NASA: THE TRUTH about the END OF THE WORLD on 21 Dec
Five NASA scientists took time out yesterday to assure the public that the world will not end on 21 December. The astroboffins dismissed claims that a rogue planet called Nibiru will smash into Earth in three weeks, killing us all. The planetary smash-up just before Christmas 2012 was allegedly predicted by the Mayans. A wave …

I am sure we will find me couper la gorge dibbler selling his saucisses dans un petit pain there could be stiff competition..
(yes I cheated like I speak French hah!)

Just think yourself lucky that she hasn't heard about the UFO landing ground in Barbados.
@Swedish Chef
"...for UFOs to land or something. Girlfriend has suggested that if that place exists, we go there on the 21st to watch the doomsdayers gather. This could be entertaining!"
Your gf is right. However, you can forget about gathering there because the local mayor is apparently not a doomsday thinker either and has already ordered that the village is to be closed during those days; surrounded by a cordon of police to keep all the rif raf out.
So I doubt it'll be worth the effort to go and look.
Re: Apparently there's a 'safe place' somewhere in France...
aliens would never land until propulsion has been made and can travel around and they would pull up, and have 12 hours of silence
Re: Apparently there's a 'safe place' somewhere in France...
The local Mayor has been quoted as saying they have had a few more than usual enquiries about places to stay in the local area from people who might be doomsdayers, but he's expecting far more news teams than actual participants.
It's gonna be 1980's Top Of The Pops all over again with frantic producers herding small groups of "victims" around in front of the cameras to make the crowd seem bigger than it really is.
Re: @Swedish Chef
Well worth a look at the loonies thinking the froggies are keeping the landing zone all to themselves. Feel sorry for the gendarmes mind....
Re: Apparently there's a 'safe place' somewhere in France...
So, on December 22nd, the world is going to be populated almost entirely by broadcasters?
I think I'm glad I won't survive.

But without Jimmy Saville herding any of them into his dressing room.

"You could sell bière and saucisses and fromage to good profit.
Then the government comes and taxes you."
But happily the next day there won't be any government left to tax you....oh, just a minute!
I have heard this bullshit was put out by Emmerich...
...in order to manufacture some interest into yet another of his dreary CGI extravaganza. Guys looked through "predictions" in order to find something to glom onto, then made the movie.
Not sure whether true.
"4 weeks of chaos as mankind descends into hell, rioters taking to the streets, wide spread looting, law and order breaking down, mob rule taking over as no one bothers to go to work and many people dying horribly?"
Sounds like it could be the Police are on strike, the Electricity has went off or Chickens are extinct.
Damn
Thought I could get out of the Christmas shopping nightmare this year (and every year after) but no such luck :(
Re: Damn
Thought I could get out of the Christmas nightmare this year (and every year after) definitely shit out of luck.
Well I know of something that won't go down well.
DateTime fileDate = DateTime.Now;
Assert.IsTrue(fileDate.CompareTo(new DateTime(2012, 12, 21)) <= 0 && fileDate.CompareTo(DateTime.MinValue) > 0);
I've been using the upper limit of DateTime unit tests as 2012-12-21 for years now. Guess I will have to pick a new doomsday date..
shortDateTime 2079-06-06
Although that seems a little far off, how about the time of Roys death?
Thursday at 3pm ?
It's beero'clock.
Re: Well I know of something that won't go down well.
if you try to instantiate a DateTime object later than 2012-12-23 you'll get an EarthNotFound exception
Nibiru
We have a ndecommissioning project kicking off in December, looks like you've just supplied the prefect project name!
I thought the world ended in May, no wait October! oh who knows anymore!!!
Dara O'Briain does a lovely parody on the 2012 film:

