The Mayans were unaware of KIPASS at the time they made that calendar. They had no idea the FOB would save the world.

12-21-12

When would the 'event' take place? Some areas of the world are a day ahead of other areas. So how would that work, maybe take an average?

It is precisely 11:11, and they call it Universal Time. UTC
Not sure where that is.

I think since the Mayans were in Mexico they were on US Central or Mountain time. So my plan is to party to celebrate the end of the world on Friday 12/21 and if I'm still alive at 12:01 Saturday 12/2, party to celebrate surviving the end of the world.

Drink so much that you can no longer read the clock and you'll get through just fine.

I always get nervous this time of year when I look at the calender on my kitchen wall.  According to that document, there are no days after December 31.  I always fear the end of everything, until the VFW sends me a new calender in the mail, and I see that we have been granted another year of existence. 

I suppose if someone digs up an old copy of one of these 2,000 years from now, they will wonder how we "predicted" the end of the world every 12 months.
A life undreamed is a waste.  A dream unlived is a sin.

Y2k was no farce.  If you were in IT at the time you would know that.  So much prep was done before hand that it was basically a non-issue.

I had a guy I used to ride with who worked on mainframes in the 80s.   He basically had declining employement with the rise of the desktop PC and decided to leave IT as he was officially a dinosaur by the mid 90s.   In 1998 he was contacted by his previous employer and hired as a consultant because they no longer had anyone left who could 'fix' the old computers....    He jokingly told them OK if they woudl pay $250/hr for his services....  They accepted and 1.5 years later (spring of 2000) he retired in and bough himself a nice goldwing.

I don't know the specfics but he basically said if those jokers don't upgrade between now an 2049 they might have a big problem, but he won't be aroudn to worry about it :)  ???

And to think, we get to do all this over again, and again, and again.
It all starts over, and over.
See you on the other side.
Ride safe all,

We follow the Roman calendar, which added the leap year, something the Mayans never thought of, so really, I figure the end should have happened sometime 7 years ago or so.

I think you guys missed the point.  He's thinking it will be all of 15 minutes.  At least that's how I read it.

Well, She says "Oh my God......." a lot when we're together, so I guess she will think that the World has ended and she's in Heaven! ;D 8)
And no, she's not aware of my plan..., I would like to surprise her!

Hell no, it takes me a lot longer then 15 minutes to empty one bottle of red!
