2012-is it really the end?

[CIRQUEFREAK91]

The end of the world has been predicted by numerous people and groups, and despite all the recent docos and media coverage does anyone believe? note that 'the big bang' was another prophecy of an acopalypse..all the more bull. All this hype about 'the end' has made me hungry.. any thoughts.

We already had a thread on this so I doubt you'll get much of a discussion, the general consensus is that people who think the world is going to end in 2012 are silly.

Fixed for ya

The 13-metre (43-ft) high billy goat has been torched 24 times since it was first erected in Gavle in 1966. Theaion powerlevelgoat was set alight in the early hours of Wednesday morning in the city north of Stockholm. City spokeswoman Anna Ostman said the incident, which is being treated as serious vandalism, was "sad". "We had really hoped that he would survive Christmas and New Year's," she said. As well as being burnt, the goat has over the years faced other acts of vandalism including being run over by a car, having its legs removed and being smashed. BILLY GOAT'S ROUGH TREATMENT 1966: The first goat is burned down - beginning the tradition1970: It is set on fire six hours after being erected1971: Schoolchildren build a miniature; it is smashed to pieces1976: A car crashes into the goat1979: Goat is burned down before it is finished1987: Goat is treated with fire-proofing, but is still burned down2001: Tourist from Cleveland, Ohio is jailed for burning goat2005: Two men dressed as Santa and Gingerbread Man torch goat After some experimentation, power leveling aioncity officials decided not to spray the straw-covered wooden structure with fire-proofing chemicals as this discoloured the straw, making it "look like a brown terrier instead of a yellow straw goat" Ms Ostman said. The city's website offers a bilingual blog and Twitter feed, as well as webcams to allow fans to follow the beleaguered goat's fate. In one of its last entries, the goat writes: "Terrible night! Slept so well under my beautiful snow blanket, when it suddenly became awfully hot. It was fire!!! At 0300 someone managed to set me on fire and destroy the amazing Christmas spirit in Gavle." Just 10 of Gavle's goats, built in the town's central square, have survived beyond Christmas since 1966.aion power levelin Most have been burned, sometimes within hours of being erected in the first week of December. The culprits are seldom caught. However, a 51-year-old American tourist spent 18 days in jail after being convicted of setting it alight in December 2001.

I don't think it will be the end of the world . The mayas never said there was to be an apocalypse in 2012, their calendar just happen to end here.

Anyway, time will tell, don't you think?
