earthquakes

With all the earthquakes around the world lately, include the floods in OZ,
quake in NZ, ice and snow storms in the UK and USA, floods everywhere around
the world, bushfires in heaps of places.
looks like the so-called predictions of Nostradamus and the end of the 5th
epoch according to the Aztecs, will end on 24th December 2011.
The Mayan calendar comes to an end on 23rd December 2012,
Looks like it is on the way.
Got your seat booked on an express flight to Mars ??

 

So I'll be having a celebratory drink on NYE 2012. Count on it.

The end of the 5th epoch does not worry me.

Maya numerals were a vigesimal (base-twenty) numeral system. So I'm
speculating there could be another number after 5 in the magic number
jar (6?).

I expect the imminent end of the 5th epoch to have about the same
relevance to me as the end of the second millennium did in the
Christian calendar: the laws of physics are still in effect, and my
motorcycle wheels are still going around.

 

yah Im off the hook. Hadn't even started my Xmas shopping yet. Now to
find a harvey norman interest-free loan that extends past that date.

 

I think if you check the small print of the loan agreement, they can
follow you to the ends of the Earth, and beyond if necessary.

Update from Wikipedia (Maya calendar)

'Misinterpretation of the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar is the
basis for a New Age belief that a cataclysm will take place on
December 21, 2012. December 21, 2012 is simply the day that the
calendar will go to the next baktun.

Sandra Noble, executive director of the Mesoamerican research
organization FAMSI [who is more credible the G], notes that "for the
ancient Maya, it was a huge celebration to make it to the end of a
whole cycle". She considers the portrayal of December 2012 as a
doomsday or cosmic-shift event to be "a complete fabrication and a
chance for a lot of people to cash in."[14] The 2009 science fiction
apocalyptic disaster film 2012 is based on this belief.'

Now... if there's a party on I /do/ have some prep to do before
2012... Does anyone know what they smoked at celebrations in Central
America around 2000 BCE? Dried leaves or something, I'll bet.

 

They're welcome to serve me papers on Mars.

It should surely be something akin to ecossimal?

Watch out for Uranus.

Futurama ended that joke forever!

Fry: "Hey, as long as you don't make me smell Uranus." *laughs*
Leela: "I don't get it."
Professor: "I'm sorry, Fry, but astronomers renamed Uranus in 2620 to end
that stupid joke once and for all."
Fry: "Oh. What's it called now?"
Professor: "Urectum. Here, let me locate it for you."
Fry: "Hehe, no, no, I think I'll just smell around a bit over here."

Just prior to Dec 31, 1999 those temples of modern secular worship (shopping
malls in the USA) apparently ran out of bottled water, toilet paper and hand
gun ammunition.

So for 23 December 2012, surely a pagan date to end the World, my picks to
go really long on are -

1) Disposable nappies (to cope with the vast increase in births needed to
repopulate)

2) Some of the more reliable treatises on atheism, (just to be able to show
they were right), and

3) some really good tea (always required in a real crisis).

In the event there is then a destination decision required between heaven
and hell, I have no doubt I will be directed to the hotter alternative.

What I am not sure about, is which bike to ride ??

Best, Andrew

 

Serve me papers? Extra toilet paper would be welcome on Uranus too.

 

Oh oh... this thread is about to cross the MG threshold isn't it?

 

Whatever it is, it will certainly have Lucas electrics.
