yeah thats the impression I got as well. I think it was dedicated to that defiantly. These clowns are just saying that because they want to feel special. I have a special place in my heart reserved for these kinds of clowns >:/

Who knows? If it's a enough day we may all end up Generals!"
as for the colossus, i don't really care if it is built or not. If it happens, it happens. the builders will pay the price (literally; how expensive is that thing anyway?)
if you want my 2cents about the 2012 deal, go ahead and open the spoiler.
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
and we can't say it will end (or not end) in 2012. the Maya calender's current ba'aktun cycle (known as the long count) indeed only ends in 2012, without an apocalypse. It does predict that it will be a time of fundamental change. I in fact suspect that people say its the end because traditional astrology seems to back up by that point (again, as pointed out here, like computers with 1999). Its also the time of some sort of alignment, god knows what, that I don't give a damn about.
Its like those who were predicting the world will end in 2000, or that the rapture would come in 1844....
as for the computer program: as Penn pointed out quite correctly, if they can really predict the future, (they did "predict" 9/11), then why was no one told about it until after the prediction? and even if they knew that it would happen for sure due to the computer, wouldn't the people be behaving in the pinnacle of evil, because by not telling they condemned 3000 to their deaths, knowing they would die?
lastly, as for the predictions that did come true: you know what they have in common? they never set a specific time for it happening, only an approximation.
so ends me diatribe.

I was once alive, but then a girl came and took out my ticker.
