Does Doomsday Have a Timezone
 
CET here; would hate to miss the end of the world, but if by some chance it doesn't end, I'll still have to be up at 0500. If it's really a Mayan thing though, then it might end at more like at 0100 CST, and I'll be fine, can still get to bed, get up. work out, then catch the end on the morning news. I'm pretty sure it's not on the International Timezone, or we'd all be toast (or at least sub-atomic particles) by now. I'm sure the brain trust has an answer...but then, I'll have to read about it tomorrow.

Yes.

Countdown to Dec 21, 2012 11:11:11 AM in UTC

I am still making plans for tomorrow afternoon.

Bill Douglas 12-20-2012 11:50 AM

I'm first.



Happy end of the world day everyone.



And Merry Christmas too for next week.

This is even better than I thought....I can even squeeze in morning meeting (although, why bother), catch lunch, and still have time to catch the end. You know, my office has an unobstructed view over the local landscape.....maybe I'll order in!

Umm, I'm happy either way. I'm renovating a bathroom, so I'd quite like to see the finished product.

I don't think of it as doomsday, I think the aliens are just coming back that day to up-date the calender they left the Mayans with, they will be pissed when they see how corrupted the world turned out after they left. Then maybe doomsday.

fred cook 12-20-2012 03:33 PM

If December 21st is doomsday................
 
I am going to laugh my a$$ off over all the work the libs put into getting BO re-elected and knowing that I finally had a year when I did not have to pay extra federal income taxes! Almost makes it worthwhile!

ckelly78z 12-20-2012 03:36 PM

I think i'll have a beer with Supper tonight in a big frosted mug rather than a glass of milk as my celebration of life kicks into high gear !

I told my wife if the world ends, I hope i'm not one of the survivors, let me be one of the first to die.

dan88911 12-20-2012 03:46 PM

Oh yeah, I got to get right with them Mayan gods.
Before the sunsets.

enzoducoing 12-20-2012 04:54 PM

Yes
 
Mayan eastern time.

Tervuren 12-20-2012 05:21 PM

Mayan's have dates for future events written down past 12-21-12, so I don't think they expected it to end on 12-21-12.

BeyGon 12-20-2012 05:50 PM

I forgot to announce my end of the world sale of wood and stone sculpture, pay pal me now.

genrex 12-20-2012 05:58 PM

When our Sun goes supernova and its surface expands out past the Earth's orbit, that would be the end of any last-minute sales, right?

JFairman 12-20-2012 06:20 PM

In the fall of 1991... 21 years ago, I drove from Palm Beach, Florida to the rain forests of Chiapas, Mexico around 40 miles from the border of Guatamala along the Usumacinta river to assist a French cinema photographer filming a documentary on the Lacandon Mayan Indians.
They are the last of the Mayan Indians that still practice their ancient rituals and hunt for food.
They were having a big ceremony for the renewel of their gods. They put the old ones to rest and new ones were born. This happens for them every 21 years.

I lived with them for 3 weeks in really low to the ground grass roofed huts and slept in a jungle hammock with rain fly and mosquioto netting tied between two trees at night to stay off the ground and all the fun stuff crawling around at night.. As we waited for them to begin the main ceremony that had no actual time.. it was up to thier King and when he felt the time was right.

It was an experience.

They have long hair and dress in off white tunics... barefoot all the time.
google them if you want to see them

I wasn't too impressed with them in some ways but most of them seemed pretty cool and very intelligent even though I couldnt talk to them.
I don't think there is much connection with them and the old Mayans but spiritually I don't know and for some reason I just felt like writing this...

I don't know.. I hope tomorrow is just another day.
and..
I sure enjoyed driving my 911 turbo today.

flatbutt 12-20-2012 06:32 PM

wait...they predicted it to the minute? huh...that's pretty good. I wonder if the media will make as big deal of this when as when one of those fringe church people do it.

Laneco 12-20-2012 07:22 PM

I've got tomorrow all planned out.

If I'm not dead when I wake up, I'm going mountain biking. Should be plenty of snow to ride in!

Don't be silly. Our sun isn't big enough to super nova. It will go red giant and expand to past our orbit, in about 4 billion years...

Yeah, I remember when Elizabeth Clair Prophet was predicting the end of the world, had all the underground living quarters built up next to Yellow Stone, all the crazies didn't pay their bills, laughed as they got traffic tickets, they were going to be the only ones left after that day. Didn't happen then won't happen this time. but if it does, forget I said this.

I took out 3 coming up my driveway tonight! One looked like the UPS guy, so weird.

Erakad 12-20-2012 09:35 PM

REM, good choice. 4 1/2 hrs to go, can't forget to take the shot glasses, as I toast the end from my glass enclosed command center.

GH85Carrera 12-21-2012 05:05 AM

Just like the big Y2K computer problem, big nothing.

red-beard 12-21-2012 05:12 AM

Oh crap, I guess I have to go to work...

red-beard 12-21-2012 05:17 AM

And start buying Christmas presents...

Rtrorkt 12-21-2012 06:23 AM

Leap year was added after the Myans made their calendar. The extra days added by leap years put the end of the world about 7 months ago. Just sayin'...

Still, I'm waiting to pay my bills till next week.

I woke up alive (YEAH!!! ALIVE!!!) and after a wonderful cup of coffee, headed out to the lake for a ride. Just one other rider out there today. He was also taking a "End of the world ride."

Beautiful and peaceful.
