Found this on another site, just curious if anyone happens to know if this person is correct.
 

 
It's all phoney baloney to me. TBH!     

So.....
I missed doomsday because of a calander accounting error?

never forget about the decimal!

I saw this too and immediate lawled thinking about that show called like "Doomsday preppers" or something like that. These people have their families put sacks of gear on and go through obstacle courses and learn how to shoot with all their stuff on. silly people.

Yeah, when I seen a commercial for this show I laughed so hard I sprayed coffee out my nose.. Burn like the dickens and I thought it was Armageddon.. 

Apropos to nothing (because the whole "Mayan calendar predicts the end of the world" thing is rather a huge misunderstanding of their calendar - it's basically nothing more than a rollover date like our December 31 -> Jan 1 rolls over one year to the next)...
 
...that's not exactly a relevant argument, as the entire idea of 'leap years' is an artifact of the Gregorian calendar system.  IE., there is nothing to 'account for' when looking at another calendar system, as they won't have that problem, or have the problem but deal with it in different ways.  For example, the Hebrew calendar has an entire 'leap month' that shows up every now and then.

Oh man I feel so much better now, I was so worried before you know?  I'm really the worrying type and highly superstitious.  /completesarcasm

lol seen it

mayans actualy use planetery alighment and solar cycles to predict their years....
around jan 2013 solar activity is due to hit its max
 
so it actualy adds up there is no proof that mayans didnt account for leap year since they were obessed with planetery alignment, they wouldve most definetly noticed the leap year offset
 

What am i gonna do with all my ammo?

I don't think our calendar has anything to do with it.  From what I understand, it has all been adjusted so the day the Mayans predicted the world will end falls in our calendar on Dec. 21st 2012 which is also the winter solstice.  We will see soon enough...........

The day the world ends is the day when Jar Jar and his Zombie Ewoks and Zombie Gungans decide to take over the world. Maybe I should stock up on ammo...just in case!

A certain Someone said that no man will know the day nor the hour...

That's funny!

Unfortunately, depending on which prophet, messiah, whack job etc you follow or choose not to follow.  We should have all been doomed numerous times over.  Me, I'm not going to worry about doomsday until it actually happens and I want a dang nice front row seat to watch it all too!

Thats a great list. I love how many there are for 2000.
 
Im rooting for 500,000,000.

As has been mentioned above, but to say in a different way. The Mayans had no concept of January, February, etc. They measured time by cycles of the sun, and planets. There is no change in the calculations of planetary alignment predicted (amazingly) by the Mayans. But we have artificially assigned our calendar to their predictions. So when Europeans assigned the date of alignment to the Mayan prediction, we came up with the date listed. So there is no missed armageddon.
But as was also said, the calendar did not predict an end of times. It simply ended at a major cycle of planetary alignment. It is kind of like running out of checks in the check book. The world won't end,,,,,,,,, OK, so maybe it will for some people.
