Boosting this quality contribution up in the Hot Listing - declared quality by Boise_Lib.

could put this under comedy because it's pretty hilarious; i got a couple chuckles out it.

http://idle.slashdot.org/story/10/10/19/1359252/2012-mayan-calendar-doomsday-date-might-be-wrong -- off by 60 days

http://www.natutech.nl/00/nt/nl/47/artikel/26050/Balen:_%272012%27_is_pas_over_twee_eeuwen.html -- off by 100 years

but the 2012 date gets close to matching up for other things, like Moore's law:
wiki: "Moore's law describes a long-term trend in the history of computing hardware: ... 2005 sources expected it to continue until at least 2015 or 2020"

Love the subtle Minecraft references.

Adding video to channels (History) - requested by hpqp.

I also like the Aperture science logo when they are displaying NASA scientists.

"2012 ... swept the academy awards..."???? Wasn't even nominated, as far as I can tell.

Your sarcasm meter must be malfunctioning.

Nope. I mean, from 5 minutes of research I don't turn up any evidence that 2012 was ever nominated for any Oscars, let alone winning any. I started here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_(film)#Accolades and continued on to the lists of Oscar nominations from 2008 to 2011. What have I missed?>> ^brycewi19:

What I think you missed is.....it was said as a joke. Someone back me up on this.

It was sarcasm - backed up! Seriously though, early in the clip he says people are predicting the end of the world in 2012 based off of ancient Mayan calenders "obviously". Pretty sure that's sarcasm. So one might assume he would use more sarcasm throughout his spiel. >> ^eric3579:

"The amount of time in the universe is infinite . . . " Debatable.

That's a poor attempt even by the low standards of sarcasm since neither a literal nor sarcastic interpretation gives it any scientific weight since a Hollywood movie bears low scientific credibility with or without an Oscar.>> ^eric3579:

Also "calendar" is misspelled in the title. Unless that too is a sarcastic joke that I somehow missed.

That's just poor spelling.
