Mother Earth - she's still alive! The title of the video is misleading. It doesn't hold the impact of the message one is about to see.

In spite of all the things we humans have been doing to try and kill her off.  Careful though, we may yet succeed.

[grannio204]

We've got enough man-made devices to kill her off a bunch of times.

Then, there's the nature-made things that threaten her. Things like volcanoes, floods from melting ice, continental drift, etc.

In the Grand Scope of Things, the latter will take a few million years. The former ... ???

My doctor says that if I keep eating Oreos, my world may end sooner than later.

Calamity cancelled  because of lack of interest!

I actually got my "you're hired!" phone call on Dec 20. :-x

I wonder if these doomsday prophets are at all like sports fans...When their deadline (pardon the pun) comes & goes without the hoped for outcome do they shake their fists at the heavens & shout "Wait 'til next year!" ??:|

Hey man, I think about these things...

[bb_cool_stuff]

Yes !!!

As a life long Blue Bomber fan, i've been saying "Wait Til Next Year" since 1990, the last time Winnipeg won the Grey Cup.

[puckstopshere]

As a life long Blue Bomber fan,

Consider yourself fortunate that you are not a Maple Leafs fan.

[grannio204]

Arrgh - I'm a fan of both the Bombers and the Leafs 😞

[cumos55]

Give up on North American teams....

Manchester United..... could be better if it were not for Rooney.....

Manchester who you say!

Hockey is dead... Football collapsed in a heap

Grew up in Winnipeg.....Bombers were great with Jonas as the quarterback...

moved to Edmonton and it was Wilkinson and Lemmerman.. with Cutler  who gave the boot.

Ottawa for two years  and back to Winnipeg in 1980

Then came the children  and it was Manchester United.....The children were not going to play hackey...

Oldest son played soccer until age 15.

Second son and daughter  took up gymnastics.

No hackey....

1984... with George Orwell...  another scary year..

2000  ... computers were supposed to die... mainly because people forgot to program the date post 2000...

December 21, 2012...

Fortunately calendars cannot read.... Doomsday only works if everyone is invited  and everyone comes to the party.

One can only suspect that the Mayans ran out of calendar space  and ended everything on December 21..... 

Or could it be that the new calendar starts all over at day one of the Mayan calendar.

And if the Mayans predicted calamity on December 21...  why were they not posting here to confirm their prediction

[cumos55]

The Mayans predicted December 21, 2012 ... but were well gone  long, long time ago.......

Did they predict their own disappearance?

[puckstopshere]

The Mayans predicted December 21, 2012 ... but were well gone  long, long time ago.......

Did they predict their own disappearance?

Not gone!  As a major civilization, they no longer exist, butt their ancestors still live in South America.  Many have been absorbed into the general population, but some carry on some of the older traditions.

Any time soon, they will be marching on their government to try and get their ancestral lands back.

[cumos55]

 As a major civilization, they no longer exist...

Why... What happened?

Or ... Were they too far ahead of everyone else.

Or  ... Were they unwilling to share

Perhaps ....we will never know.....

Maybe the Mayans never predicted the end.

We assume that the end of the Mayan calendar was the end of all of us.

Or .. Do we  see what we want to see and ignore that which does not agree with the analysis....

Selective analysis...

Selective ignorance...

Evidently someone failed to take everything into consideration with such an absolute prediction...

Maybe now we will find out . more of what was ignored to predict  the end....
