These guys just wont give up, will they?
"YUCATAN – Mayan scholars have updated their doomsday prophecy. The world will end in 2015, not 2012.Oops…. They made a mistake. There’s good news for those who were fearing the 2012 Mayan apocalypse. They counted wrong. The world is not going to end in December 2012. Instead, it’s going to end on September 3, 2015. Update your daily planners!
A new critique, published as a chapter in the new textbook “Calendars and Years: Astronomy and Time in the Ancient and Medieval World†argues that the accepted conversions of dates from Mayan to the modern calendar are off. This coupled with a new book, “We Are All Going To Die In 2015″ by Fritz Barnkopf are rewriting the Mayan doomsday playbook that has been popularized in our culture over the last ten years.
The problem was discovered when researchers realized the Mayan calendar was converted to today’s Gregorian calendar using an erroneous calculation called the GMT constant, named for the last initials of three early Mayanist researchers.
But the GMT constant is completely bogus. “The Mayan researchers of the past twenty years put too much stock in the GMT,†said Mayan expert Robert Wannamaker. “They probably were chewing on too many cocoa leaves. The fact is that the GMT constant is 2 years and 271 days off. We’ve proven that conclusively hear at The Scripps Institute.â€ÂÂ
The apocalypse is now delayed. This is a stunning blow to all the merchandisers that were seeking to capitalize on the “end-of-world†prophecy BEFORE the world ends. “Man, I was selling all sorts of 2012 doomsday paraphernalia. Now, I gotta go back and make it all again for 2015. It’s a real drag,†said 2012 fanatic, Judd Barkley.
Hollywood is jumping right on the 2015 bandwagon. Producers are lining up to make the 2012 sequel, 2015. “It’s great for us,†said Producer Tracey Barnham. “I hope that they extended it again in a few years, so we can keep this franchise going.â€ÂÂ
Not likely. Mayan researchers are unanimous on the end-of-world data. The world will disappear in 2015. You might want to plan accordingly.
Bad news: we’re all going to die. Good news: We got three more years! Woo-hoo!!!"

The only thing that will end our world is us ourselves, either by a nuclear war or by the global warming.

The world is sure to 'end' in the next five billion years but my guess is it will take less than a thousand years :)
-
Few Mayans trolled billions. Respect+++
-
That mayans sound like a bunch of dick head emo's who just want the world to end, thats my honest analysis. :poke:

Well according to the 'old' calendar as used in the Orthodox faith, the 21st of December is what we now call 3rd of January 2013. So that is the first option to celebrate the end of the world.... :alc:

What?.. :trust:

Calm it, you two.
While some like drinking a lot (some to the point where they throw up), others prefer lighter drinking. What matters is that you enjoy the drinks and whatever comes with it.

It was never postponed as it wasn't going to happen on the 21st.
-
Probably worth pointing out in the OP that the article appears to be from a parody site.
Doesn't make the whole "end of the world" thing any more of a joke though. A sad one at that.
-
rescheduled for 3rd September 2015
-
Someone please slap these conspiracy theorists until they stop talking garbage.
-
True fact: The real 'End of the word' (Not human race) will be in about 4-5billion years when our sun explodes.

At least they can rule out the Muslims this time since the Muslim belief (as stated earlier in the other topic) is that the world will end on a Friday. Perhaps they should've planned it a little better. (Sep 3, 2015 is Tuesday)
