I think the original basis for this is a Mayan Calendar, which completes some sort of cycle in 2012. Once the suggestion was made, plenty of people have been looking for "evidence" to support the notion.
The Mesoamerican Long Count calendar forms the basis for a New Age belief, first forecast by Jos� Arg�elles, that a cataclysm will take place on or about 21 December 2012, a forecast that mainstream Mayanist scholars consider a mis-interpretation.
I guess I must really try hard to get laid before said date. There is no way I'm goin up there as a virgin. I don't want God and his angels pointing at me and laughing, wondering amongst themselves why I built a raft to prepare for a meteor.

A 50-minute adaptation of the 2-hour film "<CITE>Breaking the Maya Code</CITE>" will be shown April 8 on the PBS series NOVA, under the title "<CITE>Cracking the Maya Code</CITE>".
Sounds like a chance for Drivel, our stake in heart of Meaning can be driven in classis MD style. Probably make more sense to Henry too.

According to a study in 1989 and 1990 by evolutionary psychologist David M Buss and colleagues from the University of Texas at Austin, you will have better luck in Fenno-Scandinavia.

April 8 -- 2009? 2012? 2013 .
Reminds me of an SNL newsflash skit:
World to blow up at 10:00. Details at 11:00.

Sounds like we could explore the Toba event as the candidate date, or an upcoming near-miss by a space rock ( well documented in legitimate science ) that is to occur around 2036 - maybe their calender had an off by one that propogated or something, we could assist Arvind Birla in veneration contemplations. Candy's dandy but Red Balloons don't get your teeth knocked out by brass gorillas. { i dunno, sounds meaningless }

I think there's something about 2012 in Sikh religion as well, remember reading about it in Sarah MacDonald's Holy Cow, that Sikh schools are training their young to survive and help others some massive catastrophe thats to happen in 2012 etc.
Imagine how depressed and disappointed those kids are going to be on the Christmas eve 2012! Now that is a worrying thought! [ May 05, 2008: Message edited by: Ashok Mash ]
