Best quote:
"You have to understand, there will be nothing, nothing left," Patrick Geryl told ABC News. "We will have to start an entire civilization from scratch." Geryl, a 53-year-old former laboratory worker who lives in Belgium, quit his job two years ago after he saved up enough money to last him until December 2012. He’s now stocking survival supplies, a list of which runs 11 pages long.

THANKS MAYANS or whoever it was

-
Someone should tell him that the Mayan calendar extends past 2012.
-

-
I am so gonna get laid before I die.
-
I want to talk to this guy and get the 11 pages from him. I bet there's something I'm drastically missing before I try to survive the apocolypse.

Metaphysical predictions
2012 is sometimes claimed to be a great year of spiritual transformation (or apocalypse). Many esoteric sources interpret the completion of the thirteenth B'ak'tun cycle in the Long Count of the Maya calendar (which occurs on December 21 by the most widely held correlation) to mean there will be a major change in world order.[who?]
Accordingly, several eclectic authors claim that a major, world-changing event will take place in 2012:
The 1997 book The Bible Code claims that, according to certain algorithms of the Bible code, an asteroid or comet will collide with the Earth.
The 2006 book 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl by Daniel Pinchbeck discusses theories of a possible global awakening to psychic connection by the year 2012, creating a noosphere.
Other prophecies and apocalyptic writings and hypotheses for this year include:
Terence McKenna's numerological novelty theory suggests a point of singularity in which humankind will go through a great shift in consciousness.
Sounds like someone watched Neon Genesis.

Picture of the guy who wrote that 2012 book. He's also wacked out on LSD and about everything else it says. Looks like a guy who is a professional authority on 2012.
-
This Terence McKenna guy was also whacked out on LSD, I'm beginning to see a connection.

I am so gonna get laid before I die.
Hey me too.
Two birds one stone?

You stopped short of the best part.
"Geryl is certainly not the only one. Searching for "2012 the end of the world" on Google brings up nearly 700,000 hits."
Fine journalism.
-
Good, lets get this gen over with.
-
if it means killing all blind liberals and conservative extremists, or better yet, a meteoric catastrophe to the whole entire world, then by all means.
-
I'd be 31 then. I certainly hope I'd already be dead.
-
I don't trust anyone over 30.

And I'm almost there :( I will become what I hate. Technically, I probably am something that I hate, but at least I'm not 30 on top of that. I am a terrible human being. Terrible.
I was listening to the Dead Kennedys today, spurred by the possible Rock Band 2 song list. I was like wooo, punk rock, this is awesome. And then I realized that Jello Biafra would probably murder me for being the total and complete sellout whore that I am. I wish there was some sort of volcano I could throw myself into, make the snap decision to jump and bathe in the several seconds of regret that would follow. It's the only way that I'd ever feel as ashamed and embarrassed as I should. And then at the last moment of mental agony, my body would be dissipated like a cloud by the lava. I also have this fantasy about going up a mountain and breaking my legs in a minor fall. Stranded in a remote location, alone, getting picked apart by crows as I sit there and wait to die. I wish it would happen right now.

We'll see WHO laughs last!

More than enough time for me. Seriously, if you knew the world would end in 4 years, those 4 years would be fucking balla.
