Remember when the end of the world was predicted in 2012

Remember when the end of the world was predicted in December 2012....and we are all still here in July 2014 I bet some people feel a bit foolish now

I reckon those people will be looking for the next time it will end and say 2012 was a miscalculation. I'd bet money that said if you picked any particular date in the future you'd be able to get some events in the past, join them together and say the world is due to end on that date because of those particular events in the past.

Remember 9/11 and the Nostradamus theory, what was it, something like a star burning brightly at 55 degrees? The books flew off the shelf. Utter tosh.

I'm sure it's the fault of Muslims somewhere along the way ..

Its 2014 and depends which country you talking about. The UK has David Cameron as PM and USA has Barack Obama as president

The next end of the world is on 2032 when a huge asteroid will hit earth.

Can we be more specific? I'd like to know if I'm going to die in shorts and a T-shirt or my winter coat. Or perhaps I won't even bother getting dressed that day.

Meh! The millennium bug was far more exciting. I kind of enjoyed that one

Silly humanz laugh now hahahaha

Thing is if someone did properly predict the end of the world there'd be no one around for them to say "I told ya so".

I was well disappointed, I had £10 on the world to end at 500000/1

Yes - planes dropping out of the sky, ATM machines and computers not working, anything electronic with a built-in calendar giving up the ghost. Scaremongering at its finest!!!

EGS (Emergency Goalpost Shift) button is a must-have for the doom-mongers and naysayers.

Meanwhile, it's Armageddon in my living room as the dog has just farted....

...as in Armageddon out of here.

I was soooo disappointed but not at all surprised when I realised it was 5 minutes into the new millennium and the lights were still on

Keyser_Soze1 · 30/07/14 - 22:30

Just wait until the Rapture!

:D:D

I know, it was a bit of a let down really - I felt a bit cheated!!!

The Mayan calendar never actually predicted anything, it's exactly the same as our calendar ending on December 31st, it just starts again the next day.

Yeah, that was aaaaages ago.

At least I now know that everyone I know is consigned to the depths of hell for all eternity. And me too

Oh stop with all your fancy facts.

There are companies who you can pay to look after your pets incase of the Rapture. Wish I'd thought of that.

I stall have the basement full of tins of Spam, so I am set no matter when it is.
