Everybody of us has his own "sacred mountain". The Slovenians have the Triglav, which they all must ascend once in their lives. Mine is the Jof Fuart, in the Alpi Giulie, where I fell in love with a girl and lost some of my friends in difficult winter climbs.

Hmm,
The only kind of mountain i know of that bursts open is a volcano and i consider it best practice for a long life to be on another continent when it happens . . .

Could have an effect on the Christmas shopping trade? No point in spending out
on pressies if all is going to be blown apart before any of it gets unwrapped
on the 25th. After this 2012 scare is over then what is the next apocalypse
on the agenda to have to put up with.

Some freak will come out with a new date I'm sure, and then he will roam the streets with a sign around his neck...:)

I think in Florida you have three days to change your mind on a car purchase, so go out on the 19th of December and buy that Mercedes or BMW you've always wanted and then when you wake up on the 22nd and realize we are still all here take it back and say you changed your mind.

He ha, He he.

The Pope says the calander is wrong, Jesus born before 1 AD so in effect 2012 has already happened.

Therefore the world did not end.

Jesus was born years earlier than thought, claims Pope
"The calculation of the beginning of our calendar – based on the birth of Jesus – was made by Dionysius Exiguus, who made a mistake in his calculations by several years," the Pope writes in the book, which went on sale around the world with an initial print run of a million copies.

"The actual date of Jesus's birth was several years before.


P.S. for Chris and Sirius, this story is also in the Mail.

They haven't Julie because they are religious fanatics, where their beliefs transcend anything else. It doesn't bother them wearing silly placards in public, they see it as their solemn duty to educate the rest of the world. I would guess that photograph probably dates back to the 40's or 50's, you don't see them quite so much these days. I suppose the JW's are the nearest thing to it.

I think the question to be asked is WHY do people WANT to believe in the end of the world? 2012 hysteria has been whipped up by the media wanting to sell newspapers, authors wanting to sell books, and the worlds nutcases playing to the gallery. It amuses the rest of us so I suppose its all a win/win situation really. The funniest part is yet to come when they get asked to explain afterwards why nothing happened!



Then we get the 'Oops' scenario...:)

You have a point there, Chris. I've always learned to take the Bible figuratively. Although I do believe in God, one thing I really disapprove is that whole charade of 'the Church' and its 'representatives'.
