We need more sprint car racing at our home track.

If the Mayans are so damn smart, then tell me who will win the Chili Bowl.

Mayans may still be right. The day ain't over!

If the Mayans were so good at predicting the future, why didn`t they see the Spanish coming?

I think the guy in charge of doing the calendar just said screw this ,I`ve gone far enough, and I`m done!

A local Psychic shop here in Chico had a fire recently and the cynics among us were quick to say "You would think she would have seen that coming......"

While were pondering stuff, ponder this...The Mayan calendar is more accurate than the atomic clock, which happens to be our most accurate measure of time today...

Where the Mayans got off track was when their "Teachers" promised to return in the distant future...They were also given the knowledge that our existence in this form, a conscience and a soul, was a result of DNA (genetic) alteration by our Creature(God)...This misinterpretation resulted in a culture of blood sacrifice, which, is why God sent the Spanish Armada along with the Priest to destroy their culture...

Today will mark an astrological event that only occurs once in 13,000 years and, it was about 13,000 years ago we have record of the Ancient Samerians (sp?) in what is today, Iraq...With that, look how far we've come in thirteen thousand years...

Speaking of ghosts, I was visited by one on just the other day...he was driving me freaking nuts because I didn't know WTF he was trying to tell me...When I got home my wife, who's way more connected than I, told me to figure our what person, who has passed, I thought of that day...That person, who I thought of, was my first real boss who took the time to really teach me what work ethic meant, Clayton Perry...His message, I think it was to get my priorities a little straighter...I headed that advice, and I thank him for taking the time out of his busy afterlife to pay me the consideration...

The "guy" who did the calendar and calculating forgot one important thing.

LEAP YEAR!!!

Has anyone else noticed the blue star in the ESE sky this evening...There are cultures in existence today that believe the "End Times" are ushered in by the blue star...

actually the mayas figured one year to be 365.242036 days. which is more accurate than the 365.2425 days of our calender.

the mayas figured things a little different than we do. from what i know they had dates that could repeat. their calender ran in cycles. the first day of the maya calender was 13.0.0.0.0. some say that is when the maya believed the world began.

coincidentally, that same maya date repeats on dec 21 or 23 of our year 2012.

Yeah, the whole leap year thing is just a rumour. That's not true. However, the mayans did fail to take into account the axial tilt of earth which causes our orbit around the sun to wobble back and forth over a 70 year period. The astrological event that was supposed to happen the 21st actually happened in 1998.

You were probably looking at Venus.

Incorrect, 13.0.0.0.0 was the end of the 13th baktun. A baktun is the mayans 394 year cycle, which they base off of the earth's relation to the stars.. The fact that the mayan calendar never started a 14th baktun was what caused this whole world ending crap. However, we have just entered the 14th baktun under mayan culture.

The weird thing about the Mayans was that although they had a better understanding of the cosmos than Europeans of the time, used the concept of Zero which Rome lacked, & knew that planets revolved around the sun, they never invented the wheel.

Maybe in their wisdom they knew it would lead to sprint car racing which would eventually bankrupt their culture?

i am not trying to argue with you because i am not an expert on the mayas, but if you dispute the info take it up with these people.

Logically, the first date in the Long Count should be 0.0.0.0.0, but as the baktun (the first component) are numbered from 1 to 13 rather than 0 to 12, this first date is actually written 13.0.0.0.0.

Long Count will again reach 13.0.0.0.0 on 21 or 23 December AD 2012.

The date 13.0.0.0.0 may have been the Mayas’ idea of the date of the creation of the world.
