2012...Really?!

Jenn told me this morning that people at her work are saying the world will end in 2012. What reason do they cite for this date? Because the Mayan calendar ends in 2012 of course! I guess it is possible the Mayans had some insight into the end times. However, I think a more likely scenario is that if the Mayan culture hadn't died out over 400 years ago they probably would have updated their calendar sometime in the twentieth century. Probably in the 1950s. But, then again, what do I know. - Sean
