Mr. Middle said: 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

agreed. my friend has a theory that the only thing catastrophic thats going to happen is every one getting so worked up about the end of the world they start rioting and looting.

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

The question is:
Who else predicted the same events.
How many religions base off a great flood, etc.
It's but a forewarning of natural phenomena.
