But almost all jokes aside, if the end of the world comes, please let it be after the Doctor Who Christmas special! Afterwards, I don't care XD

Damn right! Other wise the end of the world will have me to answer too!!!!

+1 I love how there have been so many times "the end of the world is coming". Jesus get over yourselves already. We have about as much of a clue about the world ending as a rock does about it's surrounding environment. Idk why everyone is so hung up on the world ending. If it does somehow one day, then sit back and enjoy yourself while you can. Life is like a train and you know what, it's going to hit you. Now you can either run from it in panic until you die, or you can sit back, crack open a beer and watch it come.

I always find it very comical as well. As after all, we are all going to die anyway. The world ending makes no difference in that regard.

i read 1/3 of the US still thinks the world is only 6,000 years old, so... So if the US can believe that, i guess the world can believe in 2012 :)

As a veteran of surviving the end of the world (Y2K), I'm not terribly concerned.

I cant wait for the 22nd , Im seriously going to troll the nut job sites till I'm banned into oblivion.

No doubt the doom sayers will come out with some BS excuse as to why we all are alive and create some other stupid date for our horrific deaths.

Why dont these idiots make up something nice , Like the AOKP unicorn comes down and licks the evil from humanity until we get a visit from a spaceship full of little green android dudes and we all get assimilated into droids (4.2 AOKP obviously)

A man can only dream hahaha :woot:

Is this a joke? That name is known for something else that I consider wacky as well lol :p

I also spotted this and was surprised that only one person picked up on this! Perhaps we're showing our age, (Not sure how old you are?) but for those that don't know what we are going on about, the person that immediately came to mind was L. Ron Hubbard. He wrote pretty famous books like Battlfield Earth and Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health. He also started that most insidious of "religions" called Scientology!

It crossed my mind too, but I think he died something on the lines of 20 years ago. Other people here probably realized the same thing. :)
