Hehehe, yeah.. Well I went to one of his lectures, and some of it was interesting, but it kinda spaced out in the end when he was holding a blow up plastic ball painted like earth on top of his head, explaining the relations between human brain and the earth!

Never the less, its some interesting "evidence" regarding the history of evolution in relation to the calendar. But it requires to read a lot to get into it.

the only thing that will end in 2012 is the incessant barrage of stupid prophecies

[hoffman2k]

What is with you people and ending calendars?
Y2K12?

First of all its October 28, 2011!
Second, nothing will happen, other then the usual evolution proses. Though its fun to speculate.

I want to know when and how "Science found the tree of life in 2003."

i spent plenty of time whilst growing up thinking that the world was going to end at various times by reading about prophecies and theories and getting my fortune told and all that stuff and it fair did my head in. really badly sometimes

nothing happened, im still sat here

over the last few years i have arrived at the conclusion that its all a load of spunky old toss

thats how i intend to view prophecies and suchlike from now on instead of worrying about stuff that isnt going to happen

[Angstrom]

what usually happens with these end of world things is they migrate in stages

5 years till doomsday : we are all certainly going to die or elevate to the starcity, 'proof' has been found but suppressed by evil thick-headed scientists. The 'ancient ones' knew. Everyone that believes in this is 'special', everyone that does not is 'stupid'.

1 year till doomsday : Crystala Angelis has a vision of world peace and a message from the galactic overlords, they say "Purple People, you are the chosen ones - just like you always believed.. Keep smoking the colly and see you on doomsday for some righteous elavatin', aight! "

6 months till doomsday : of course, says Astrala Interpretington 'end of the world' or 'elevate to starcity' it can also mean an evolutionary step that will only become visible over the following year, or more. To the golden ones, of course.

1 Month Till Doomsday : 'new research' by Cosmonia Deluded has proven that the crystal spheres actually align especially slowly, due to our warfaring nature and our nastiness to plants. Therefore the end of the world may be slightly delayed

1 Month after Doomsday imperial astral warrior Dave Smokesalot defends his idiocy with the imortal words "you all have closed minds, I will be proven right during the Aztec elevation of 2057 !!11!! "



Anyone familiar with the doomsday cult of Michael Travasser?
Subject of a documentary that counts down the time to 'doomsday' with the cult, and then as doomsday passes hilarity ensues as their beliefs get rearranged. Cognitive dissonance in action.

what the Mayans were on about

[UKRuss]

I remember one 'doomsday' date back in the early 80s, and later in the day it got really windy and stormy and me and my mate are hanging onto this tree shouting 'WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!' at everyone as they passed by.

We were very, very stoned.

So it came to pass.

[H20nly]

A drop of liquid told me about the end of the world once. It showed me the way even when I was lost. The Aliens sang songs and danced all around us. I saw how we could all be crushed but we we're being given a chance to do something more... I heard strange and wonderous music all around me. The drop made it all make sense. Without it I don't know where I'd be and I certainly didn't know where I had gone. That drop of liquid had all the answers it did.

DON'T BELIEVE ME!?!

If I could find that kid in the yankees hat that sold it to me at that Grateful Dead show in Portland you would ALL believe!!

2012 is the new 2000
2011 is the new 2012
