The Mayan Prophesy - End of the World

For the few of you who aren't too familiar with our modern interpretation of the Mayan calendar, this is how it goes:

The Mayans predict that in just a few days the world will end, and we'll all be dead.Your swag won't save you.

Forgive... forgive... and forgive...

As we mentally prepare for the world to end (or not!), many of us are starting to build up grudges towards the Mayans. I mean, come on, if it wasn't for them writing their silly calendars on the rocks, the world would be just fine. So what's your grudge?

If these Mayans are right and the world ends before I go to Punta Cana, I am going to hold a serious grudge in the after life #dreamvacation

If the world ends on the 21st, I will hunt down the Mayans in the afterlife. Tweet @marijhaa to join the afterlife army!

...And do not waist time you don't have.

If the Mayans are right, I'm gonna be really mad I did my sit-ups this week.

Equally, don't leave things for the last minute. Just remember, whatever the ideas you have you are not the only one! If you leave things for the last minute and the world doesn't come to an end, you will have crowds of people to compete against to accomplish your last minute chores.

If the world doesn't end in 4 days, I'm gonna have a ton of XMAS shopping to do. #mayans

The last few days and decisions to make

The first dilemma is about the finance. So you have been saving all of your life, right? And if the world was to end in just a few days you would have slogged all your life for nothing. Yet if you do spend all of your savings and the Mayans were wrong, the world doesn't end, an overwhelming feeling of regret will finish you off instead. So what do you do? How do you solve the dilemma? Here's what you should ask yourself.

What percentage of my savings do you think is an appropriate amount to splurge in the next few days just *in case* the Mayans are right?

Then, of course, you have to do all of the following...

Only 4 more days to fall in love, get married, and become famous. Wish me luck, Mayans.

Afterlife

Should the world end have you thought about what will happen to you?

Can't wait to party in hell this Saturday, I believe in the Mayans' ideologies

Stop the Mayans!

There have been several interesting attempts to stop the Mayan Gods from proceeding with doomsday. The famous one (probably because it's a TV commercial) is a Jell-O pudding offering. However, while some folks are sitting on their asses waiting for the world to end, others are actually doing something for the Mayans in hope of saving our entire civilization! Thank you Mike!

This is not the last Monday, I hooked the Mayans up with some hydro, little Debbie snack cakes, and cable. You're welcome.

The end of the world - bad planning

Here's why the end of the world will not take place. Bad planning. Anything that is badly planned have less chances of proceeding to completion.

This end-of-the-world thing doesn't seem very well planned. Did the Mayans even CONSIDER time zones? HOW IS THIS GOING TO WORK?

— Andreea Hluscu.(@andreeahluscu) December 17, 2012

It's a good question whether the Mayans took other considerations on board.

I wonder if the Mayans remembered this was a leap year..........

— Dayton Ward (@daytonward) December 17, 2012

In fact, can you trust them all together?

Its weird how the mayans predicted world war one, the rise of hitler and now the end of the world

— Frodo Baggins(@karl_barker) December 17, 2012

Anybody gonna mention the fact that the Mayans couldn't even predict the Spanish coming?

Looking forward to a better future?

Many of us have reason to believe the world will not end, not just yet. So don't be worried and get ready for the future!

Worried about the 21st? Don't be. The Mayans cancelled the end of the world gig once Retox Magazine formed. Thought you knew.

Assuming the Mayans are wrong, we'll soon be hiring half-time marketing manager: rfld.me/Rrpy8p

If the #World doesn't End on 21st December 2012, there will be a lot of Babies Born on September 2013 :p

The real doomsday

And last but not least, are you sure you know what the Mayans meant by doomsday?

I bet on December 21st the amount of tweets about the world ending will make twitter crash and that's what the Mayans meant by 'doomsday'
