and so will the film be. The doomsday hypothesis comes from religious interpretations.

2012 is the change over from the age of pisces to the age of aquarius. Nobody really knows for sure what will happen. There are many theories.

I am still going to watch it!!!

Maybe 2012 is the year South Africa gets true broadband. Now there's a thought.

That's what's great about living in Switzerland, all the houses and apartment blocks already have fallout bunkers. I will however need to make a new tinfoil hat. My hat from Y2K has gotten a bit rusty. :eek:

2012, more specifically December that year, is the time that will be able to judge which of your friends are sane and which are the disposable nutcases.

Hope Eskom's ready...

Wired.com: Isn’t a great off-switch in the sky exactly what’s described in the report?

Joseph: The chair of the NASA workshop was Dan Baker at the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics. Some of his comments, and the comments he approved in the report, are very strong about the potential connection between coronal mass ejections and power grids here on Earth. There’s a direct relationship between how technologically sophisticated a society is and how badly it could be hurt. That’s the meta-message of the report.

I had the good fortune last week to meet with John Kappenman at MetaTech. He took me through a meticulous two-hour presentation about just how vulnerable the power grid is, and how it becomes more vulnerable as higher voltages are sent across it. He sees it as a big antenna for space weather outbursts.

Wired.com: Why is it so vulnerable?

Joseph: Ultra-high voltage transformers become more finicky as energy demands are greater. Around 50 percent already can’t handle the current they’re designed for. A little extra current coming in at odd times can slip them over the edge.

The ultra-high voltage transformers, the 500,000- and 700,000-kilovolt transformers, are particularly vulnerable. The United States uses more of these than anyone else. China is trying to implement some million-kilovolt transformers, but I’m not sure they’re online yet.

Kappenman also points out that when the transformers blow, they can’t be fixed in the field. They often can’t be fixed at all. Right now there’s a one- to three-year lag time between placing an order and getting a new one.

According to Kappenman, there’s an as-yet-untested plan for inserting ground resistors into the power grid. It makes the handling a little more complicated, but apparently isn’t anything the operators can’t handle. I’m not sure he’d say these could be in place by 2012, as it’s difficult to establish standards, and utilities are generally regulated on a state-by-state basis. You’d have quite a legal thicket. But it still might be possible to get some measure of protection in by the next solar climax. http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2009/04/2012storms/

CTV transmitted a presentation about the Mayan calendar by Ian Xel Lungold a number of times. It was the first time I came across someone talking about the calendar that sounded sensible and quite fascinating.
He doesn't so mucg talk about rhe end of thew world but about the acceleration of change according to a schedule depicted by the calendar, and the challenges each phase of this acceleration brings with it.

If you are interested, a number of DVd's are avilable from www.musictonourish.com (based in Cape Town)

Everybody's talking about it! Ok, not everyone, most people don't even know what the hell I'm talking about, but the year 2012 is being talked about.

Theres even a movie being released soon:

2012 is an upcoming disaster film directed by Roland Emmerich. The film has an ensemble cast, including John Cusack, Amanda Peet, Danny Glover, Thandie Newton, Oliver Platt, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Woody Harrelson. The film will be distributed by Columbia Pictures. Filming began in August 2008 in Vancouver; the films release date is expected to be November 13, 2009 worldwide.

A global cataclysm occurs which leads to the end of the world and has survivors struggling for their lives, while a US government agency called the "Institute for Human Continuity" attempts to use ships to ensure the survival of the human race.

The film is inspired by several hypotheses that state that the ancient Mayan predicted a doomsday event would occur sometime around the 2012 northern hemisphere winter solstice.

I remember all the ancient eqyptian and biblical prophecies that suddenly surfaced just before the turn of the century :D

End of the Mayan calender. lol. You should see how the Americans are panicking about it, bloody classic.

But theres earthquakes and tsunamis happening all around us man! Its freakin freaky!!!
Yep, but earthquakes and tsunamis have always been happening. Just with the whole global warming hype people are focusing more and more on it. (Blame Al Gore)

I think most ppl know now that the mayan calander was floored and the 2012 was mis-interpreted as the end of the world when in fact its the change of an epoc?

something along those lines... would be amusing if there were some ppl here who believed it..
