CustardTrout: Now, does anyone have several billion dollars and a workforce large enough to build a functioning space station in a bit less than three years?

Me

Therefore, I have rights to make decisions. And don't forget I'll be an on-board AI as well. And I say: NUKE EM' TO THE STONE AGE!

JudasIscariot: How will we destroy the Earth then? Nuclear strikes ?

Exactly. Take off and nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

Fluofish: The number 2012 is in fact a command code that aborts all active processes in any piece of software programmed after 1981.
So if you happen to be on a plane on dec 31 2011, better hope its running on a commodore.

Shadowdragoon: Or, that the programmer have been smart enough to keep day/month/year data long away from the part of code that deal whit termination, (like have them as separate applications)

sssh you a ruining my own little doomcult hoax
No.
I've already booked a spaceship to another world with a few old pals of mine, they need me along to drive the Thundertank of course.
Just hope there isn't some sort of crazy mummy-monster when we get there... what are the chances eh?
The only thing that will happen in 2012 is that Duke Nukem Forever will be officially cancelled :)
Actually, I believe that the world will end on 12/21/12--- at least for the little subworld my family inhabits.
(As Terry Pratchett says, all myths are true, for a given value of "True".)
It will be my oldest child's 13th birthday. *chuckle* Bring on the teen years!

Weclock: it's the end of the beginning, the beginning of the end.
the problem with stories, is that it's so easy for writers to switch from beginning to end and ignore the middle, or make a really crappy one.
At what point has existence reached the middle? the beginning of the end?
If you're not first you're last, if you're not in the first sentence, you're part of the ending?

We won't really know until it all ends, now will we? :P

What I was saying, was, that at what point does one stop living and start dying? are we all living in a perpetual decay? slowly reverting to nothing?
I'm just trying to get people to explore these thoughts within themselves... not that they probably haven't already, just that it's nice to write on the topic sometimes, and this seemed like an appropriate thread..
