... in NZ. Nothing seems to have happened.
Just i case it does, what song d'you want to rock out, to?
Mine:
No unpleasantness to New Zealand intended, but I'll only start to relax when sunrise reaches significant countries... 😉
Oh, my song choice would be... ZZ Top, La Grange.
No armageddon reference, but damn it's a cool tune.

Anyone got any doom-fearing mates, and a large PA system? Maybe some lighting equipment?
Before my alarm goes off, good, I'll be asleep. Although, its not instant:
[i][b]End of the World, 2012–2032[/b]
The Chilam Balam states: 'This is a time of total collapse where everything is lost. It is the time of the judgment of God. There will be epidemics and plagues and then famine. Governments will be lost to foreigners; wise men, and prophets will be lost.'
The katuns have a number of prophecies relating to the 'end of the world,' which comes at the completion of the Great Cycles. A katun lasts for 20 years, so a katun prediction covers the entire 20-year period.
The katuns refer to this time as the final days of misfortune at the end of the Long Count calendar. They predict earth changes in the form of storms, earthquakes, famine, and pestilence. In this time people lose confidence in religion, priests, government, and officials. In fact even the omens that connect the Maya to the gods are questioned. The omens themselves are said to be broken by the dishonor prevalent in the times.
In The Book of the Jaguar Priest, Maud Worcester Makemson translates from the Chilam Balam the actual events of the end times. From the sound of it, the Sacred Tree of Life itself falls. The days turn upside down, stones fall from the sky, and fire consumes everything. Many think this description sounds a lot like a massive super volcano and a magnetic pole shift where the earth actually turns onto a new axis. The description of the Sacred Tree of Life falling might describe the Milky Way changing position in the sky.
After speaking of great destruction and disillusionment, the Chilam Balam ends by saying, 'These are the words which must be spoken: the prophecies are a solemn trust from ancient times. They are the first news of events and a valuable warning of things to come.'[/i]
Aprt from the fire and stones I'd say the confidence in religion and politics has already gone and apparantly this Mayan period could have been warming up since 1993. Hold on, when did Thatcher step down...?
The end is nigh.
stuff it im gonna run through the office naked, it wont matter on monday
[i]It's already the 21st...[/i]
Its not the end of the 21st though is it? Bit more research required from you.
Can't feel the world spinning off it's axis just yet Mr Woppit, so perhaps we'll feel it laters..
As for a Song..

Should I risk blowing it all on a bike, safe in the knowlege that if bills dont get paid, it won't matter?
The way the rain is up here we are all going to have to evacuate to a boat.
Hmmmm. My song thingy would have to be: Over the rainbow by Iz Kamakaweewo.

Isn't the date only relevant in Mexico some where?

Do I have to put back all that money that's "just resting" in my account if the world doesn't end??
" quickly calculates interest accrued"
Does that mean the big hitter's mega ban is over and they're all welcomed back? Armageddon indeed
