    "t's a good news/bad news situation for believers in the 2012 Mayan apocalypse. The good news is that the Mayan "Long Count" calendar may not end on Dec. 21, 2012 (and, by extension, the world may not end along with it). The bad news for prophecy believers? If the calendar doesn't end in December 2012, no one knows when it actually will - or if it has already....."

    I thought the planets will line up in a certain way that day, which corresponds to the calendar. So how would that be wrong?

    Damn. So does that mean I have to face the consequences of all the stupid things I did since that movie came out, thinking I wouldn't have to take sponsitility since the world was supposed to come to an end in 2012?

    Damn you Mayans! Damn you John Cusack!

    The "Galactic Alignment."

    If I wake up on 12/21/2012 and the world has not ended, I will put on some clothes and go to work.

    Actually, there are many other natural phenomena that may be happening in that year (but not on that exact date)... magnetic pole reversals.. or a huge solar storm.

    The solar storm one is something that NASA has talked about. There is potential for the world's power grid to be wiped... that would be annoying.

    It's Friday, and Christmas is on Tuesday. You should take some vacation and go finish your Christmas shopping. Your family won't want whatever was left on the shelf that you get on Monday.
