I dont know how I missed this thread, but here is an interesting article I came across some days back
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/29/sc...l?pagewanted=1
There are 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

All generalizations are wrong. Even this one.

Look here.
A room without books is like a body without a soul.
Facts are meaningless. They can be used to prove anything that is even remotely true.
Go then, there are other worlds than these.

2012 is one of the times for the beginning of the Aquarian age. Pisces (the fish) probably began about 100-200 BC (when Jesus actually lived and ushered in the age-maybe) and so is associated with the Christian religion. In the Bible you find references to the age of Taurus, especially regarding Moses and the golden calf, etc., and I don't remember anything about Aries. We used to get questions about it in the library but not so much anymore. There are several times ranging from the 1960s to 2160 for the age to start. Each age is approximately 2160 years long, so 2160 would the be worst guess because it's just 0 CE to 2160. The 60s is probably too soon. So who knows about 2012. BTW, this is all taken out of context from accounts from before recorded history. These accounts also explain that each age is a sub-period of a larger cycle of 432,000 years. We are about 5,000 years into this larger cycle and so have a long ways to go.
If this thread lasts till the end of 2012, we will have to change the title of it.
Should we all put something in our calendars to post here once a month or so to keep it alive and at the appointed hour have an internet new year's party. Assuming we're all still here of course.

It has been 4 months since he said that. Things have changed. jwenting used to be the only Geeks Lounge mod but seeing as he is no longer a moderator they had to find a new person.
