yorkie1999 Posted 21 December 2012 Posted 21 December 2012 Why's everyone keep banging on about the end of the world like there's no tomorrow
GLC Posted 21 December 2012 Posted 21 December 2012 Don't worry there will be more opportunities to welcome in the apocalypse, my Calendar runs out in 10 days, must mean the end of the world, unless I get a new one for Christmas.
Bellend Sebastian Posted 21 December 2012 Posted 21 December 2012 There I was expecting the end of the world, and what actually happened was I ate a pizza and was given a lovely t-shirt as an unexpected Christmas gift. I bet there's nothing in the Mayan Calendar about that. F***ing idiots
THEBIGJOHNSTEADER; Posted 21 December 2012 Posted 21 December 2012 What i said @ Anyone who left a Facebook status about the world ending today - shut up you fvcking cvnt I seem to be a few friends down already
kingfox Posted 21 December 2012 Posted 21 December 2012 I had a nosebleed last night, that's the closest I came of dying.
Fox92 Posted 21 December 2012 Posted 21 December 2012 What i said @ Anyone who left a Facebook status about the world ending today - shut up you fvcking cvnt Everybody on your friends list for a guess, if it's anything like mine?

I bet there's nothing in the Mayan Calendar about that. F***ing idiots They did say something about a b'ak'tun , so maybe they were on about how your pizza was cooked . It's more than just a coincidence !!
Guest MattP Posted 21 December 2012 Posted 21 December 2012 Mayans were definitely Liverpool fans. Making bold, ridiculous predictions, living off ancient history, lost among modern civilisation...
BoneDog Posted 21 December 2012 Posted 21 December 2012 Gutted. Was kind of hoping to be crawling down the street with a megaphone round my neck in a superstorm, struggling through broken up earth after a few quakes, lifting the megaphone up when sighting other survivors, and shouting "I warned yers.....but did yer f*&kin listen?.......did yer bollocks......welllll yer ain't seen nothing yet yer bastards, the Maruts are a comin.....Good Luck...". And so on. * Why didn't we listen to Archer? Never heard of Archer before. I might have a look at those episodes sometime. I remember Al (I think) posting a thorough explanation, I was just taking the piss. I'm still waiting for Harold Camping's next prediction, he's due a result. Never heard of that Camping fella either. Just googled him and he's a doom prophet. "Multiple failed predictions of dates for the End Times". Sounds like my kind of guy! No, it's the change of the b'ak'tun - akin to the millennium, it's not a warning of shit coming anymore than Y2K was. I'm a renowned ancient times scholar here in The West, and I don't believe that you are, so I'm having none of that claptrap! *Not really, I'm delighted as much as everyone else is. It is a massive relief all round. #closeshave
act smiley Posted 22 December 2012 Posted 22 December 2012 No, it's the change of the b'ak'tun - akin to the millennium, it's not a warning of shit coming anymore than Y2K was. The thing with Y2k is that anyone making something important enough to be the cause of the end of the world wasn't stupid enough to use a 2-year date format as something important and there was enough of a fuss for people to check everything important - the real problem is going to be the end of epoch in 2038 as that will stop the actual processing of time being done correctly & because the world didn't end in 2000 nobody's going to take it seriously.
BunkMoreland Posted 22 December 2012 Posted 22 December 2012 You're telling me I have to wait another 26 years for another end of the world? There must be something sooner. I can't wait to have another preparatory night of booze, coke and 18ish year old Romanian hookers like I had the other night.

There's plenty of time for them to come up with an alternative to UTC. Maybe add a letter in. If it works, we're good for another 68 years,

