You know what else is scary?</p>
<p>I just got a "blue screen of death" when trying to Google this stuff...

</p>
<p>Sounds like a conspiracy to me...</p>
<p>The Mayans may still be alive and well, covering up their secret until the day comes.</p>
<p>I have no idea have a "blue screen of death" is.</p>
<p>Yeah, I've heard that as well. I was going by the 265 count.</p>
<p>It's when your computer dies and shows that blue screen.</p>
<p>Just think... How many times have different civilizations and different philosophers/groups of people/etc. said that the world was going to end? Remember the year 2000?
Well you are still reading this...
Its all BS
Go watch Penn and Teller: BS (first season) and you'll see that all this end of the world stuff is just a bunch of loonie stuff.</p>
<p>That doesn't happen to me. But whatever! </p>
<p>So, the world ending would kind of suck.</p>
<p>IDK... when several civilizations say the same thing there is nothing wrong with curiosity and exploring further the subject.</p>
<p>The world will end on June 6, 2006 (Anniversary of D-Day). In other words, 06/06/06. That sucks because I'll just have graduated high school.</p>
<p>It sucks worse for me because I won't have graduated yet. </p>
<p>The Mayans were actually quite accurate with basically all of their predictions. They were a pretty awesome culture. Anyway, it doesn't matter whether it will happen or not; we are simply talking about the beliefs of a very advanced ancient culture. I don't see the harm.</p>
<p>LOL. I just find all this stima interesting.</p>
<p>This fact isn't nearly as frightening as it sounds! The Mayans kept extremely detailed astronomical records and they followed the cycles of the planets and stars as they travel around in their orbits. We are currently in the 4th cycle recorded by the Maya. It started in 3114B.C. and lasts for 5126 years until 2012. With the end of the 4th cycle comes... the beginning of the 5th cycle. The Maya believe that in the 5th cycle the ancient wisdom of the Maya will be rediscovered by the world and it will be a new dawn for mankind! </p>
<p>"In just 12 years we face another apocalyptic test: the Classic Maya millennium, on December 23, 2012 (based on our Western Gregorian calendar). That's when the Maya calendar will turn over to all zeros 13.0.0.0.0 by the long count. (By the way, the Maya use of the zero by at least A.D. 200 is one of their key claims to fame, since the zero was not introduced to the West until the insights of Aryabhata, a fifth-century Indian mathematician, reached Europe.) The Maya millennium comes 5,126 years after the creation, which, by their reckoning, occurred precisely on August 11, 3114 B.C. But we probably shouldn't worry too much about this, since Pacal, the most famous ruler of Palenque, confidently predicted that his accession would be commemorated on October 15 in A.D. 4772 (Gregorian time).
We, like the Maya and probably everyone else, are always trying to predict critical turning points in the future so we will have time to prepare for them. Unfortunately, we're not very good at it. "(W.L. RATHJE, a Senior Editor of Scientific American Discovering Archaeology)</p>
<p>Pretty much, all the Mayan calendar will do is turn to a 5th cycle.</p>
<p>That is what should (and probably will) happen. But the Mayans believed that some crazy stuff would happen.</p>
<p>Anyway, college applications suck. I'm stuck on a short answer question (see: "I am in need of some assistance!" in Harvard). I can't wait until this is all over with.</p>
<p>Google "Malachy Prophecy" and you will find interesting stuff.</p>
<p>OMG:( I got the blue screen of death as well....and I am not kidding either...:(:(:(.</p>
<p>And what was scarier.....when i discovered this mayan thing AGAIN some show with antonio bandaras (mispelled:)) about possible fossils of christ possiblt bringing christianity in vain............scary tough........very heavy.........</p>
<p>In fact it just finished at 12:00pm midnight.......</p>
<p>Maybe I'll wait on the googling since blue death screens seem to be associated with it.</p>
<p>LOL. Oh no, I have scared y'all.</p>
<p>Y'all. hehehe</p>
<p>Are you the Texan Harvard gay or the Georgian one?</p>
<p>...I shouldn't make fun. I say "wicked."</p>
<p>You know. Like:</p>
<p>wicked cool
wicked dumb
etc.</p>
