Here we go again. I do not know if this story is waiting began the year zero - perhaps the scoundrels existed 2011 years ago - or if anyone was expecting some catastrophe at the stroke of midnight on 31 December of a BC. But who cares? The counting of the years did not exist as we know it today, was the Jewish calendar year and no one expected zero. So this story started from the year 999 AD when many toothless old man with long beard, dressed in muddy rags were wandering the streets proclaiming the end of the world. I can not imagine the confusion that could cause such a prophecy in this dark time. Some documents in my possession (I've inherited from my family that seems to keep them since) report a case of a cardinal who took the terror and dismay to the approach of the Last Judgement, a long rod confession in Latin, sealed with wax and entrusted it to a caravan in Rome with orders to deliver the envelope directly to Pope. A few days later, on the evening of December 31, the Cardinal took a powerful sleeping potion to avoid having to attend the end of the world. The wretched woke on January 2nd of the year one thousand, when now the pope knew that this servant of God was in fact only himself, extorting money in exchange for indulgences and frequenting brothels in disguise the best available in Italy. These things happen.
However, years passed and then the centuries and it came a year di grazia 1999. C'e sempre questo 999 che ricorre: la mano di Satana che gira i sei al contrario, oppure soltanto la normale successione delle cifre arabe. Resta il fatto che ci rifummo! Non c'era tanto la paura della fine del mondo, ma il terrore (per alcuni ben più spaventoso del giudizio universale) per un possibile black-out globale o per qualcosa come un collasso dei sistemi informatici di tutto il globo: il famigerato millenium bug. In molti infatti pensavano che allo scoccare dell'ora fatidica i calendari dei computer sarebbero tornati indietro di mille o duemila anni, che i datari elettronici non avrebbero capito che 1/01/00 significava primo gennaio duemila. Le banche avrebbero convertito le nostre lire e i nostri dollari in talleri o in sesterzi – it all depended on how the computer would interpret that double zero, some even feared having to see their money processed into flour. But nothing happened like that. Some also pointed to more than a century did not end on December 31 of 1999, but on December 31, 2000, then waned slowly and silently interest in that remarkable shot of figures over the date and the end of the century.
Only hicks, yokels in the year zero, year one thousand peasants, peasants in the year two thousand. I, indeed, these years were elected respectively as the "year of the baker", "Year of the miller" and "Year of the grandmother." My grandmother always makes the cakes with flour, and double zero are very good.
But here we go again, finally. According to the latest full-catastrophe, which has just started this is the last full year of 2012 because we have left, like the rest of the world will end on December 21 or so. It's amazing how lucky we are, is not given to everyone to attend two disasters in 12 years! What will happen and why? Pututo From what I understand, it's all because of Maya. Their calendar just ends in 2012 and, given that the Maya had a deep knowledge of astronomical cycles and movements of the planets, is supposed to provide for the end of the world as we know it. Try telling that you do not believe. They'll tell you that there will be exactly the real end of the world, but that will happen only the upheavals of global scope that will forever change the face of the planet. Why is the planet X is coming, so we will reverse the earth's magnetism, and then this planet X will align with the earth, with the center of the galaxy and the Sun, one thing that almost never happens, e. ..
"It makes a train?"
No, big cocks and will be bitter for all. You'll see.
We'll see.
How then can you do to address such a catastrophe, and so well-argued announced? I found some roads that you can take.
ONE: write books, TV shows, making films and documentaries, conferences, sell it all, collect the generous offerings of the people we duped and scared and just open an account in Switzerland (it seems that the Mayans had predicted that Switzerland would eventually be spared from the end of the world).
TWO: Farsi terrorize by rogues in a suit and tie just because they speak a language unintelligible to us, but fascinating, buy their books and DVDs, sign up for Scientology, be the basis of canned beans, water, flashlights, gas and close to the cellar, begin to worship deities Mayan calendar in front of a round stone. If you do not have a basement concrete you just have to buy a coffin and leave your belongings (the data for the transfer can be found at the bottom of this article).
THIRD: Documentation. Go to the planetarium, the library and get a text on astronomy. Ask for explanations from the experts, the real ones, even in the forums on the net. Wonder why insurance companies and banks are not worried, because you give out mortgages despite the arrival of Armageddon. Do not give money to anybody! If you really enjoy watching the news with disasters or transmission Eastenders.
This article was written with the utmost respect for the Maya, but with the utmost contempt for those who derive profit from the fears of others. No one is more authoritative because it only appears on television and a book.
NB: Porcamiseria! To post to this article had to leave the bunker: lead-lined walls because of the wi-fi does not take public.
