Um... I really doubt that.

or, this, from Wikipedia....

Britain and the British Empire (including the eastern part of what is now the United States) adopted the Gregorian calendar in 1752 by which time it was necessary to correct by 11 days. Wednesday, 2 September 1752 was followed by Thursday, 14 September 1752 to account for 29 February 1700 (Julian). Claims that rioters demanded "Give us our eleven days" grew out of a misinterpretation of a painting by William Hogarth. After 1753, the British tax year in Britain continued to operate on the Julian calendar and began on 5 April, which was the "Old Style" new tax year of 25 March. A 12th skipped Julian leap day in 1800 changed its start to 6 April. It was not changed when a 13th Julian leap day was skipped in 1900, so the tax year in the United Kingdom still begins on 6 April.

I have no doubt in my mind that they had to correct the calendar by 11 days, what I doubted, was that it had anything at all to do with the end of the Mayan calendar, so no matter if it is dec.21 or dec.11, it makes no change to that fact that it has nothing to do with the fact that we are near the end of the calendar.

You doubted that 11 days had gotten added to our calendar. At least, the way you posted led me to believe that you were calling that fact into question, so I shoved it in your face that I was right.

Interestingly enough, adding those eleven days pushes the end of the Mayan calendar up 11 days, then...to Jan 1, 2013.

Interesting...those Mayans really knew what they were doing!!

Do I think the world's gonna end? Hell, no, it'll keep going on just as it always has...it's always these religios morons who think the world's gonna end, and Judgement Day is coming, and etc, etc, etc.

Remember Y2K was supposed to be the end of the world, too, and it wasn't.

And another event, I remember...was a time back in the late 80's, when all the planets lined up on the same side of the sun, and THAT, too, was supposed to be a sign of the end of the world. I just laugh at all the religious morons who believe in any of that hooey.

Yeah...I think, for mankind, the world WILL eventually end. At least mankind will end, but the world will go on without mankind. Man will kill himself off, eventually. And more than likely the cause of it will be some stupid extremist group against some other stupid extremist group playing the "My God's dick is bigger than your God's dick" game.

In short...RELIGION itself...will be the root cause of the end of humankind. And it will be some extremist nutcase group or other who brings it about...because they will have talked themselves into the belief that it is their God's will that they do whatever it is that they will do which will bring about that result.

And there won't be 72 virgins waiting for any of them on the other side, either. They're gonna be real disappointed to find there IS no "other side" and that death is just IT...blotto...the end...nothing else...there is no God, there is no everlasting life, there is no Heaven and there also is no Hell. Just nothingness.

Humans are stupid.

Hopefully, nature will try again, with a smarter species...maybe the canine species...once humans have ceased to be.

the 1987 Harmonic Convergence was supposed to be the end of the world,same with the year 2000 and same with the Jupiter Effect or "Planet X"
Also Nostradamus said the world is ending in 3797 not 2012. Not even the Mayas who supposedly made this thing up believe in it.

"No one who's writing in now seems to remember that the last time we thought the world was going to end, it didn't," says Martin, the astronomy webmaster. "There doesn't seem to be a lot of memory that things were fine the last time around."

Scientists say that, at best, the poles might change location by one degree over a million years, with no sign that it would start in 2012.

Thats some quotes from My previous link.

The world is not ending in 2012,why do people want to believe it is?

Because they are religious morons.

Because they can't deal with uncertainty.

Because they desperately want to believe some great big God (who of course will take THEIR side) will wipe out all the people that, conveniently enough THEY have a problem with.

And so goes the history of humankind...wash, rinse, repeat.

Yes. You'll have to wait 79 years, though.

I'll be waiting.

I'm confused about all this year blah-blah. Y'know how the Earth formed a bunch of billion years ago. Why the heck are we at the year "2009" when it formed a gazillion years ago...Shouldnt we be at 202020(or whatever).....May be a dumb question...

This man speaks the truth!

No, I don't. I'm not a mindless sheep that will believe everything the news/tv/nutjobs/Christians tell me.
Your 2012 Solar Flare post is just another doomsday theory based on the Mayan calenders end, at 2012. OH NOES, A CALENDAR ENDED!!1 TEH END IS NEAR!!!

But no, on 2012, Revelations wont start, the world won't be burnt to a crisp (well, something like that could happen today, or any other day, but it wouldn't happen on que), teh spookey NWO won't take over, <insert numerous other theories by dumbshits>, etc.

Hey, remember when the world was gonna end 2000? God that sucked. Oh, and when the world ended 6/6/06, yea that was horrid. Oh wait, the world DIDN'T end those days like everyone said it would...could this mean 2012 isn't real? GASP!

Yeah, most of the free world follows the christian calander because of the people who founded the countries, plenty of other places have their own calanders though.

It actually stands for Anno Domini (In the year of our Lord) meaning the years after Jesus was born, not after he died. If that was the case it would now be the year 1976 as he died when he was 33 years old.

If you believe that kind of thing of course.

I was just thinking of something if people are getting paranoid about the 2012 stuff
And people freaking out. Image when the real day comes this will just get worse.
Hell this question “wills the world end at 2012?" might be what actually kills us.
People saying yes it will vs. those who don’t. and we will be the ones killing
our self because of that.

Well the thing is that the mayan calendar says that the fifth sun ends that day. It does not say that the earth ends that day. It is said the the cycle of that sun ends.
the mayans called this fifth sun Nahui-Ollin (four-movement). Or the Aztecs also called it Tonatiuh (Movement of the sun) Weird huh?

The Guild Calander ended on December 31st, 1999. Actually, it ends on December 30th; December 31st is just a box that says "HOLY SHIT WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!! PANIC!"

Seriously though, this is going to be the next Y2K except with less fact around it. Just because a bunch of guys who enjoyed knocking around balls through hoops off their hips whilst naked forgot to finish their calander doesn't translate to the end of the world.

People argue that there could also be a pole shift in 2012... well, we know how many times people were right about that

http://translate.google.com/translate?js=y...history_state0=

"Matsumura in 1960 and 1962 will be apocalyptic claim that major flooding and the accompanying shift in the pole during the year. In doing so, the original members and their families "send apple, C" I have received the message, the notice was made to set a point indicated beforehand that you receive (C is a catastrophe (catastrophe) of is an acronym). They were flying so it was UFO salvation by being."

So all we have to do to survive this one is to get on a UFO

I chose no, because I don't know. If it's going to end in 2012, then let it end. Start on a clean slate (if that is made possible by the creator).

Flame Shield
ON!!

It's cute reading how much people still believe in fairy tales. :3
