CloseAccording to ABC News the Mayan Calender started in 3114 B.C and ran 5126 years. They said if you do simple math (5126-3114) it shows the calender ends in 2012. The problem with that is there is no 0 year. So according to that, the Mayan Calender would actually end in 2013.
...and it is just a calendar.
My desk calendar ended on December 31st, 2011, but luckily the world still existed the following day.

Well, The Day After Tomorrow was based loosely on it. He took some creative freedoms with the source material.

I know where I'll be at 23:59:59 on December 21st, 2012, at my desk taking a screenshot for the sake of saying "welp, still here."
Doomsday is still a Friday, right? *cough* Y2K *wheeze*

I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

I don't believe that that calender in any way points to the end of the world. I was just making the point that 5126 years from the year 3114 B.C. works out to the year 2013. For the countless experts researching it, it seems pretty stupid that not one of them can figure out our calender doesn't have a year 0.
For example, the Year 2 B.C is 3 years before 2 A.D
2 to 1, 1 year, 1 B.C. to 1 A.D, 1 year, 1 A.D to 2, 1 year. 1 + 1 + 1 = 3. Pretty simple math to figure out.

Yeah one minute you say shit like that and the next "HEY LOOK WE'RE ABOUT TO CRASH INTO MOUNT EVEREST"
(I second that XKCD strip being awful by the way. And I usually like the comic.)

tpasmall, you're counting the whole year. Think about it: 2012 - 2011 = 1, but from the beginning of 2011 through the end of 2012 is two full years. 2011 by itself is one year.
5126 years from 0:00:00 Jan 1, 3114 B.C. is 0:00:00 Jan 1, 2013. Therefore, Jan 1 won't happen - the last time we will see on a clock will be 23:59:59 Dec 31, 2012.

But their calender didn't start on Jan 1 , and it ends on Dec. 21, not 31.

Der einzige Grund wieso die (amerikanische) Welt untergehen würde, wäre wohl der das es zu wenig Konsumenten gibt. Por favor.
