Even if the world meets huge destruction in 2012, we know that rats and cockroaches will survive, and they love cookies. So one way or another, your cookies will be appreciated in 2013.Moonlady wrote:2012 can not be the end of the world because my cookies are best before 2013 :mrgreen:

What alignment are you talking about here? There is no special galactic alignment occurring in December (although I agree with you that it would be meaningless if there were any actual alignment).Psnarf wrote:The entire Solar System makes one orbit around the galactic center roughly every 225 - 250 million years; there have been 18-20 such trips around the center of the Milky Way galaxy since it formed. This December alignment has occurred before, but as far as anyone can tell, nothing particulary wacky ocurred when it did.

Exactly. What are we aligned with? The galaxy? The center of the galaxy? How can we be aligned with them on December 21, 2012 if we are not aligned with them today?Chris Peterson wrote:What alignment are you talking about here?

<<In the Maya calendar the Long Count date 13.0.0.0.0 [on Dec.21, 2012] strongly signifies a new beginning.
According to the Maya, the end of the previous world and the start of our current era was on a day 4-Flower with the Long Count date 13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.0.0.0.0 [~ 28 octillion years].
Falling on the winter solstice, the start of the return of the summer, further emphasizes the quality of a new beginning. The thirteen day period (trecena) that starts with day 1-Ollin (Movement) is ruled by Tlazolteotl. This trecena is governed by the goddess of cotton and weaving, of sexuality and childbirth, she who is the eater of sins: it is the sign of the Scavenger, who feeds not on power but on the ills that darken [i.e., chocolate] the heart.
The rainbow serpent [i.e., neufer], symbol of pleasure and folly, levitates amidst a shroud of smoke and shadow: these are 13 days of stolen secrets and odd twists of fate. The earth itself shakes: the ills created by shock can sometimes only be cured by greater shock. These are good days for self-purification; bad days for self-gratification.>>

Apparently they will be changing their advertising somewhat. I think it's made in england. I was going to try it sometime, but i think i'll read the label first.
Here's the articule that i read. I don't think i'll bother with buying any. I'd rather have a raised, glazed, chocolate covered lemon filled donut.Moonlady wrote:Beyond wrote:A few days ago i read an articule about -Nutella- settling a lawsuit a mother brought against it because it wasn't as healthy as it's advertising suggests.Guest wrote:I have not tried Nutella yet!

Did the mothe bought Nutella for her child under age of 18?
In Germany sweets like Nutella, Chocolate bars are advertised by grown-ups and for grown-ups, after parents sued the company.
Right, but you did mention "alignment" in a way that made it sound like there actually will be some kind of galactic alignment in December. There won't be. So not only do we need to let people know that any actual alignment would be meaningless (for the reasons you've already given), but in this case, there isn't even an alignment occurring in the first place! This particular doomsday scenario is doubly stupid.Psnarf wrote:The gullible and/or easily confused claim that there is some sort of celestial alignment that will occur on the end day which will produce some sort of nebulous forces that will trigger the end. For the sake of brevity, I didn't elaborate, since the blathering twaddle of self-proclaimed omnicients staggers the imagination. I can't imagine how anyone could come up with such a ludicrous notion.
We have only recently had a system in place capable (sometimes) of noticing a rock the size of a bus.Psnarf wrote:
howcome nobody noticed that rock the size of a bus which exploded over California as it approached? Spaceweather.com published appeals for anyone with pictures of the event to send them photos so someone can figure out the orbital parameters of that rock.
