Larian Studios Forums General Chat Signs of the Apocalypse

if you ask me about the apocalypse....i'd say earth survived a lot longer then been said....it's really silly to put a date on the end of the world....and about politics.....how much use has it to discuss it on a forum.....I don't care about Bush at all....

the world is ending on decmeber 21st, 2012.

or so the mayans say.

I understand @ barta <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
Don't worry <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

8 more years 2 live....hahahaha i've seen too many dates expire too believe it...i don't believe in the end of the world anihow...

In Germany, we have an old song going like this :

"Am dreißigsten Mai ist der Weltuntergang ... wir leben nicnht mehr lang ..." (Jolly tune <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> )

The song says that the world is "going under" at Mai, 31st and that "we" (obviouslythe singer and the listeners <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> ) won't live very long anymore ... the song is in a very jolly mood, very merrily played ... obviously it's a fun song. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

no year??
happy songs about the end of the world.....we all gonna die....in 8 years.....that's the year i'm gonna get married.....but seriously though, who'd wan't to get married on the day that the world's supposedly coming to an end?
it'd be a very special day indeed...

"Honey, I love you more than anything in the world" will have another meaning without a world.

Maybe the Mayan calander ended on that day because all the Mayan calender carvers were killed befor they could carve anymore days... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />
Hey Faile, speaking of the Mayans, they had a special place for July 26. Would you happen to know the significance of this day for them? I have read that there is a pillar at the center of a huge plaza in one of their cities that is only 1 foot high and casts no shadow at noon on that day. I can't remember where it was, but when reading about it, I thought it would be really cool to set a perfect crystal there on on July 26 just to see what would happen... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" /> (Mslynx, hoping it wouldn't be a big, "Wooopsie! Did I do that?")

well, the world doesn't exactly end, there's just some huge change that will take place and life as we know it will end. i think. i'm no expert.

july 26th seems to be the egyptian new year from what i can find on the internet. there are some scholars that think egyptians may have been to the americas long long long before columbus. (try searching for info on the olmec heads, or similarities in egyptian and mexican pyramids. there are some crazy architectural and astrological similarities.)

now i read that the mayan new year is also july 21st. here is an excerpt (but the website did not seem entirely credible):




i found this on a random forum:
http://www.tortuga.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard.pl?s=401c88970843ffff;act=ST;f=1;t=381




i'm assuming that the pillar is there just to mark the day, probably served some purpose in ceremonies.
hope this helped. i love history. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

now again a bit <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/offtopic.gif" alt="" />

@ NeroJB and at all friends of Lucretia:

I recently got a message by her and she told me that she couldn´t understand the word "giggle" Nero wrote at the end of his joke. She even thought this would mean something insulting.

In Germany there is a musician. He calls himseld "DJ Bobo". However, an article in a newspaper said that this was also a japanese word for ... female parts of the body ... there fore he has problems there being recognised ... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />

@Alrik: DJ Bobo is from Switzerland <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shhh.gif" alt="" />

well if the world as we know it actually will end....i'd be totally annoyed....it'd be like almost anyting you have done in your life is totally useless (school etc. )

But if the world doesn't end, does it have a use?

What's the meaning of life, kabuti?
What is the point in living if we'll die at the end anyway?

Just asking. Not trying to depress anyone <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />.

life itself has no particular use...we live.... we die.....not that that really matters....as long as your happy with what you have done in your life...still it doesn't has a use....oh and it's not depressing actually....it's fun....it makes you take life a li'll less serious..

Good answer <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/freak.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />


Ah, but can you take life seriously with all the nonesence going arround? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />


(I hope no one here would commit a suicide because what I write <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />)

if you don't take life at least a l'ill bit serious....what's the point of living?? And with all the nonsens going on around you can't be too serious...but you can be a bit.....

But even if you take life seriously, what's the point of living? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/badsmile2.gif" alt="" />

why take life seriously??? i don't get that...it takes the fun out of living...

If someone would point a gun at me I wouldn't laugh him in the face <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Never hurts to be a bit serious somethimes..
