Most of the Mayan predictions for our time are strictly astronomical.

The have correctly predicted Eclipses and transits of Venus in texts like the Dresden Codex.

Many "scientific" sources have claimed the Dresden codex is out of sync,
but John Major Jenkin's works have shown that it actually is, when calibrated correctly.

I understand why the skeptics are so cynical about Mayan prophecy though, there sure is a lot of BS out there.

Watch out for Dr. Jose Arguelles, he's full of it and just trying to sell books, like most 2012ers...

But the fact remains that the Mayans had at least 17 different synchronized calendars and their astronomy was very advanced for their time...

i think this sums it up rather nicely

that's what I'm saying...i think that was all BS perpetrated by the media for $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$, and perhaps a little bit of fear and

but that doesn't change the fact that the mayans were very good with astronomy

yeah, i'm definitely gonna stay home when that time comes. There is no involved in predicting that there might be real dangers like that; better safe than sorry

hmm with all these natural disasters and the bp oil spill, this could be true. just think about it... if 60,000 barrels of oil is spewing out of the oil EVERY day going straight into our oceans... what does that affect? marine life! and what eats marine life? birds... and we eat birds... also birds drop seeds which allows plants to grow in different areas. then what eats the plants? and so on... and also, BP ARE FUCKING IDIOTS!!! one of the substances they are using to try n clean there fuck up with causes red blood cells to pop and causes marine life to bleed... cheers bp for fucking up my fishing and swimming!

a shitload of birds do, if the ocean becomes stagnant were fucked... if theres a nice coating of oil were fucked... the "ocean" evaporates... what if oil could somehow evaporate into the clouds.... there just too may possibilities to explain


what kind of birds are you eating that eat marine life?

i figure i mostly eat chickens and turkeys.. in the way of birds.
and cows, which eat grass and grains. and pigs sometimes, which will just about any fuckin thing.

and i think birds eat bugs. unless we're talkinga bout pelicans because i think they eat fish. and birds of prey too, but i think they eat other birds as well.

i don't foresee the end of the world because of the oil spill
