I gotta plan all that "end of the world as we know it" stuff again?

It's true that it's a rumour, but I may be wrong.

The end of the world was rescheduled. It was April 13 (or 15th). When it didn't end it was rescheduled to happen Oct 13/15th. We have about 6 weeks left. :(

The world ended a few weeks ago. You're just dreaming this.

Which 2012, all the calenders were realigned a few centuraies ago, so we might be still in 1996 or we could be in 2015.... :)

? if you mean the Julian vs Gregorian , then the difference was days not years. When the Julian (named after Caesar) was created it had 365 days a year and a leap year every 4 years. The issue, there are just under 365.25 days in a year. At the time of Pope Gregory XIII they realised that things where not falling (spring) when it should, so the great minds at the time moved the days back a few days (so that things fall where they should) and added the new rule that every centurial year (i.e. ...1800,1900,2000,2100...) has to be divisible by 400 to be a leap year. So 1900 was not a leap year and 2100 won't be one (assuming the world is still around) but 2000 was one.

right now there is exactly 13 days difference between the two.

if you mean different ethnic calendars (i.e. Chinese ..... vs common/Gregorian) then yes they can even have millennia differences, but that is irrelevant since the idea comes from the Mayan calendars numbering system and how it pertains to the Common Calendar (don't know if it was ever applied to the Julian) and idiots (i.e. the actual calendar does not stop at that point.)

Doesn't sound right to me. If Julius was in charge of the arrangement, it should have been the Julius calendar. No?

I guess that Pope Greg was the Grand Poobah back then so he got the credit?

Probably all Friday's too! But then again, maybe they are Monday's and won't really be missed.....

Ah...

Will I wake up? Do I go into the light? Will the falling sensation ever cease?

Prediction:

The world as we know it will come to an end. Obama will be in the last days of his presidency, and people will look forward to finding a job so they can start paying off the massive debt accumulated by this guy.

Either that, or aliens will land in their spaceships and steal all of our toilet paper.
I'm just a sheep in wolf's clothing...
