All right. Let's just have the Aussies telling us how it is "on the other side" when it'll be the next day at them. |

They'll burn first, yeah? Who's an Aussie here? I'm looking for some live feed!
A prediction, people: Will the world end in fire or water? I'm guessing water, since there's enough of it. If it turns out to be fire, I'll have a boat waiting for me to flee into the ocean.

You guys forget one thing: Mayans didn't use the calendar that we use today. By some, the world should have ended 6 months ago. |

How's that fun?
Well, maybe those guys in the hills with their bunkers and canned food will think twice after they'll notice the world's still there in the morning. |

The Mayan calendar also doesn't signify the end of the world. It means the end of a cycle and the beginning of the next one. But people find these conspiracies entertaining

Many calendars feature January of the next year here, just because it's convenient for people who don't get their next year's calendar in advance. |

That reminds me of religious nuts going on about how everything in the universe just fits together so well, it has to be made by a divine entity

Yeah, they didn't have leap years. So we should all already be dead, as it goes.

Yeah, i read somewhere that we were in the age of Fishes and now Aquarius is coming or something? Given the fact that biggest person of last two thousand years worldwide (Jesus) was said to be a fisherman it makes sense. 
But i can see our world changing to doom, even with help of the calendar...

But I'm there already.

Zodiacal signs as we know them though (Aquarius, Pisces, you named them), are not an invention of the Mayans, as far as I know. |

Right, they are not their invention, but their end of calendars and beginning of a new time is described by them like end of the fourth sun and beggining of the fifth sun. Later T.Leary combined it somehow with Zodiac signs in his theories.

Love these world-ending conspiracies.
One thing worries me, though.
I think on that day in December we'll see a mass-suicide on some places :s |
