Countdown until the End of the World

I think BMG had a thread similar to this for Y2K. There wasn't an actual countdown, though. That was reserved for "Operation 1337" which regular members didn't have access to.

So unless you all have been living under a rock (a.k.a., duress) there's some long-standing Mayan prophecy that the world ends on December 22 in 2012. That's in five days.

Party hard.

Today is the 14th, correct? Wouldn't that mean seven days, since the actual date is the 21st IIRC?

For some reason I thought today was the 16th. And I looked at websites that reported it as 5 days, 21 hours, which would suggest it was the 16th.

What spell have you cast on the world, phoopes, to rewind time?

Sadly, even after that day, I don't think this myth will end.

Even though nobody actually believes those "end of the world" predictions, I'll bet there are going to be a lot of bitchin' parties the night before.

Stocks will probably take a hit too, because of nervousness and stuff like that.

I always take these things as seriously as if somebody tells me the world is square. But anyway I can't wait for the reactions when the world doesn't end that will be a hoot

I hope this is a joke because if the world ended, it wouldn't matter if you sold all your stocks- You're dead.

Well, he's technically right because if the world ended, the stock market would take a big hit because it wouldn't exist anymore. :3

You do realize people also believed in a giant bearded man who lived atop a mountain and threw lightning down to the earth. He was immortal with power beyond imagining and he liked the ladies.

I've actually been looking for this song forever, just found it today. All I remembered was that it was from the soundtrack of a sports game (yeah, real specific) and the lyric, "It's a brand new day." Well anyway, great song, title appropriate for the thread, (etc.)

Yes, I knew what song he was thinking of. :P The one I posted just happens to be a better song IMO. Though yeah, looking back at that I wasn't clear about that at all.

Not at all! It's a very simple equation!

How did Raptor Jesus die? By a Meteor, of course! That means Meteor Mash! Now who is Loki? The Norse god of mischief! The only mischievous pokemon that learns Meteor Mash is, of course, Clefairy! Clefairy's evolved formed is Clefable! Clefable's pokedex number is 36! There are twelve months in a year!
Thus, 36/12 = 3!

HALF LIFE 3 CONFIRMED!
