The END?

[andrewvid]

So I'm sure most of us know about the so called 'ending' of our earth on the 21st of december 2012...
and to me, most of me is saying that it's not true, but then there's that other part of me saying well it's not 100% impossible that's for sure...
if it is real then what a shame we miss out on christmas next year :xmas31:

So, what are your opinions?

[William]

:umm: Maybe I should put off my Xmas shopping till the 22nd :Doh:

It isn't the end, as in Armageddon. Even the Mayans said it was the end of an ERA, so one era ends, another begins. I think astronomically though the alignment of the planets is a very interesting phenomena, I bet all the physicists are looking forward to the event.

Oh and in case I am wrong....See Ya!

[mudman]

Since the event, if it happens, is beyond my control, why worry about it.
if it happens i reckon a lot of peoples' last word will be 'bugga'

well if it happens I will be very unhappy that I can`t use all my togging gear :(. Seriously folks.....make plans but live each day as if it`s your last. The poor ol earth is sure copping a battering from us polluters so one day it will have to come back at us. So don`t leave your camera or lenses in the bush when you leave after a shoot as they will take thousands of years to break down.....or a kangaroo or other wild animal might break their teeth on them.

But the world is round, a sphere. Where will it end?
(You 4-dimensionalists and flat-earthers keep out of this.)
:confused013m.

PS: 4-got 2 mention, same goes for you oblate spheroid apologists.

:umm: I haven't heard about this. What's it about. And do I prepare to die this year, or 2012?

For a start, leave me all your gear in a living will.

I was bushwalking in California when I first heard of this "Mayan end of the world" stuff. I guess California was an appropriate place to be given the proximity of Hollywood.

BUT, I'd spent the 3 weeks prior to that travelling from the Yucatan to Mexico City, including visiting Chichen Itza, Uxmal, Palenque, etc; all mayan sites, with a large mayan population around them still. The intricacies of their ancient calendar was explained frequently, but not one mention of this rot.

:umm: I haven't heard about this. What's it about. And do I prepare to die this year, or 2012?

well according to a mayan calendar, they end on the 21st of December 2012... and people believe that this will be the 'end' of the earth...

yes, it's sad to think that us humans are slowly destroying the only planet that we can live on comfortably...
lets hope things change in time.

[bdparker]

Well obviously the Mayans got it wrong because their society ended waaaay before then.

By the way, this is the 4th prediction this decade.... so wake me up when it really happens!

Oh and by calculations in the Book of Revelations from the Bible, there is still another 1000 years to go (but don't quote me on this one).

It's OK cause Chicken Little yelled out the the Sky was falling (http://www.rickwalton.com/funstuff/skyfall.htm), and we are still here.

Maybe we should all wait for 20.12.2012

cheers

[JudiN]

Don't worry be happy God is watching over all of you:xmas31:

[Bennymiata]

You mean to say that the movie 2012 is just bullsh!t?

What a bummer.
I was hoping it was real, and that I would borrow as much money as I could, with no repayments until early 2013, and REALLY enjoy myself!

Guess that new 1Dx and the complete Hasselblad kit with all the lenses will just have to wait now.....................................:angry0:

[andrewvid]

[98kellrs]

I'll make sure the camera is fully charged and memory card emptied, however the end comes, it will probably make for some awesome photographs!!! :violent10:

[andrewvid]

All you Nikon guys can send me all your gear and I'll look after it for you. I'm sitting under a pyramid so will be safe

[virgal_tracy]

I'm sitting under a pyramid so will be safe

Because that worked so well for the Pharoahs, Mayans and all other pyramid building civilizations.

[kiwi]

their civilisations still lasted 2000 years longer than ours :lol:

[Mark L]

kiwi's current user title suggests the AP world may have indeed ended.:confused013

[andrewvid]

well i guess staying to the lower end of the pyramid is safer then closer to the top :p
