The astronomer Philip Plait has stated very clearly that the Mayan calendar does not end in 2012 at all, that it is like the odometer on your car, as each section of the odometer reaches 9 and then clicks over to 0, the next number to it starts a new cycle, so that when all the numbers again reach 0 all the way across the odometer - the last number will change from 1 to 2 and the new cycle starts all over again.
I'm still waiting for Ragnarok personally.

I've always been convinced that it's 2028 for the 'end of the world'. Something to do with the odd religion I was brought up in (don't ask ), & some asteroid/meteor thing which is supposed to hit/just miss us in 2028. Time will tell, just hope I've achieved my dream of 5+ acre smallholding by then

The saying goes that analysis showed they were selling Beer and Nappies in combination (wife phones husband, "Get some nappies on the way home") so they moved them to opposite ends of the store
OH NO I won't.

They`ll want to put microchips into us soon so they can keep an eye on us.
I read a book once by Christopher Hyde, I can`t remember what it was called but it was about a town in America (where else!!!) where it was like that the authorties could keep tabs on everyone.

Its a good job we don't live in the world of 'Minority Report', the number of bad thoughts I have had in my life, I'm sure they would not let me out before 2012, and then it'd be too late.
