On Friday, at 11 minutes past 1pm, in South African time

If you manage to live past 1.11pm on Friday 21 December 2012, then you will know for sure that the predictions of the end of the world, according to the Mayan calendar, is just not true.

Almost there, folks...

Meantime, it can't hurt to be extra nice to your wife/husband, hug your children, behave responsibly  - and say a prayer.

Bet you a million US$ that the world won't end - any takers?

It isn't the end of the world, it is the end of a period in time. The Mayans had many of those throughout their existence. If anything, it is when the world finishes being turbulent and goes back to being calm.

Oh, and if they were so good at predicting stuff, why didn't they predict their own demise?

You spot on... it isn't the end of the world, it is the end of a cycle... over the long weekend I had an argument with some guys who insisted that the sun is not moving, but I tried to explain to them the fuss about Dec 21...

You may be right on that, maybe we will enter into new age of existence, stone age, iron age, information age, then wisdom age is looming.

Even Tsunami, had signs before hitting town, but the signs were ignored, but this so called dooms day would not be a miracle but magic if it happen, when people halusinate because of sniffing some baking powder, they shouldn't invite press/media, one of the 1000 existing cults prepare people for mass suicide they call it dooms day
