Why not 2013....

Why not 2013....

Paradox6996 16 Jun 2011 21:47

I was thinking today after me and a friend were talking about this site, I told him about it and he thinks it's great there is something out there with some common sense. We were joking about how 2013 would be a better year because it has the number 13 in it, and could fall on 13th of December which has the dreaded Friday the 13th effect to it. I'm not saying the world is going to end on that day. It would just make more sense to me if everyone picked December 13th, Friday, 2013 because it seems more chilling that way. Just really pointing that out for the shear fun factor than anything else. In any case, would the year 1313 be the best? Wonder if people where saying the world was going to end that year as well.

It wouldn't make more sense than 2012 or Y2K, even though we usually pay more attention to "significant" dates, because if the world is going to end someday, it will be on a weird day, maybe on a Friday 13th. :-)
Unfortunately, there is no "13th month". If there was, the world would end on the 13/13/13 at 13:13. But you may not need to wait too much. The next weird date is 11/11/11, at 11:11 am/pm. :-D

Depending on which source you use, Friday the 13th is claimed to have had no mention of being unlucky before the 19th century. Others say that Friday the 13th of October, 1307 was the date that the leader of the Knights Templar and 60 of his knights were arrested and tortured, and that is why the date is considered unlucky. Anyway, if that is the true origin of the superstition, that date in 1313 would have been a good date to select. Of course, like all EOTW dates, nothing happened.

I would have chosen 2112. But of course that means that I had to wait another 100 years before I could sell my books.

2112, great album. Gotta love Rush. Hehe.

On topic: To set an End-Of-The-World-As-We-Know-It date, first you need to find some numbers that have ominous or negative associations. Next, you need to add, subtract, divide, multiply, square, and/or cube these numbers until you get something resembling a date. An optional step is to read through the text of some known prophets. Select a passage that is very vague and cryptic, but could be interpreted as supporting your prophecy if you were to turn your head sideways and squint. Once you're finished, make a video on Youtube detailing your findings (Clint Mansell's Lux Aeterna from Requiem for a Dream or similar "epic" music in the background is optional).

Post the video, sit down, relax, and enjoy your newfound Youtube fame, you conspiracy nut in training!

Lol @ 11/11/11 @ 11:11

I didn't mean make sense as a logical sense in that it makes their claim more justifiable. I meant it as it would just make more sense if they picked that day to setup up their hoax or picking something like 11/11/11 11:11 would make more sense than 2012 23rd @ 8:43!

So, as you can see, the end of the world is not to be calculated by calendars or numerologies. Ugh, numerologies… It reminds me of a certain old geezer who predicted doomsday by using numbers. :(

Think of this:

The human body has 10 fingers, 10 toes = 20

Also have 13 major joints in our body= Wrists(2) Elbows(2) Shoulders(2) Kneck(1) Hips(2) Knees(2) Ankles(2)

Anything we grasp is common to come in contact first with our fingers - or using our toes to balance to walk - any significant actions come after by using our limbs, for example bringing a glass of water to your mouth. First you must grasp it, then bring it to your mouth to drink. One of the first thing a new born learns is to hold their bottle.

2013.

It is anyone's wild guess as to what significance this might have, but i am sincerely optimistic.

What about the joints in you're fingers (28) and you're toes (20)?

It is anyone's wild guess as to what significance this might have, but i am sincerely optimistic.

So you're saying that because we have 20 appendages (even though the year 2013 is called two thousand and thirteen) and we have 13 joints (it's actually 61) there is something significant about the year 2013? That's just silly.

Sigh. One day I'll recognise sarcasm when I see it.

It doesn't always translate well through the written word, hence the rise of Poe's Law and its derivatives.

Oh geeze, don't give people ideas. D:

Someone probably will try to predict the end of the world on that date.
