Today is the Winter Solstice, shortest day of the year and a Friday. But what they say is the most notable -today is the Apocalypse. The lyric of the above blog post title is what REM vocalist Michael Stipes said after "It's the end of the word (as we know it)" with the song title of the same name.

"As I study such phenomina, I have things to say. Anyone who is so interested must understand a few things . . . :
A) The Mayan Long Calendar stated that 21 DEC 2012 was the end of a 5,125 year cycle and didn't show the new cycle because they thought they'd die off before the next cycle.
B) From a theological perspective, it would have occurred ffour years ago, seing as Herod died in the 4 BC, so if the baby Jesus was born before his death, the year would be 4 BC ergo the current calendar year is 2016 soon to be '17.
C) The idea was that it would occur around not necessarily on this date.
D) If an object were to collide with the earth, it could be a "near-miss" non-collision.
E) Back to theology . . . a rapture would occur, thus ascending those worthy souls directly to the heavens.
For the record - the specific time would have been 12 AM GMT (-6 EST)
These are just a few of my solutions."
Then the following comment was made followed by my response.
"Also, don't forget that the concept of a leap year did not exist for the Mayans as well so even if everything
else stayed constant, this "end" should have occurred months ago."
"And the Julian calandar had a leap year every 4 years but with seven possible days for a leap year, so it
could be off 28 years"
Thus I rest my case.
