The City of Edinburgh Library isn't taking this too seriously. I was allowed to renew my books into January. So, maybe I won't take it too seriously either.

Might as well trash the kids selection boxes they got from "santa" then..........gg you are to blame if the world doesnt end, but, my backside eclipses the sun!
And whether to wrap or not to wrap santa pressies is a delimma...................as well as thy physics getting down the chimney etc...
It can't be the end fo the world:

According to the press, there are arrests being made in China due to people's doom mongering , one man went on a mad rampage as he thinks this is true. Also now that so many youngsters are on line many have been made very fearful of all this. Make sure you don't allow vulnerable and young people fear for their lives.
Seriously though, I think very few people actually believe this. I suspect some are just using it as an excuse to sell crap to idiots or to act out. Every year since the beginning of recorded history people have predicted the end of the world about five times a year.
If you're still certain that world is going to end then I'll give you £5k for your house right now on the grounds that you'll need quick access to money to prepare or celebrate the end of the world. I'll even let you continue to live in it until the 1st of January 2013.

These rumours have been investigated by top world scientists. They all responded with "don't worry during your life time.

Poor Drupal, what did it do to anyone. Is it the Mayan CMS of choice?
Calm down, if the Mayans were any good at predicting the future there would still be Mayans.

The countdown clock is quite clear about the timing. The End of the World is" Friday, 21 December 2012, 11:11:11 (UTC time)"
(Yes, I know the "time" is redundant, but I copied and pasted that quote.)
What's worrying me is that we might not notice it happening. It could be like falling through the event horizon of a black hole.

We'll find out soon enough. It's maybe best to grasp your chac mool tightly when the time comes.

Did the Mayans have UTC time? How do we know if they meant daylight savings time or not?

The ancient Mayans had Zulu time before the Zulus. The real mystery is how did they incorporate GR effects?

Incidentally I'm not sure if you're referencing the Star Trek Animated (http://www.startrek.com/database_article/kukulkan) episode or not.

Well, if this is the 'afterlife' I'm not very impressed.
Darn it!
Credit card bill will have to be paid!
Thought if the end of the world happened that was Christmas cancelled...but not so silly to not order the wish list (abbreviated..where do you get an unicorn?) and sensible enough not to go mad and spend an absolute fortune...
Now for my most hated task of Christmas......wrapping!..gg I hate wrapping I am so bad at it.....I measure twice and still cut paper too short ...and fish suppers look better wrapped!
Rant over..now where is the end on the sellotape!

This is all very strange. Some things seem normal, but the rest of the World is coming over so faintly that it's barely audible. Can you see me, and if so do I appear stretched out over several hundred metres? Please estimate the stretch factor, and beam it back to me using inverse Hawking radiation.
Oh dear, the signal is getting ever fainter....
And fainter....

Nope no end of the world...but if anyone can find the end of the sellotape ...when unravelled without all of it please let me know!...finding one edge then the rest not following through is annoying to exasperating!

End of earth or not....but Lauren noticed her stocking was missing....
And tears and lies...the elves have taken it for Santa to fill...

Looks like the Mayans were about 12 months off in their calculations...
