Just so everyone knows, the world does not, in fact, end in 2012.

The Aztek calendar was mistranslated.

Now can we stop having doomsday specials on all over the freaking place? Good God, Thomas the Tank Engine is more entertaining and informative.

	Good old-fashioned Edutainment™ will always be better than armageddon specials. I do, however, kind of like the armageddon specials just the same as I like watching old movies that take place in THE FUTURE just so I can laugh. A lot. I've already startled the cat like, three times just this morning. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	It was funny the first hundred times. Now I can't help but roll my eyes. With all the people from the future here, you'd think they'd get a clue. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh come on, be serious, when have they ever done that? It's more fun to blow their annual special effects budget on sheer speculation. This is also why I like the History/Discovery/Whatever channel's annual Dinosuar Showdown SPECTACULAR! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah, but nobody gives a damn if the dinosaurs look wrong. Ah well. It will stop playing in a few days. I love the tv progression, though. Peace and warmth and fmaily, followed by we're going to die in three years: panic! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The dinosuars might. Do we have any of those here? And just watch, come 2012 they'll have a whole bunch more specials about how there was a miscalculation or a misread and it's actualy 2102 or something. I'm Henn by the way. Henriette Stillman. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Probably. Who knows? Of course they will. It's quite ridiculous. Marius Rogan. I think we've actually met before, but I was younger then. Nice to meet you again, if we have. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	We might have, sadly I lose track of people. Think it's a side effect of: A, being born here 2, currently living in my own past III, being easily distracted by OOH A KITTY! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	boyanachronism 2008-12-31 02:22 pm UTC (link)
	No sweat. I loose track of people all the time. It took me forever to get used to seeing my parents so young. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	not_that_henri 2008-12-31 02:31 pm UTC (link)
	That still makes me jump now and again, I mean... Seriously, my mom's only a couple years older than me, or like three or something, I don't even know, but it's weird. What's weirder? I babysit the infant version of my husband sometimes and that doesn't weird me out anywhere near as badly as hanging out with little-mom. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	My grandparents are younger than me. And probably going to hook up. And all I can think is how cute their kids will be. Being a time traveler is weird. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	not_that_henri 2008-12-31 03:35 pm UTC (link)
	Heh, I can imagine so, this is my first go at it, not something I do on a regular basis. I'm more about traveling through the space and not the time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	boyanachronism 2008-12-31 03:41 pm UTC (link)
	I'm trying to cut back. It's easy to get lost when you wander too often. The here and now is fine for me. But I haven't traveled through space, either, so maybe that's pretty neat. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	not_that_henri 2008-12-31 03:43 pm UTC (link)
	It's ... uh... it's hard to explain, and it's just as easy to get lost, tried walking home while I was drunk just this summer, ended up in the drink instead of where I was aiming for. I've always called it Behind the Scenes, or Backstage like my mom calls it, but Innerspace works just as well. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	If this world ended in 2012, I'd be sorely disappointed. But at least it's amusing to see the idiots panicking. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	boyanachronism 2008-12-31 01:52 pm UTC (link)
	If anyone took it seriously, they might. but only really impressionable people do. Thank God. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	todarknessdrawn 2008-12-31 01:57 pm UTC (link)
	There's a surprising amount of incredibly impressionable people in the world, though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	boyanachronism 2008-12-31 02:01 pm UTC (link)
	Yes. There are. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Ain't such a thing as an end of the world. Simply new beginnings. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	boyanachronism 2008-12-31 02:25 pm UTC (link)
	Well, no, the world will eventually be engulfed in the sun's outer rays when it goes supernova. That will be the end of the world. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mincingbrennan 2008-12-31 02:30 pm UTC (link)
	But that's a long way off though, innit? Far surpassin' any of our own bloodlines. People will have surely blown themselves into the nether and ether by then, but even when we've all gone and the place be ruled by sentient pygmy frogs, it ain't the end of the world.

	. . . until the sun burns the world into ash. That would be end of the world. Whether humans survive until then or not isn't the point. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

It might not be the point, but it ain't gonna matter either way's what I'm trying to say like.

Ain't like none of us gunna give a flying elephant's arse when the world's burned to cinder, since we'll all be long dead and gone.

As for me, I think the next natural progression what could be seen as an end of this Age would be the Singularity. When men forsake their roots for wires completely, and start upgrading their brains.
