Yes, everything is gonna happen,
War - Pestilence - Alien Invasion - the Works
I plan on running in circles naked with my hair on fire shrieking like a little girl until it all goes black.

If you are referring to the Mayans, they were morons. Supposedly invented the zero. Well zero means nada, nothing. Just in case I wiil be laying in my bathtub clutching my GAP 10 with a mattress pulled over my head. I would worry more about 12-12-2012. Those numerologist people will be walking out in front of cars and busses and shit. Long live the Roman calendar!

Oops. My mistake. I think the OP is referring to the alignment of planets and stars and such that occurs every so many tens of thousands of years. Maybe connected to the Mayan calendar. My only change in plans will be to have my telescope with me in the tub along with my GAP 10 covered by a mattress.

Yea I'm sure we have all heard about the sun rising into the galactic center. But all the claims about pole shift and superwaves etc etc and the preppers running into thier multi-million $ underground condos.

Veer, good article about the zero. I am a zero convert now. I should have known better when my daughter pointed out the importance of zero on Sesame Street. All hail the power of zero. Let it never reflect my intelligence or bank account balance.

I am gonna make a prediction that it will be a lot like the 20th, except its gonna be on a Friday, and I will have my weekend to look forward to. But, on a cautious note, I will have the shotgun and other items out...just in case. Not because of a cosmic, natural, or religous based event. Just in case the human factor wants to get frisky. Boy am I glad I dont do patrol work anymore.

LL's plan looks like a solid option.
But first, I plan to join my cronies at the VFW for some pre-apocalyptic libations. If I play my cards right, I may miss the main event entirely.
So; if I wake up on 12-22-12, did I play my cards wrong...? My guess, only if I'm still sober... No chance of that, eh?

Hardly an enlightened perspective. You think current status gives weight to the value of historical invention?
Greeks - furthered maths, philosophy, medicine amongst other things...
Arabs - did more than just define '0' also chemistry, calculus and geometry
Chinese - whole host of things...

IMHO, the Arabs did more following the fall of Rome to conserve and extend the collected knowledge of Mediterranean mankind than the average modern individual knows or is willing to accept. Like all societies, they were/are not perfect, but we live in a world whose affluence and influence are largely attributable directly to them.

Re: anyone think anything is gonna happen on 12-21-12?
The Persians invented roads, local governance, post office, chemistry etc before the Roman Empire. If you're refering however to the preservation of knowledge that would have otherwise been lost during the ensuing Dark Ages, then you're 100% correct. it wasn't until the Enlightenment in Florence that most of that knowledge was 'rediscovered' in Europe.
As an aside - It's widely held that what is now Baghdad was the source of the written word within a fully structured alphabet (as distinct from China's series of Kanji symbols). Alexander the Great took over much of the Persian Empires infrastructure as his own, with the shift of power away from Persepolis to Macedonia and thus the Romans were indirect beneficiaries from the transfer of knowledge that went with the power shift. They in turn took engineering, construction and material science to a whole new level in order to build aquaducts and man-made underground aquifers that didn't crumble under water (volcanic ash/sand etc in just the right combination. They've built structures with this mix that outlast most of today's cement). Little known but the Romans were also the first to understand how best to deal with deep lacerations and invented the techniques of deep stitching within the wound as well as on the surface.

Romans perfected indoor plumbing. Sadly it was done with lead pipes. Kind of explains the whole downfall of them.
LL's idea is solid, lotsa folks like to ring in the New Year that way. But isn't Frank a self inflicted baldie?

Lead was more than just an issue with their plumbing. Apparently, there were dietary issues as well in the preparation of defrutum and garum.
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Defrutum is mentioned in almost all Roman books dealing with cooking or household management. Pliny the Elder recommended that defrutum only be boiled at the time of the new moon, while Cato the Censor suggested that only the sweetest possible must should be used. Bronze, copper and lead kettles were known to have been in use.
Geochemist Jerome Nriagu published an article in the New England Journal of Medicine in 1983 hypothesizing that defrutum and sapa may have contained enough leached lead acetate to be of danger to those who consumed it regularly. A 2009 History Channel documentary produced a batch of historically-accurate defrutum in lead-lined vessels and tested the liquid, finding a lead level of 29,000 ppb, a staggering 2,900 times higher than the current US drinking water standards of 10 ppb. These levels are easily high enough to cause either acute lead toxicity if consumed at once in large amounts or chronic lead poisoning when consumed in smaller quantities over a longer period of time (as defrutum was typically used).
However, the use of leaden cookware, though popular, was not the general standard and copper cookware was used far more generally and there is also no indication how often sapa was added or in what quantity. John Scarborough, a pharmacologist and classicist, criticized the conclusions drawn by Nriagu's book as "so full of false evidence, miscitations, typographical errors, and a blatant flippancy regarding primary sources that the reader cannot trust the basic arguments."

Correct, but the spaniards brought the smallpox.
A little known fact: To my knowledge, the first use of biological warfare was carried out in America by giving tuberculosis infected to the indigenious population, who had no natural resistance. Decimated them.

Re: anyone think anything is gonna happen on 12-21-12?
So this generation has got the Mayans.
We had Nostradamus in the late 70's early 80's.
I can't see the end of the world happening. But just in case, I've re-read all the survival articals in Soldier of Fortune and Gung-Ho magazines.

The one thing that won't happen is the people who were so convinced something was going to happen on 12/21/12 won't admit that they were wrong. Nutjobs remain nutjobs and just move the goal posts.

That or working. As usual. Korean shopowners can fend for themselves.

I know exactly what you're talking about, and yea, don't mess with Korean shop keepers.
I must be old too.
