World ending in 2012?
It might be closer to the true than you think.

Ha, ha, ha... NO.

Nope.
Now if you could find me somebody who'd be expected to know say, I dunno, a scientist. Then you might be able to convince me.
As for this "THE MAYAN CALENDER ENDS HERE WE ALL GONNA DIEEEEEEEE" bullshit. No. Not at all.

Depends upon what he means. I doubt we're speaking on the same terms as the usual kooks here.
I'll hide your name inside a word and paint your eyes with false perception.

Personally, I can't wait for December 18, 2012, just so I can be all 'Dawn of the first day: 72 hours remain.'

Doesn't the calendar ending actually refer to the end of an age rather than the end of the world? If something does happen it probably won't destroy the world but it will drastically alter the history of our planet.

I have seen the amateur, and it is me.
Allow me to join in on the applause for Haldo. (Also allow me to take this moment to note that I was watching Jesu Otaku's livestream of said game a few minutes before you made that joke...)
Also also, I believe 100% that we'll all be here on December 22, 2012, just like we made it through May 21, 2011 (the last time an incident where some crackpot
's doomsday prediction made national headlines).

I hope you get tiny bits of eggshell in all your omelettes for the rest of your life!

I like the sound of that.
I'm a (socialist) professional writer serializing a WWII alternate history webnovel.
This is similar to the 6/6/06 situation we had five years ago. But at least that one fell apart if you thought about it longer than five seconds.
Every century before also had 6/6/06, which means it happened countless (and about ~15 times during Christianity's reign, ie when anybody actually cared about that number) times before with no apparent apocalypse
This is one of those situations where it's strange to feel smug. I mean, should you feel really so proud to be able to think clearly? Kinda lowering the bar a bit, aren't we?
Just awesome like that
I don't even think I'd heard of that one until like a month after it supposedly happened.
Insert witty and clever quip here. My page, as the database hates my handle.

Hey, guys, did you hear about this calendar that the Mayans made?
(Okay last one. Of whatever I was doing.)

You just know some future archaeologist is going to dig up a modern calendar and be all "Ha! Dumb primitives thinking the world would end on December 31st 2011!"
Y'know, assuming we somehow lose written history and that calendar is somehow perfectly preserved.

Funny how we think the same thing about other people who thought the same thing in the past, and yet people still do the exact same thing...

The world's gonna end in 2012? Damnit, I wanted to see the Uncharted movie.

It's not gonna happen. The world needs to find something else to obsess over.
....besides, they went to 2015 in Back to the Future, so that's got to mean something, right?

Everybody here who's dumb enough to believe this, raise your hand.
Everybody here who's dumb enough to feel vaguely worried anyway, raise your hand. *Raises hand* Basic headology, people. Subconscious wossname. 'S like a hive mind kinda thing. People're dumb, and so are we.
Ponders too much; thinks too little. Currently goes by Knowlessman.
Out of mild curiosity, how many times was the world supposed to end in the last fifteen years or so?
I don't believe the world is going to be here on 12/22/2012. I know it will. It's not a matter of maybes or ifs. It will still be here, spinning merrily away as it has for billions of years. End of discussion.
And if I claim to be a wise man, well, it surely means that I don't know.

No you don't. Basic philosophy. We thought we knew the Earth was flat, we thought we knew the atom was the single smallest thing in the universe, and we thought we knew everything we've ever made a surprising discovery about between, before, and since those times. Besides, ask the right dude in a lab coat, and he'll give you half a dozen (scientific!) ways our collective asses could be just plain gone before your next meal.
I'm glasses.
The difference is we found evidence for those things. Crackpot theories are not evidence.
Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember them, you are not alone.
Just awesome like that
and : If it does end, it'd be from idiotic people rioting in the street and causing as much trouble as possible for a "last hurrah."
Speaking of rioting, how about Penn State last night?
Hmm, so you can combine this with the alien astronaut theory.
Not going to happen. I'll tell you what will, though; a bunch of cult suicides. Unfortunate, but that sort of thing always happens on widely-predicted end-of-ze-world dates.
go ahead and do every stupid thing you can imagine
