It’s The End(s) of The World As We Know It: Did Pop Culture Cause Mayan Apocalypse Panic?

In “The Truth,” the two-part story that closed out the nine-year run of the series, paranoid FBI agents Mulder and Scully are told very plainly by the Cigarette Smoking Man (Remember him? Such memories!) that December 21, 2012, was exactly when the series’ long-running alien threat would arrive on Earth, heralding an end to life as we know it. The prospect of an alien invasion may not have been exactly the shift in consciousness that the Mayans promised or McKenna’s mathematically proven apocalypse (although, as Sacha Dedesche points out in “The 2012 Phenomenon,” the X-Files‘ promised invasion does bring “a number of essential ingredients of the 2012 phenomenon [together] at once: conspiracy theory, extraterrestrial intelligence, ancient calendars and prophecies related to the year 2012&#8243 but, like the truth, the date was now out there—an estimated 7.5 percent of America’s households watched “The Truth,” and now they knew just when the world was going to end.

I believe it's supposed to end a 5:12 AM here so I think I'll get up early Friday morning.

This is the best site I've found for explaining everything: http://www.2012hoax.org/
Hope it eases the mind of anyone that is worried.

BTW, I'm guessing there will be A LOT of drunk driving accidents tonight. Unless you have to go out, I'd stay home after 6pm. I'm sure there will be a lot of office parties. If you've been invited to a party tonight, I'd pass. JMO

God bless, stay safe.

In the unlikely event that we survive tomorrow, here's something else to fear.

The 2038 bug:

UNIX will be one billion seconds old and everything will crash and burn.

Or not.

My teenager's observation as I was taking her to school this morning was, 'If the Mayans were smart enough to predict the end of the world, how did they not see the Spanish coming?' :waitasec: Teenagers. She and her high school buddies are having a lot of fun with this....she plans to skype tonight w/ one of her best friends, while listening to The Final Countdown. I plan to.....sleep.

It's the 21st in other parts of the world. Anyone know what time zone?

So, all we have is today, apparently (depending on time zones).

But really, isn't that true despite the Mayan calendar?

Damn, I need to start this day over, cuz I don't like how it's going, so far.

Couldn't I have a great last day? Don't I deserve it?

No apocalypse is coming — Archaeologists found the other half of the Mayan calendar in May.

Thank God!
