100 virtual $ for anyone that can guess my twitter name,
a clue:
I named it not long after a very famous person died last year, but a long long time before said persons skeletons where found in his closet.

Seems fine for me this morning.

facebook is resurrected. End of World postponed. Please feel free to submit prayers of thanks to your favourite god - whoever that might be.

The book of photos of drowned dogs being rescued from a burning building by a marine paratrooper paramedic police man, whilst a small clearly malnourished and abused child clings to his back has returned...

Only to remind us we're all heartless nazi bastards who will die and rot in hell for the rest of our days as today is 12/12/12 and the world will end because some person only counted to 5000 and a bit when writing out numbers by chiselling them into a rock and we didn't like their picture of a drowned dog being rescued from a burning building by a marine paratrooper paramedic police man, whilst a small clearly malnourished and abused child clings to his back.

It's okay though, because I posted a comment calling them a twat, so I got a 1000 salutes at least.

Seems the idiots who got the idea that the world would end got the whole Mayan calendar wrong. It doesn't end, it just wraps around and starts again.

This is not the first time that stupid people have made lots of money from gullible ones

Yes the Mayan has an even lager numbered period of time which I forgot the name of, I don't think it wraps around but several of the periods
(type the one ending 121221)fits in a larger period.

Quote from:  Dates beyond b'ak'tun 13  Mayan inscriptions occasionally mention predicted future events or commemorations that would occur on dates far beyond the completion of the 13th b'ak'tun. Most of these are in the form of "distance dates"; Long Count dates together with an additional number, known as a Distance Number, which when added to them makes a future date. On the west panel at the Temple of Inscriptions in Palenque, a section of text projects forward to the 80th 52-year Calendar Round from the coronation of the ruler K'inich Janaab' Pakal. Pakal's accession occurred on 9.9.2.4.8, equivalent to 27 July 615 AD in the proleptic Gregorian calendar. The inscription begins with Pakal's birthdate of 9.8.9.13.0 (24 March, 603 AD Gregorian) and then adds the Distance Number 10.11.10.5.8 to it,[45] arriving at a date of 21 October 4772 AD, more than 4,000 years after Pakal's time.[28][45][46]  Another example is Stela 1 at Coba which marks the date of creation as 13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.0.0.0.0, or nineteen units above the b'ak'tun. According to Linda Schele, these 13s represent "the starting point of a huge odometer of time", with each acting as a zero and resetting to 1 as the numbers increase.[29][Note c] Thus this inscription anticipates the current universe lasting at least 2021×13×360 days,[47] or roughly 2.687×1028 years; a time span equal to 2 quintillion times the age of the universe as determined by cosmologists. Others have suggested, however, that this date marks creation as having occurred after that time span.[47][48]  In 2012, researchers announced the discovery of a series of Mayan astronomical tables in Xultún, Guatemala which plot the movements of the Moon and other astronomical bodies over the course of 17 b'ak'tuns.Dates beyond b'ak'tun 13
