What time are we gonna die?

[JustOne]

Today's the day isn't it?

Should I bother going to bed?

I don't want to sleep through it and miss out

 

[bluewolf]

I'm slowly coming to the realisation that I might have to buy Christmas presents after all!!

 

[need_my_wedge]

everyone still here?

It doesn't say what time though, so technically we have another 16 hours or so to go......

The Mayans were from central America, near to modern day Mexico which is six hours behind GMT. So, assuming that they predicted this in their own time zone it's now 01.50 on 21/12/12 there, and I haven't heard that they've sunk into the sea.

And it's nearly 2100 in New Zealand and as far as I know there have been no asteroids hitting Wellington.

Plus it's my work's Christmas night out tonight and I'm very much looking forward to going to the pub. If the world ends before then I'll be very cross indeed.

And they didn't factor in leap years so we are well past their estimated doomsday lol

Apparently it's supposed to be at 11:11 this morning

No idea when you're going to die JO, the prediction for worlds end is for 11.13 today though if that helps your planning today?

 

[AmandaJR]

11.13 so that gives me just short of 3 hours to eat all the xmas chocs

 

[CMAC]

Of course if you are using the Mayan calendar it's 9.05 tonight! So plenty of time

There is a funny red glow on the western horizon.

 

[Fish]

[bobmac]

I'm sure there's enough time to get some more

 

[jeardley]

Typical!! Just as I start getting somwhere with my swing the bloody world has to go and end!!

Not fair

 

[Hobbit]

If the Mayans were so good at predicting the future why aren't they still here?

I'll shall be in the golf club bar from 3pm till my own personal oblivion arrives - she's called Mrs Hobbit

 

[upsidedown]

Still here at 10.20 pm, all good apart from the Wizards losing to the aces by 8 runs in the 20 20 and a forecast of 32 for Christmas day Will be our 6th hot Christmas and it's just not right , looking forward to a cold wet and grey 2013 one , not withstanding anyth.................................................

 

[need_my_wedge]

Don't matter what time it is else where, the end is 11:11 UTC (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinated_Universal_Time). Still got 2 hours to go....

 

[JustOne]

We were supposed to go out and see some reindeer this morning, but my little boy is ill.

My little girl is whinging because we can't go.... then she said

"OK, we won't go, it isn't the end of the world"

I daren't tell her........

 

[Wildrover]

End of the world today and I can't get out, the course is closed, what are they protecting it from?

If the world does end today it will probably mean death by drowning for most of us.

There was an astronomer being interviewed on Radio 5 this morning. I can't remember word for word but the gist of it was this :-

"The Mayans weren't predicting the end of the world, it's just one of their calendars running out.
I have a calendar on the wall at home that runs out in 10 days time, it doesn't mean the world is going to end. We will have a party then wake up in the morning and put up another calendar."
