Dawn of the Final Day

Something tells me the 21st and 22nd are going to be some of the most annoying days on the internet ever.

Assuming there is a 22nd that is :P

[Psychosplodge]

Pretty much guaranteed....

[Wolfshade]

Oh no the end of the 13th b'ak'tun what will happen next?

13.0.0.0.1

sigh.

[Denzark]

At least we will have saved money on Dark Angels - in fact the Earth might look like the Rock when it is all over...

[Psychosplodge]

What you do wrong?

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

WHY YOU DO!!???!!

I think this is horseradish, I will wake up on the 22nd and say "zero f*cks given".

[DrLove42]

Of course its bollocks

Technically the Mayan Calendar ended like 13 months ago, cos they didn't account for leap years.

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

That's what I tell everyone....

[Denzark]

:eek:

Wolfy - what in the shizzle???

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Wolfie is illegal. :p

[Wolfshade]

Wolfy - what in the shizzle???

That is the Rock, you said the world could look like him.

[Wolfshade]

Ah I see.

Also, how can you steal bandwidth when they are giving it to people for free.

Fixed?

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Yes, that is certainly Dwayne Johnson.

[Wildeybeast]

So the Maya themselves are saying the world won't end and that the western world has yet again misunderstood their native cultures. I really rather hoped we were past all that.

[SotonShades]

Of course there will be a 22nd. My birthday cake has all ready been baked, and it cannot be consumed beforehand!

[Wolfshade]

Also, it is unclear if the 21st actually would start on sun set of 20th, quite a lot of calendars use sunset as the start/end point of a time.

The Mayan's were really clever, one of the few (possibly 4) civilisations to recognise 0 as a number.

[Deadlift]

Another week, and another Mayan prediction of the end of the world. :confused:

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

16 mins and 12 hours to go.

[Wolfshade]

Oh no! What will be do?!

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Dance?

[White Tiger88]

Oh no! What will be do?!

Make me a Sandwich?

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

No.....

[White Tiger88]

No.....

Not you!

[Psychosplodge]

Oh no! What will be do?!

The same thing we do everynight Pinky, try to take over ze world...

[Wolfshade]

Make me a Sandwich?

There is still cake...

[Psychosplodge]

There is still cake...

Still? hOw big a cake was it?

[White Tiger88]

There is still cake...

Ill take some cake!!!! CAKE IS NOT A LIEZ!

Technically the Mayan Calendar ended like 13 months ago, cos they didn't account for leap years.

As I remember hearing it, the Mayan calendar didn't need to account for leap years due to its accuracy. What really proves the Mayans were munching peyote salad is their notion of this age of man. We live in the 5th age, the age of the maize people - the age of the people made from corn. We are the fifth and final attempt by the gods to create people who are worthy to worship the gods. In each previous age the world was wiped clean of life and the gods started over. This age supposedly started just 5,000 years ago. If you went back in time 5,000 years, I think the ancient Egyptians might be surprised to hear they shouldn't exist.

Archeologists recently have uncovered evidence of a massive environmental catastrophe in Mesoamerica that roughly matches with the Mayan's beginning for the fifth age. They are theorizing that the Mayan's doomsday prediction is actually an account of something that happened long ago, and because the Mayans believed that history was cyclic, they simply assumed it would happen again at the end of the current epoch.

[eldargal]

There is also the fact that when the Mayan calendar starts is up for debate. The date that would see the cycle end in 2012 is a mid point in a spectrum of possible dates spanning something like a millennium. It isn't even the most widely accepted start point.

It's all fudgecakingly stupid, never mind the fact that the Mayans didn't think of it as a literal end of the world, but the idea that a relatively primitive society (compared to today) could predict the future is clearly absurd.

Hey now! Don't you go dissing the Mayans! They had wisdom handed down to them by ancient alien overminds! So says this guy:

I mean, come on. With hair like that, how could he be wrong?

Wonder how much crack he smoked to get his hair like that......

I don't know, but he sure does look like someone who cried buckets when he heard Hostess went out of business. ;)

[Wolfshade]

Still? hOw big a cake was it?

About 18"x8"X3". There is one peice left or breakfast cake as I prefer to think of it.

I have told you before, you are welcome to cake if you come and ask me for cake, also you should hurry there is one peice left.

