For our part in FNQ, we plan a beach party, complete with a set of Floaties each, just in case :-) A telescope of course so we can see Nibaru as it looms suddenly out of the darkness. And our tin foil hats of course :-)
JJJ were way too early with their prediction of the end of the World last Friday, WE knew it would not happen until the 21st !!!

Damn!..... &%$%&. Just realised the 21st falls on a Friday.
I gotta' work all week then they gonna' end the world. I would have liked to have the "End of The World" on a Monday.

Are all these earthquakes anything to do with the gravity pulls? Like starting to pull the Earth apart. It seems to be happening.
I'll be sure to wish everyone a nice Christmas wish early this year.

Oh, by the way, is the 21st USA 21st or is it Australian 21st? If its USA then we have the ending on the 22nd.
Something just is not right.

Where's my vodka stash?

Cheers

Does this mean I won't get my annual leave this year? My last day at work is the 21st.
Hope last day isn't a premonition 😳

I start a new job on January 2nd. Last day in my current role is next Friday (21st). I'm on the Perth to Adelaide flight on Friday evening... maybe I'll get a bird's eye view of the event?

They're having a "Not the End of the World" star party at the University of Texas Arlington Dec 21 19:00 MST. I've asked how they are going to manage that as by that time in the US it is already Dec 22 for most of the world.

Maybe we should have a few in NZ and Oz at our local 19:00. That's 15-20 hours earlier depending on timezone.

If it really happens we won't have 23 people for pre-Xmas lunch on the 22nd.

Probably USA time, as the Mayans were in Central America and they shared the same timezone...

Specifically, Mountain Standard Time.

Jokes aside, for approximately 150,000 people on earth the 21st December will be their last living day on earth. This being the current world daily mortality rate.

I just had to do a blog post on my AskTheScienceGuru site on this one !
It's a shame that so many people believe that something bad (more than usual) is going to happen on the 21st.
When in fact the Mayan predictions themselves are for a POSITIVE transformation and the return of Their Wise Men, in effect their own second coming !
