Agreed, but who do you want on your side to prevent the end of the world?

The only thing more appropriate would be if it hit on a Friday 13th. Evil Smile

Let me just say that anyone who has researched this 2012 prediction knows that many people predicted the same exact date over the centuries. It has come up quite a few times, and always in a negative, end-of-the-world light. All of the people who predicted it didn't know each other, and lived in completely different countries/centuries, and a computer program originally designed to predict stock market crashes also pointed to 12-21-2012 as being a cataclysmic event. So if this is all just some big consiracy, it's pretty damn elaborate.

That being said, I'm not really worried about it. If the world does end then, there is nothing we can do about it, so I say enjoy life while you can, and after all, isn't that what anyone can do?

I'm gunna go with...yes!

Its gunna be the asteroid, Quetzalcoatl will come and kill all the non believers, or the world will just end when we reach zero point.
Theres so many people saying we will all die in 2012 it must be true!
To be honest I wouldn't be surprised if we all do in 2012...but it'll most likely be a nuclear war

I don't think the whole Mayan thing means much from the surface either, but these guys were very advanced for their time. They were the first to use the number 0, and were advanced astronomers for their time. I think it's more myth than truth, but I don't think that it's absurd or anything like that.
They were advanced, but how does "They had an advanced calendar, and it happens to end in 2012, so the world will end because OOGAH BOOGAH" make any sense? They didn't even realize the dangers of deforestation...

But they're an ancient civilisation! Everyone knows that ancient civilisations are privy to knowledge unattainable by modern science, like the existence of aliens, the date of the end of the world, faster-than-light travel and the location of the pencil case I lost a few years ago...

I've done some reading about this in the past. The chance is pretty small, but even if it were to strike earth, I'm being optimistic that we'd have technology that could somehow have a gravitational pull and direct the asteroid away from earth.

I know NASA monitors these sorts of things, and they'll be able to detect any "dinosaur killer" impacts several months (if not years) out. The idea is then that we smack it with something while it's far away, changing it's trajectory ever so slightly. If you do it with enough advance notice, it won't take much force to adjust even a huge body's trajectory so it will avoid the Earth.

No...but I think there's supposed to be a ELE comet that has a small chance of smashing into the earth in 2036 or something.  Hmmmm...that would rock.  I'll be 67 if I've lived that long, and what a better way to go than during a mass extinction.  Thumbs Up
