oh, and, if its gonna happen, panicking about it wont change it Grin

Well, YANBU to worry - we all have irrational fears. When I was a child, I worried about everything, from house fires, to jaberwockies, to burglars. I still have that fear of fire.

However, YABU (in the nicest possible way) to worry about the whole 2012 thing. Google Prof. Jocelyn Bell Burnell, who has refuted it in a very detailed, scientific way. Listen to the science, and you will no longer be worried. That approach has always worked for me. Once something is broken down, in a detailed, scientific way, it is no longer scary. Bell Burnell has discussed the '2012 scenario' in great detail. Please listen to / read what she has to say. It will put your mind at ease.

This is the first I have even heard of thus. [/dunce]

Can someone please point me in the direction of the-end-is-nigh-in-2012-no-not-2011-nor-2013-but-2012 literature so that I can have a laugh adequately prepare the bunker?

The Mayan calendar started over lots and lots of times? Is this true? How do you know?

BadDayAtTheOrifice · 17/11/2011 00:26

Stock up on tins of food. Grin

DrHeleninahandcart · 17/11/2011 00:27

Ooh another end of the world thing? What have I missed.

Seriously OP, listen to the rational arguments, science bits and ignore the rest as much as you can

LivingDead · 17/11/2011 00:27

Do you know, I think it's all bullshit, but with all that is happening atm I will be partying like it's 1999 if we get to 23/12/2012 without some major shit going down, whether it be economic collapse, war, or random planets causing polar shifts Grin.

MrsRhettButler · 17/11/2011 00:28

I have an iPad but you can't have it, I may need it to help me find high ground if the world ends. They are very handy things to own. :)

Zacsbird · 17/11/2011 00:29

I remember some fucking nutters really believing that Nostradamus bollocks.

Some bloke on GMTV banging on about the man with the red something or other which I think at the time (1985) was Mikhail Gorbachev who had a massive red birth mark on his head.

Seriously was convinced I was going to die a virgin, I didn't.

I mean actual shtf size occurrences of all of the above MrsRhett.

Spermysextowel · 17/11/2011 00:34

Zacsbird how soon before you died did you lose your virginity?

CheerfulYank · 17/11/2011 00:35

I was terrified of this when I was pregnant.

Not so much now. :)

MrsRhettButler · 17/11/2011 00:35

LivingDead · 17/11/2011 00:36

Surely it should be semenysextowel btw, I doubt you would even notice a spermy sex towel, them being very small and all Grin.

Zacsbird · 17/11/2011 00:39

:o now that would be telling!

Zacsbird · 17/11/2011 00:42

Hopefully I've got a good few years in me yet. Or a few good men whichever comes first. Wink

Spermysextowel · 17/11/2011 00:48

I'd hope that a semeny sex towel would be spermy. Or if you mean that a sperm's towel would be teeny tiny, well maybe I was thinking of the Woody Allen film where he's a man-sized sperm.

Pleeaase don't make me choose another name. I'm growing into this one.

ApocalypseCheeseToastie · 17/11/2011 00:49

When the world ends the interweb will be the first thing to go poof. Mark my words.

Spermysextowel · 17/11/2011 00:53

Actually I think it'll be my Tax Credits. And they will predict the end of the world with a deadline of 31/7/2012. Or you could lose the payments to which you're entitled in The Great Beyond.

LivingDead · 17/11/2011 01:37

Sorry spermy, I just meant that a spermy sex towel would in actual fact be a 99.99999% semeny sex towel, as well as you, didn't mean to cause consternation.

LivingDead · 17/11/2011 01:40

I do agree that when the actual shit hits the actual fan, the internet will go poof. Can't have the commoners communicating now, confusion and obfuscation will be king.

LivingDead · 17/11/2011 01:45

Is anyone else actually honestly, non glibly, really truthfully worried that the world is going to shit and the shit will sincerely hit the fan?

Because I really really am Sad.
