   No, it is still today on this side of the world. It is always today here.

   “And LBJ said ‘shucks, let there be an eighth day’ and on the eighth day he gave a bar-b-q” (Orson Wells from an old LP from around 1970)
   Also: “and foremost among them was Daley, lord of hosts and maker of kings” (Orson Wells, same LP)
   BTW, if the world ends on 21 Dec 2012, so what? Just make sure all of your bills have been paid or you may be in trouble.

   Meanwhile, over at “9 Chickweed Lane”, a character is looking at the date 12/12/12 and trying to figure out which number is the day of the week. The answer, of course, is none of them.

   BTW, they already found a mayan calendar that counts further than 21st december, so guess we’ll live a little longer… ;-D

   @Rottiluv

   Both possibilities have been rumored. Which is correct is not the point here. Roy is obsessed with numbers and will be ready for either.

   to those people who believe in 12/21 and 12/12 and have been making a doomsday prep, what happens when it all becomes a normal day? or, it doesn’t have this year or next or in 5 years, or ever?

   Mayans: human sacrifice, no steel, no wheel. What did they know that we don’t? Nothing. Can’t get excited about a date on a defunct calendar by a stone-age culture.

    Take a look at all the other “Millennialist” Groups that predicted Doomsday. They tend to “explain away” the date, say "OOPS, I got it wrong. It’s REALLY. . . " or otherwise dodge the bullett.

    Today (or the 21st) is the last day of the rest of your life.

    The problem with prophecy is: if the future is already written, and its fulfillment is inevitable- then does anything we do matter? Is free will a delusion? If everything leads to an end already foreseen, then are we making choices at all, or only acting out predetermined parts? How about the idea that an ancient civilization guesses at a possible end, based upon the way they see the world in their own time and through the lens of their own culture? It’s a guess.

    12/12/12 is just a cool date.

    I agree with thinking 12/12/12 is a cool date. Now you have time to prepare a good gag for 01/01/01.