If it works, we're good for another 68 years, Most modern stuff is 64-bit so just uses a 64-bit int instead, gives thousands of years instead of the extra 68 you get from using an unsigned 32bit & doesn't result in potentially messing up with stuff that uses the negative values to represent the past. The problem isn't really the whole thing of coming up with alternative representations - its that there's loads of software & firmware that will need updating and it'll be a real problem to make the changes for legacy and embedded systems.
flowwolf Posted 23 December 2012 Posted 23 December 2012 May be it did end and we are just living a future life that we would have led ?
BoneDog Posted 3 October 2013 Posted 3 October 2013 HARK! First the fine ash appears in the air. Then the gravel. Followed by hot coals. Then the world goes dark for about 6 months because of smoke and cloud. Maruts, or 'the terrible ones', as records show they were called in many continents in ancient times, are swarms of meteorites. When they come, they come in very large and aggressive gangs. We get a lashing from them every two to three thousand years. Here's a couple of examples. Luckily these ones aren't on fire and making a hideous din, but it's just to get a feel for what's about to pop off. The second one's a big f*&ker, about 9 tons I think. Not to be sniffed at. The following passages are some experiences of them in ancient times. Written records from witnesses and survivors, and warnings to us. Yee may mock the message, but gerra load of this. SHITROCKS. Joel 2 : 3 A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth...Nothing shall escape them. Joel 2 : 4 The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses: and as horsemen, so shall they run. Vedic Hymns Like a blast of fire...Blazing in their strength, brilliant like fires, and impetuous. At their racings, the earth shakes, as if broken, when on the heavenly path they harness for victory. They are like headlong charioteers on their ways. They who are brilliant, of terrible design, powerful, and devourers of foes. Host of your chariots, terrible Marut host. Joel 2 : 6 Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces shall gather blackness. Vedic Hymns At your approach the son of man holds himself down...You have caused men to tremble, you have caused mountains to tremble. Joel 2 : 7 They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks. Vedic Hymns Your conquest is violent, splendid, terrible, full and crushing...The terrible train of untiring Maruts...Full of terrible designs, like giants. If there is any doubt as to the nature of "the terrible ones", the following words would dissipate it: Joel 2 : 10 The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble; the sun and moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining. Vedic Hymns You shake the sky. The terrible ones...even what is firm and unshakable is being shaken. When they whose march is terrible have caused the rocks to tremble, or when the manly Maruts have shaken the back of heaven. Hide the hideous darkness, make the light which we long for. As you now know, it's gonna be a rough ride. I'd definitely buy a hard hat. I've filled the attic with mattresses. Nothing's getting through them pissers. GOOD LUCK Oooh that reminds me, when you hear about that trumpet sounding on the Day of Judgement, it's not a literal brass trumpet, it's the caves and other cracks and crevices of the earth letting out shit loads of air very fastly. Sounds like a massive trumpet. Different notes depending on what size crevice you're near. So when you hear it don't shit your pants, calm down, it's not a massive giant with a giant trumpet, it's just the earth about to have a great big f*&k off set of earthquakes. Just go with it and you'll be alreet. If any of you are wise you'll heed these words. Now I don't want to alarm anybody but my mate at NASA has got the week off along with about 20,000 of his colleagues because of the gov shutdown. The essential parts of NASA (or the guys 'in the club') are still at work but they've sent home all 'not in the knowers' and possible 'gossips' and have taken down access to their cameras. My source says that this could be the month of the Marut invasion, "At an instant, suddenly". Chilling words for sure. He also warned of the grid going down one way or the other but I don't know anything about that. Good luck and don't forget your hard hats, or even better try and build yourselves a Popemobile. WE'RE BACK ON

The Doctor Posted 3 October 2013 Posted 3 October 2013 - They've sent home the ones who aren't essential for the missions being run at the moment given they've got very little funding as a result of the shutdown - they can only pay a fraction of the staff...

Cha, right! Who told you that, NASA? They're called Never a Straight Answer for a reason Doc. Think on.
The Doctor Posted 3 October 2013 Posted 3 October 2013 Cha, right! Who told you that, NASA? They're called Never a Straight Answer for a reason Doc. Think on. If that were the acronym then it'd be the NSA - you don't encorporate single letters into acronyms... Besides, it's common sense: imagine you have 40 employees, and you've only got the money to pay 20? Who do you get rid of first? The ones who aren't essential. I don't doubt they're hiding some cool stuff from us, for instance this passed under the radar (picture is wrong, that's a dust cloud, but the void does exist): but they aren't covering up the start of a massive meteor shower. We've got two due this month, the Draconids & the Orionids, and the dates for meteor showers are tracked by the IMO (International Meteor Organisation), not NASA.
BoneDog Posted 4 October 2013 Posted 4 October 2013 So you're telling people not to worry? Very irresponsible, but that's Darwinists for you.
The Doctor Posted 4 October 2013 Posted 4 October 2013 So you're telling people not to worry? Very irresponsible, but that's Darwinists for you. Yes, because these two meteor showers happen annually and are about as dangerous as a taxidermied chihuahua. I fail to see how me having a basic grasp of biology comes into this, but it's not irresponsible - irresponsible is whipping up hysteria over nothing.
Kyle_Le_Don Posted 4 October 2013 Posted 4 October 2013 The whole apocalypse Malachi is supposed to be about truth being unmasked or something along those lines and not the end of the world. More like the end of the world as we know it. Mayans
