well damn. on one hand thats an amzing find, but on the other i was really looking forward to seeing what happened on dec 12 2012. I guess in the long run its a good thing that the world isnt going to end, but man it would have been cool to see lol

People are still gonna be freaking out over 12/12

They even said they go in cycles which means it wouldnt be the end anyways it would of just reverted back to day 1 year 1 of the long count calender (first one). The possibility of it ending in 2012 even though unlikely could at end, also it doesnt mean everyone has to die its just could be a huge change like the cubs winning the world series

[Avahra]

Probably not a good idea Irish

Damn, maybe I shouldn't have taken out all of those loans. I was really banking on the end of the world happening this year.

[Dateranoth]

Luckily for you. Collection agencies will make you feel like the world is going to end.

I still get frustrated over the fact that it's the day before my birthday...366 days this year which means it's a 0.0027322 chance if they had to pick a random day >.>
