What will happen on December 21, 2012?

[Soylent Joe]

So personally, what do you think will happen at 11:11 a.m. on that fateful morning?



I believe nothing supernatural or any natural disasters will take place, but we will wreck shit up. If you want to cause an apocalypse, predict a date with a bit of scientific meaning meaning (solstice, end of some calendar), spread fear and exaggeration about it, and watch the people burn themselves to the ground. I really hope that I'm wrong.

I also have this theory about how some smart (but evil) people conjured up the whole thing just to get uber rich (by accumulating securities in survival supply companies, then selling shortly after the day).

Personally, I think it's Y2K all over again. Big drama and not much is going to happen.

on December 21, 2012 a man will streak his neighborhood with a slave gag in his mouth followed by an anorexic bitch screaming at him with a whip in her hand..

Other than that I bet it'll be an uneventful day..

Zombie Apocalypse gets my vote. Barring that, I think it is a plot from a real-life Tyler Durden, and there will be thousands of coordinated terrorist attacks to financial and government sites around the world. The result will be a breakdown in civillization and government. Unfortunately, the chaos will last only as long as communications are down. I'm guessing, factoring in the toll that will be taken by people taking advantage of the situation, we're talking five years max before we're back to a functioning system. Unfortunately it will probably be totalitarian in nature in the name of security, completely defeating the purpose of the freedom fighters to begin with.

There was some precedent for Y2K. Any computer that stored the date as a two character string did have problems turning over to the year 2000 (most likely overflowed--requires three digits but only has two).

There is no merit behind Mayan predictions though. In Mayan culture, the date actually signifies "rebirth" much like Gregorian calendars celebrate a "rebirth" every "New Year" (the birth of a new year). Many predictions of the world ending have been made and none have been correct. The Mayans couldn't even predict their own demise.

Well, a maltese man is planning to take over Europe (http://www.imperium-europa.org/the_idea/home.asp) or something to that effect and the date he mentions is this one.

What's really bad about this is that he isn't kidding, seems to be dead serious about it...
