END OF THE WORLD POSTPONED

endofworld_postponed

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.”

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.”

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!!!

    When you predicted for years that the world would end on an EXACT DATE based on the science of an ancient civilization, I don’t think that you get a do-over when it’s wrong…

    I'm sorry, but if these mayan scholars were off by 3 years the first time, then I highly doubt that this new doomsday "prediction" is very trustworthy.

      The Mayan scholars weren't off, the people who converted it to our Gregorian calendar were wrong. Looks like we have to go through another day where everyone freaks out.

  19. Don says:

    No need believe about things like this lah . Who cares about mayan or end of the world . Enjoy the world lah !

  20. James says:

    The world already ended, we are all dead. This is what death is. It continues

    Do these people know that it's getting like soo annoying telling people when the world is ending ? Now using a 'mistake' in the Mayan calendar to keep this theory going on. Wow. I know people may not believe the same as me but MY opinion is that the world ends when GOD is ready for you to go. I believe that he created humans and the world and NO ONE or ANYTHING can tell him when HIS world will end. Yes , the world that HE created. In the Bible it says that NO ONE can predict when the world will end because Jesus can come on Judgement Day like a thief in the night. To tell the truth , In 2012 I was so scared of the world actually ending believe the media of course , becauseit was like one of the most talked about topics. And when the world DIDNT end , it was like the news never said anything in the first place. They need to get a real life and discuss ACTUAL REAL LIFE THINGS HAPPENING AROUND THE WORLD & Stop Actin like they can predict the future. Even NASA didnt believe the 2012 shananagans. Don't believe me ? Go to the websit with REAL facts. Everyone enjoy their day :)

  22. More stupid that we can comprehend.If we wait for the end we will waste our time.

  23. Nunez has never even been close to a league average offensive player with wOBA’s of .305, .306 and .312 the last 3 years so I’m not sure why you think he added so much offensively.
