Who will post at 12:12:12 pm?

With the temperature in Iqaluit (Iqaluit /iqɑluit/ is the territorial capital and the largest community of the Canadian territory of Nunavut. Until 1987, it was called Frobisher Bay, a name that is still occasionally used. Iqaluit is located on the south coast of Baffin Island at the head of Frobisher Bay) at -22 C, normal for mid-December, the sun rose in Iqaluit at 9:12 a.m. on Dec. 12, 2012 — or 12/12/12. Today is the last day of this century when all three numbers — day, month and year — will all match. That won't happen again until Jan. 1, 2101. (PHOTO BY DAVID MURPHY)

DW wants me around the house on 12/21. Not so much for any fears about the end of the world, but more out of concern that nutjobs might go crazy.

Excellent!

That was so cute I had to send it to my brother who is a sound engineer!

Help!

What should I be doing at 12:12 and 12 seconds Pacific Standard Time. I'm quite worried now. About 3 hours until it's here. It's my one time this century.

Tell her not to worry - they all live in my neighborhood.

I cannot say I am particularly concerned. I don't even hear much media hype on this one. I have the day off anyway, so no biggie.

I dunno...considering you'll have only one second, it better be quick.

Not that anyone here believes any of the hype anyway, but I thought it was interesting to hear that Even the Maya are getting sick of 2012 hype - Technology & science - Science | NBC News.

Definitely not, the Mayan elder insists. "I came back from England last year and, man, they had me fed up with this stuff."

Chile Pixtun, a Guatemalan, says the doomsday theories spring from Western, not Mayan, ideas.

But most archaeologists, astronomers and Maya Indians say the only thing likely to hit Earth is a meteor shower of New Age philosophy, pop astronomy, Internet doomsday rumors and TV specials.

Westerners have been trying for more than a century to pin doomsday scenarios on the Maya. And while fascinated by ancient lore, advocates seldom examine more recent experiences with apocalypse predictions.

DW will be in a dental chair at that moment. She is having crowns done and we are praying that some Twilight Zone type event does not befall her. I set her watch to be the correct time and her alarm will go off at 12:12 so that she can cross her fingers.

Captured on my iMac screen a few minutes ago:

Too bad I couldn't figure out how to format the date as 12/12/12.

What do I do all day? Well now you know.

Krispy Kreme donuts have a big facebook promotion surrounding 12/12/12. Something about a dozen donuts. Only know because a friend "like it". Didn't explore. Afraid I'd get dozens of those bad for you but truly tasty donuts. Ever had a really fresh one? Orgasmic. Like the crack cocaine of junk food. Must look away from the Krispy Creme site.....

Took Mom to the Dr. today. Guess what time the appointment was. That's right, noon. 12 -12 -12 at 12.

12-21-12 coming right up.....

Her next appointment. Unfortunately, not at 12:21, just 12.

I agree on fresh ones, I had a fresh one right off the line at a store in Riverside. My reaction wasn't exactly the same as yours, but it was a noticeably better donut than a non-fresh KK donut, or any other brand I've ever had. Thank goodness there are no Krispy Kreme stores near me...
