Repent your sins quickly, less than a dozen days to go!! Mind you I'm not sure which time zone it's in, I guess we'll be the first to go.....

Mind you it's not the first time:-

So......

if the world is going to end on December 21 Laughing Rolling Eyes will it end time zone by time zone at midnight?

What happens if you are on a jet between time zones- will you miss the end? Laughing

If you are standing exactly on the North or South Pole? Laughing When is it midnight there???? Laughing

With the end so close I was going to order up a few FAST bikes for some road fun.

Won't have to worry about paying for speeding tickets or repaying the bike loans. Right??


Those Mayans couldn't have counted wrong? I want to see their calculations. Laughing

We U.S.ers are in double jeopardy. If the Mayans don't get us 12-21-12, politicians will push us off a cliff 1-1-13.

Well the Mayans didn't have leap year, so the date of their calculations actually occurred 9 months ago. This is like the sixth sense, we are all gone.