I for one and quite happy that the world has ended.

[Psychosplodge]

I'm liking the concept of breakfast cake.

[Wolfshade]

I'm liking the concept of breakfast cake.

Breakfast cake is a suitable alternative to breakfast pork pie or breakfast pizza

[Psychosplodge]

Must be chocolate though...

[Wolfshade]

I don't know victoria sponge so you can get your fruit intake

[Psychosplodge]

but that's not chocolate fudge cake, chocolate orange fudge cake lets you get your fruit intake doesn't it?

[Wolfshade]

I don't know.

I did email Burton's Biscuit Company asking about Jammie Dodgers, they don't count towards your 5 a day regardless how many you eat. Also, they are made with plum jam that is flavoured raspberry.

[Psychosplodge]

Really? that seems an odd way to do it, why not just use raspberry?

[Wolfshade]

I would imagine flavouring plum jam is far cheaper

[Psychosplodge]

Really? I would have thought it would be more expensive it seems more unusual, or do you not really see it cause it doesn't really sell?

[Wolfshade]

Well plums tend to be cheaper than raspberries at shops, I imagine that is even more pronounced at wholesale. Raspberries are quite difficult to harvest and die back each year, plums grow on trees and they just keep coming year on year not to mention the difficulties inherent with harvesting the fruit.

I also imagine that plum is less popular than raspberry. Afterall, how often do you see plum jam compared with raspberry.

[Psychosplodge]

Yeah true, I seem to remember raspberries being high priced but I always assumed it was due to their very short shelf life(worked on a produce dept when I was a uni) I suppose if that's how they grow though that will effect it.

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Dafuq did I just read?

[Psychosplodge]

I don't know, not being psychic, what did you just read?

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

End of the World -> Jam

What the feck?

[Wolfshade]

Even in the End of the World there is still time for derailment :)

It all makes sense if you read it and flows nicely

[Psychosplodge]

Are we not in a bit of a jam if it is the end of the world in an hour?

I don't know about you but that to sounds like a bit of a potentially sticky situation...

[Wolfshade]

We just need to preserve our heads and be condiment that the world will continue

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Apparently it's 11.41?

Like I care, I'm going to play Magic the Gathering before work. :p

[Psychosplodge]

Really? they were saying 11 on the radio...oh well an extra forty mins at work...


We just need to preserve our heads and be condiment that the world will continue

True.

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Dem puns.

I have work for 3 hours today, supposed to be my day off, but I'm helping the bossman out. He is a cool guy.

Oh, **** you! **** you, pal! Jesus, there you go again trying to pass the buck. I'm the source of all your misery. Who closed the store to play hockey? Who closed the store to go to a wake? Who tried to win back his ex girlfriend without even discussing how he felt with his present one? You wanna blame somebody? Blame yourself. "I'm not even supposed to be here today."

[Wolfshade]

Security have stated that they will sound the bomb alarm if they observe the horsemen of the apocalypse

[Psychosplodge]

They did specify Apocalypse, and not Derailment?

edit

We've had an update the apocalypse is expected at 11:11.

[Wolfshade]

I won't have time to eat my pastie

[Psychosplodge]

I won't have time to eat my pastie

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Next end of a Mayan calendar

13 October 4772

Prepare yourselves!

[Psychosplodge]

Oh noes, how will I cope?

[Wolfshade]

Oh noes, how will I cope?

I can sell you some apocalypse insurance...

[Psychosplodge]

I'll consider it closer to the time...

[Wolfshade]

I'll consider it closer to the time...

Ok, I can see you are shrewd, but for an extra 10% on top of the mayan premium (that is a significant savings), I can give you insurance against all apocalyptic events, not just those predicted by south american civilisations

[Psychosplodge]

What other apocalypses are we expecting?
Does it include the nuclear winter/atomic war option?
What sort of Excess am I looking at?

[Wolfshade]

Well for example:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_dates_predicted_for_apocalyptic_events#Fut ure_predictions

A nuclear winter/atomic war option could be triggered if the casualty rate was high enough.

Well the excess is dependant upon your level of protection and your personal circumstances but for an average person, £350 per claim

[Psychosplodge]

Hmmm

[Wolfshade]

Though the emergence of a Boltzmann Brain will render the policy null.
