The world didn't end where you are? It did here; it was quite nice, actually. Afterward, we all got cake. There were little flowers made of sugar on top. Very classy event, sorry you missed out.

Frankly, the whole business is ludicrous, a sad display of seuperstition in the face of science. Why, ther idea that the world might just end is preposte
If the world ended, then crazy things would happen like Paul McCartney joining Nirvana. Wait...
The Geek and Sundry twitter account had the right idea:The Doctor, Buffy, Sheriff Jack Carter, the SG-1 team, Torchwood, Warehouse 13, Mulder & Scully, and Sam & Dean saved us!

This looks like a job for fanfic!

That was awesome. I might have died happy then.
I am not only still here, but I just got three free e-books from Nightshade books. Here's the e-mail they sent me that says what to do for the free books:Well, we can add the Myan end of the world prophecy to the long list of things that didn't happen. And while it's probably no surprise to most of us that we woke up as per usual, we think it's still worth celebrating!
PLUS, its the Winter Solstice! Double trouble! So let's nestle into the longest night of the year with some free reading, shall we?
Here is how it works:

(I read the last one a couple of years ago and it's really good.)
I don't know how many times I have to keep telling people this - The Mayans did not predict the world would end in 2012! When a calendar runs out it means you get a new calendar! My calendar runs out on Dec 31 - so there are at least an extra 10 days to replace it and save the world.

The world ended a long time ago, and we've been living in a digital off-site (off-world?) backup ever since. We just haven't noticed...
Some scientists believe we are living in a simulation, obviously.http://www.simulation-argument.com/

I know you think these people who went to such great lengths for this would have done a little research.
But I am typing this from the alien spaceship that rescued me in france so who am I to argue.

I'm sure it's me missing something obvious, but I don't get the joke. Please explain so I can say 'oh' and feel stupid.

Psssh, actually, it was ME who saved the world (prove I didn't!) but do I get the credit? Does the world bow down before me and bring me flowers and kittens and other nice things? No. Next time, I'll just hop away elsewhere and let the planet burn!
@Ruth - its a play on the word apocalypse. Get it? Alpaca Lips - apocalypse. It is silly. I know. Alpaca Lips nah = Apocalypse Now.

Oh lol good one ruth, I didn't get it either, that's pretty funny.

Ha Ha. I am so slow. I get it now. I was thinking you must be in South America somewhere. Where the official Mayan timezone would be. Then I was thinking, do they have Alpacas in South America? And do they have lips?
I thought it was a llama. But all I know about animals I learned from Winamp.

Love the alpaca lips joke....sounds like a joke my pops tells...He actually woke me up at like 12 am on 22nd to say "looks like the zombies can't read calenders"....then had nerve to wonder why he almost got slipper to forehead...
Hell I'm surprised I actually threw it anywhere near him...my aim 5 seconds out of sound sleep is usually much worse :)
