No the world will end when the Mayan Calander ends. And that is next year.

I think they already released this news so that insurance companies have an excuse to increase their life premiums or any other premium now for every policy beyond 2019.
BTW I'm sure the asteroid will miss earth just like on previous occasions (I can recall some scientist also predicting the end of the world when the asteroid missed earth).

L-188, can you explain a bit more about the Mayan calendar?
How would it end at all?
That's pretty abstract to me as I can't imagine how the Julian one would end.

I will personally go to space and deflect this killer asteroid back out to space with my own bare hands in 2019. Have no fear, Nightcruiser is here...to save you all.

Hey, I have good news.
On further review, it turns out the Mayan Calander ends in 2012. So we still have a decade of debachery left!!!
Don't waste it.

The Mayan Calender is the one that was in use in the Mayan Empire in the Meso-America.

The astronomers who discovered this asteroid have pointed out that further research on it's orbit will probably show it will miss Earth.....this time.
It was only discovered very recently.
The one that gets us we may well not see, until it's too late.
It won't be like the 'Armageddon' film that's for sure.
Not so outlandish to think it could happen, after all, in the 4 billion year history of Earth, how long have us highly developed Apes been walking around?
Less than 2 million years I think.
If that Comet impact 65 million years ago hadn't rapidly accelerated the Dinosaurs demise, we wouldn't be around now.

I would just like to add that IMHO *if* in fact the human race does not elinimate itself and in fact our ultimate demise is brought about by an asteroid chances are that we will not even see it coming. The asteroid will just sneak up on us and strike us when we least expect it. If could be tomorrow, next week, month.... Whenever.
Thats my morbid rant for now. Back to listenin' to ATC.

Nostradamus said the world wouldn't end until 3797. Not sure, however, if that includes human life.

ROFL, hehehehe! I just spat out a mouthful of cereal when I read that one. They way you wrote that implied that either you were a pilot or worked for ATC, and that only now would you go back to paying attention to work. That is some funny sh!t!!!
