Doomsday

[ClownColor]

Boy this sucks. I finally got all the ice fishing equipment and supplies one needs and my first trip out is going to be Jan. 2013, two weeks after the world explodes...go figure!

So...what you all doing 12/21/12? I may just have to go sit on a bucket with a rod in my hands somewhere and get a front row view!

I guess it will depend on which time zone the world decides to end in

[hunt fish repeat]

Look at it another way the Mayans never said the earth will explode, the calander may have ended due to another ice age or the sun could shift away from the earth making an extreme cold scenerio for a long time before the final absolute end in which case you'll have nothing to do but ice fish and you'll be all set.

Or the guy with the chisel making the calendar had a heart attack and didn't finish...kinda like the opening montage of the Simpsons with Bart writing on the chalkboard with a different message every day (he doesn't die of course).

I'll be fishing, and thinking about where I'm gonna fish the next day

[Rippinlip]

Either ice fishing or bowhunting.

Probably thinking of how nice it is to be in the great outdoors.

Im not to worried. I figure if the Myans were that good of predictors there would be a lot more of them still around.That is a Friday though so I hope it doesnt ruin my weekend.

Celebrating my birthday!

Just remember, we all survived Y2K. The world didn't end then it isn't gonna end now.

I'm not gonna preach, but a co-worker of mine quoted the bible and in paraphrase, it says that when the world ends, all good will survive. I think this crowd will be just fine.

I shall be on a lake somewhere, tinfoil hat and all

[chris63]

I'll bet you could make a small fortune selling those tinfoil hats on here as long as you put HSO on them!c63

I will have just gotten back the 20th with a group of guys on our yearly trip to upper red.

Coincidence?

Sorry to disappoint the doomsday people but they found another Mayan calendar. Here is the article below...

"So much for the supposed end of the world," says archaeologist William Saturno of Boston University, lead author of a study in the journal Science, which reported the discovery on Thursday.

Discovered in the ruins of Xultun (SHOOL-toon) , the astronomical calendar was unearthed from a filled-in scribe's room. While about 7 million Maya people still live in Central America today, the "Classic" Maya civilization of pyramid temples had collapsed there by about 900 A.D., leaving only a few birch-bark books dating to perhaps the 14th century as records of their astronomy,

"The numbers we found indicate an obsession with time and cycles of time, some of them very large," Saturno says. "Maya scribes most likely transcribed the numbers on the wall in this room into (books) just like the ones later seen by conquistadors."

Explorers first reported the site of Xultun, once a large Maya center, in 1915. But it was only two years ago that National Geographic Society-funded archaeologists noted a small residential room partly exposed by looters. The room's walls proved to hold murals and small, delicate hieroglyphs inscribed in rows between paintings of scribes and rulers that not only corresponded to a 260 day ceremonial calendar and 365-day year, but the 584-day sky track of Venus and 780-day one of Mars.

COLUMN: The truth behind the 'Maya apocalypse'

Examination of the rows shows they are columns of numbers and symbols similar to lunar eclipse calculations found in early 16th century Maya writings that tied astronomical events to rituals. Some of them include dates corresponding to a time after the year 3500.

Rats! I was going to sleep in a little late on the 22nd!
