Well in that case, I'd say we'll all be fine.

Yeah, I really hate having a decent conversation, then some guy thinking he's original brings up one of the ten million 2012 apocalypse theories. It's old, depressing, and logically misguided.

 So here's to you Mrs. Robinson. People love you more- oh, nevermind. |

Man. Sometimes I wish I was immortal just to see how the rest of history plays out. Dying after 70, 80, even a hundred years feels like leaving before the end of a play you already walked in during the middle of.  *sigh* I wanna know what happens next, dammit. |
I agree. But kind of like my question I asked in the ghost thread, if you are immortal, and the world ends (destroyed) what would happen to you? Also, if life on Earth was wiped out before then, it would be very lonely. |
Well yeah. The plan's not really practical, lol (or possible, really), just my way of expressing my wish to get my hands on a history book from about a thousand years into the future. 
That is kind of a creepy concept, being disembodied and just wandering around space for eternity. Although if there were other ghosts around, maybe it wouldn't be so bad. And if you could go visit some of the places the Hubble telescope photographed, then it might be REALLY cool...but now I'm off on a tangent and rambling again, so think I'll stop.

There is no Planet X. Duck Dodgers and Marvin the Martian destroyed it when they couldn't decide who claimed it first.

Well, if you could fly through space really fast it would help. Taking years to get anywhere cool would suck. And theoretically, don't you suppose a ghost could survive a black hole. That could lead to some interesting shit.

The world's not gonna end, and I don't know why people think it is. The Mayans didn't think it would actually end.
Some people have decided that Nostradamus predicting it, but know what? Ever actually read his predictions? They basically read like this: "At some point between 1900-1999 someone somewhere will rise to power and be evil and start a war". Apparently, something as vague as that has been interpretted as "OMG, Nostradamus knew Hitler was coming!" which is not true. Show me a century that didn't have someone evil going to war.

Nostradamus was so vague that you could almost claim anything with his predictions.
The Mayan calander is the best part. It's like the Mayans are saying, "We don't mean we think the world will end." But some jackoffs are responding with, "Uh, yeah you do. HEY EVERYBODY, THEY MAYANS SAID THE WORLD WILL END..." Fuck these people.
Also, my favorite is going to youtube and looking at some of these doomsday theory videos. But the best part is the comments. There are people so adamant that the world will end that they actually want it to so that all of the non-believers will have to eat their words in the afterlife. I don't know if it's a psychological disorder, stupidity, or what the fuck it is, but it worries me that these people are just walking freely among us.

Neil deGrasse Tyson FTW! I love that guy so much. So articulate, so funny, so smart. And manages to make unfathomable concepts graspable for laymen (or for me, at least.)
Scamrock, I hear you on the speed thing. But then, if you were a ghost who had all of eternity, I don't suppose you'd look at time in the same way we do. Ghosts could totally survive black holes, too. SURVIVE being the operative word. Even if you were pure energy...well, no energy we know of can escape a black hole. Now, if they really are wormholes to somewhere else, that would be fine. But if all they are at their core are infinity dense, dead stars...well, you wouldn't be going anywhere ever again lol. THAT would suck.
...But it would still be worth the risk just to see what happens, frankly. Fascinating stuff.

If the world ends in 2012, then, well, hoped you're prepared.
If it doesn't, all end of the world dates will be pushed back again.

If the world ends, what can you possibly do to prepare? With the exception of virgins, I don't think there's anything anyone really needs to do. There's no "getting your affairs in order" when the entire world is coming to an end.

You know what, just listen to me. Look up a few lines, or at the top of the page, rather. What'd I tell you guys? The World Will ONLY End if Fart Jokes Aren't Funny. So if you believe fart jokes aren't funny, well, You're Fucked, Sorry.

How many "end of the world" threats can a person see before they stop caring. I am thinking the average age here has survived at least four "end of the worlds". Seriously, if life truly ends it will be on a cosmic scale. If that is the case we won't see it coming any way.

The world will end when 'Lost' actually makes sense.

Seriously though, the world can't fucking end that year, it just simply can't because for one, man has been predicting the end of the world since it was first brought up in God-knows-when, so who's to say this one is accurate at all? Second of all, the world will not end on that date simply because I'm not going to let it. It would fucking suck because for one, my high school graduation is in 2013. I mean, come on, who wouldn't want to go to their own graduation? Also, I would never be able to enjoy the pleasures of alchohol-consumption.... sweet, sweet alchohol.

One of us needs to make a list of doomsday-harbingers. Preferrably ones that could never in any way happen.

I heard the earth's poles will switch due to some change in gravity. That would be cool because it would finally snow where I am, provided I survive the rotation.