At least if they're wrong they don't have to worry about going the way of those Italian seismologists.
Of course NASA say that, but we all know the truth. Now where did I put my tin foil hat?
That bloke in the Lynx advert has the right idea....
Just tell women that it's going to be the end of the world in 3 weeks time and that you're scared...that should ensure you're up to your ass in sympathy sex until just before Xmas.
"There's nothing we know of physically that would allow the Sun to switch off for three days and then switch back on."
Has our schooling system failed so utterly that people actually believe the sun is like a bloody bedside lamp?
Sometimes i despair for humanity, i really do.....
And when Jan 1st rolls around and nothing happens, You can bet your last pound that some numpty will `reinterpret` the scriptures or `recalculate` the dates and set another doomsday in a few years time, and the same idiots will start fretting all over again.
Lets see:
Despite being discredited (and i think de-registered) many people (esp. Americans) believe the dodgy DR that wrote the MMR vaccine=autism was right. After all jenny mccarthy agrees!
Many people still believe the man in the white house is a muslim
Most people would trade their passwords for a chocolate bar
<insert pop/music latest moneyspinner> exists (i don't believe in giving them free publicity which they crave and adding to the posts of "x sucks" seriously posting about how canadian teen singers suck on every thread in every type of website?)
People think the world will end in 2012 due to an ancient civilisation yet fail to want to believe said civilisations other "sciences" were right
Cancer patients being told (and beliving) that coffeee enema's will cure them
The whole "They will never cure X there is too much money to be made" and "doctors are evil they only want your money now buy my herbs" despite the fact that most western nations have some form of socialised healthcare and would do anything to cut the bill down and i doubt most people going in to medical research care about the profits of the execs.
Need i go on?
"Has our schooling system failed so utterly that people actually believe the sun is like a bloody bedside lamp?"
Please drop the superiority complex, we all went to school and none of us are claiming the Sun works like a bedside lamp. We know it's a ball of gas on fire. We are just saying that if a particularly big gust of space wind comes along it might just blow it out for a few days. Remember It was quite windy the other day, but where has that wind gone now? could it have swooped upwards instead of sideways and now be heading towards the Sun carried by gravity as we speak?
It may be that piece of wind has been circling the Earth ever since the Mayans first saw it. They might be wiser than we think with all their calendars.
Judging by the downvotes, I think your "space wind" is not the only thing whooshing high over peoples' heads around here.
"There's nothing we know of physically that would allow the Sun to switch off for three days and then switch back on."
What's stopping someone from pulling the plug on the Sun's printing presses, and hide the power cord for three days? Or even throw a spanner in the works at a point where the expected damage will take three days to repair?
At times like this I point to the wise words of Brian Cox: http://youtu.be/vw9K0tI9mxc
VOGONS!!!
I looked and there's no planetoid out there. Instead there's a nasty-looking yellow spaceship parked at the L5 point.. Better grab yer towels, mates!
Re: VOGONS!!!
"Better grab yer towels, mates!"
Err.. Towels? It's not that exciting :-s
Only three weeks left
Much hard work to do.
If you are alive the 22 you know who to tank.
:-)
Leap years?
I read somewhere that the Mayans didn't use leap years, only 365 day years, so their 21st Dec 2012 has been and gone.
Personally I'm not buying my Christmas presents until Christmas eve, just in case.
Re: Leap years?
Heh, I do that every year. (Not 'just in case' mind you. I just generally get my December paycheck sometime between the 20th and the 23rd. Not a good time to be Christmas shopping. You'd think I'd learn.)
Re: Leap years?
Mayan's used a calendar of 360 days. Somewhere around 800BC the calendar changed to 365 days (check all cultures, this happened across the world) and the Mayan's didn't know what to do with the extra 5 days so declared them a public holiday!
Sorry, but...
...the world has already ended. It did so on November 6th.
Then again, the Mayan calendar just needs another digit. Kinda like a Y1K problem when we went from three digit years to four digit years. We will get over it, simply because Christmas is a joyful holiday, which is close enough to the winter solstice (the reason for the holiday) for the church's purpose (why let a holiday go to waste!).
no, we already knew the world wasn't going to end in 2012, otherwise we'd have to accept that john titor was just an elaborate hoax.
What if this mystery planet is completely black? How would you see it coming, 1 x Ticket to the saftey cave please.
Honestly, if a planet the size of Niburu hit the earth a cave wouldn't keep you safe.
As for Nibiru - the legendary planet which the Mayans believed had a "3,600-year-long orbit of the Sun"...
The Mayans believed no such thing. Nibiru is a fantasy concocted in the mid 20th century. If you could go back and ask the Mayans about it you'd get nothing but puzzled expressions. Likewise they did not believe the world would end on December 21 2012, or 14.0.0.0.0, or whatever name they assigned to that day. It's simply when their long count calendar starts over.
That's right. Starts over. Just like ours does every year. All this rubbish about the Mayans thinking the world is going to end is nothing more than modern fiction. Ask any competent archeologist and they'll tell you that the Mayans, were they still around, would be busy planning the biggest quasi-new years party in history.
I've lost count..
... of how many end of the worlds I've lived through. I supsect this one will be no different.
LIES!
Like I'd trust NASA. Everyone knows they're behind chemtrails, HAARP, the FEMA concentration camps, George W. Bush's hurricane machine, geoengineering, ESD, autism-causing vaccines, and all manner of other perfidy! There's no question in my mind that if they're denying it, it must be true! Time to bend over and kiss your asses bye-bye, suckers!
