Today, my dad forced the whole family to sit through a two-hour lecture, with supporting research, on how the "Mayan prophecy" is actually a load of shit fabricated by conmen. Nice to know he thinks we're all borderline brain-dead, gullible fuckwits who believed it to begin with. Thanks, dad. FML

Today, my dad lost his mind over the meteorite incident in Russia. He's convinced that it's part of some big government conspiracy to cover up a UFO crash-landing, and now he won't stop dismissively calling us "sheep" and telling us "do the research" just because we don't agree with him. FML

Today, my father, who is going through a serious mid-life crisis, walked into my room, told me to "sit the fuck down," and spent the next two hours ranting about how the Lord of the Rings books prophesy the end of the world this December, and that Sauron is an analogy for "corrupt bankers." FML

Today, after a long discussion, my dad still doesn't understand how evolution works, and thinks it's a myth that was debunked a long time ago. FML

Today, I listened to my niece explain to me, in great detail, that the Titanic never sank, and that the year it supposedly did was a prediction of 9/11. She learned all of this from some whackjob conspiracy theory videos, and acts like she's an expert now as a result. FML

Today, I had to convince my dad that text lingo causes brain damage just to try to get him to stop. He actually believed me, and is telling everyone they have, or will receive brain damage soon. FML

Today, my dad demonstrated just how incredibly illiterate he is. He sent me a chain email about the awful lives of people with "Asparagus syndrome". FML

Today, my mom blew her top when I casually mentioned that it's pretty well known that the story of Jesus is a retelling of older Persian and Egyptian stories. She then went on to yell at me that I wasted my money on college and "book learning". FML

Today, I decided to be nice and pay a social visit to my slightly deranged grandpa. I ended up politely sitting through two hours of him lecturing me on how he "invented the modern tap", then on how sex is an Illuminati invention to "give sluts the STDs they need to kill us all". FML

Today, my dad tried to convert me, as he has numerous times before, and asked me why I was an atheist. After giving him a polite explanation and asking him if we could drop the subject, he nodded slowly and said, "You must be menstruating or something. You'll change your mind." FML

On the 21st, play some music with loud bass on your speakers to make the house shake. Then see if he comes down screaming that the Mayans were right.

I just got my 2013 calendar from Dirty Joe's Crab Shack And Pastries. I believe in Joe, although your world might come to an end if you eat one of them pastries.

Well, two weeks from now they'll be saying "Oh...we were wrong again. It's supposed to happen in ANOTHER twelve years..."

I'm fearful too. People are stupid, and I plan to stay in my house on the so-called day the world ends. Not because I believe it, but many do, and because of those idiots, the crime rate is going to go up something awful that day. Can't imagine wanting to get on the road with those morons.

I'm terrified of the suicide rates on December 21st. People have suspected that they'll rise next week as some people don't want to witness the "end of the world". Maybe I'm overreacting here, but I'm also terrified of the homicide rates. If a person kills themselves to avoid the apocalypse, they'd probably want to "save" their families too...

If the Mayans were such great fortune tellers, how come they didn't see the Spaniards coming and get the hell out of the way?

Good point! Not to mention that they also used a different calendar system than us. So 2012 for them is a different year than 2012 for us.

Sunday 16 December 2012 5:50

It's probably because they didn't actually use Arabic numbers to count years... so they never really say '2012' anywhere. You know... just a thought.

Exactly! That's why comparing their calendar with ours is like comparing apples and oranges. Their dates don't coincide with ours.

Actually, that's not what I'm saying. Time is not relative to the type of calendar you use. It doesn't matter which calendar it is, as long as you know how the calendar works, you can still make calculations to find approximate dates.

The Mayan civilization was declining long before the Spaniards even got there. They suffered from over population and droughts. Are you thinking of the Aztecs?
