Oh, dear. End of days confusion reigns! Today is December 12, 2012, otherwise known as 12-12-12. Twitter is buzzing this morning over the date.

All this 12/12/12 talk makes me even more excited for 13/13/13 next year!

I struggled with this myself… RT @salenazitotrib: So what is appropriate here? Happy 12-12-12? Merry numerals?

— BiasedGirl (@BiasedGirl) December 12, 2012

Yes, tricky! Roseanne, however, just went with the simplistic.

12 12 12

Politicians weighed in.

Happy 12.12.12 – just an algorithm outcome, or something more? Make it an occasion to do something different and positive for you and others

Appears 1 thing holding up #fiscalcliff deal leaders want 2 see if world ends on 12/21.B/C if it does,what the point? #humor #itsajokepeople

— Marco Rubio (@marcorubio) December 12, 2012

Heh. But what’s with the 12/21 date, Senator Rubio? According to many on Twitter, it’s a miracle that we all didn’t die today!

MAYAN calendar, you idiots. It’s only 5:45 in the morning in the Yucatan. 6 more hours, and THEN we’re all going to die. #sheesh

Precious. She’s not alone.

“@sha3007: Weren’t we supposed to die today? #12/12/12″ We were suppose to according to the Mayan calendar, but I guess we didn’t.

— Ralton August (@Raltonaugust) December 12, 2012

So we all ready to die today?!?!? It’s 12/12/12 according to like our 10th look at the Mayan Calendar, this is THE death day! Lol .Bullshit.

— Catie (@GilmoreGirls582) December 12, 2012

Oh, honey. You may want to look for an eleventh time.

Gutted for all those thinking the world was gonna end today. Its 21.12.2012 that the mayan calender hits 13.0.0.0.0.0 you matt damons.

— Stef Clayton (@Stefc92) December 12, 2012

— WhatULookin@ (@Mimi_LuvaLuva) December 12, 2012

— stephanie elizabeth (@ssstephanie_) December 12, 2012

@imaginarylambda apparently I, like many others, had the date wrong. We all die on 21/12/12 according to Mayan calendar.

— Rosie K (@rosalives) December 12, 2012

@stefc92 really? So if we don’t die today it’ll be on the 21st when the Mayan calender ends

— Nicole C. (@N91Liz) December 12, 2012

Lmao. The Mayan calender didn’t predict 12-21-12. Dumb asses did, if you knew the Mayans you’d know we were supposes to die years ago. <<<<

— Tyesaaa(@WiseLove_) December 12, 2012

My dad ran into me room yelling , “I HAVE TO KISS YOU GOODBYE ITS 12/12/12 MAYAN CALENDAR DAY WERE ALL GONNA DIE” wrong day there champ.

— breeze (@briannamarsh69) December 12, 2012

Yes everyone, we are still here on 12:12, 12/12/12, because the world is meant to end on the 21st. Do any of you have your Mayan calenders?!

— Nathan Ruggles (@nruggles) December 12, 2012

So many people talking about the date saying “oh well we didn’t die”. Numptys! Try 21/12/12 for the Mayan Prophecy no that it matters #BALLS

— sd(@PookieD282) December 12, 2012

Apparently I might have got my Mayan dates mixed up, we’re all going to die NEXT week. I apologise for any inconvenience caused. Carry on.

— Rod Hills (@SkyMonkey29) December 12, 2012

Carry on! You have time to further work yourselves into a froth.

Mayan prophecy sparks dread, celebration worldwide… drudge.tw/VBej8C

— DRUDGE REPORT (@DRUDGE_REPORT) December 11, 2012

people so dumb. 12/12/12 is suppose to be a lucky day not the day the world ends !! The Mayan calendar ends December 21 ! Then we die !!

— OG BOBBY JOSELYN (@maryjanee07) December 12, 2012

We’re supposed to die on the 21 not the 12 you dicks. And the Mayan calendar didnt count leap years so we were supposed to die 2 months ago

— drumNbass~ (@Shannonlappinn) December 12, 2012

This Twitter user hopes the prophecy comes true.

@jotini haha so whatever happens we’ll die anyway! :p People say the Mayan apocalypse is only a rumour but I actually want to see it happen!

— leanne! (@lovelyleanne89) December 12, 2012

Sigh. Hate to disappoint you, toots, but we will survive the apocalypse!!1111 And more!

There is an excellent chance many of us will live until 1/1/1 (2101). Big biotech breakthroughs coming.

— Phil Kerpen (@kerpen) December 12, 2012
