2012 is when it's supposed to be reset and start over. Yes lots of superstitions, but when it's backed up by there writing that on this day this comet will appear, this will happen, etc... It is in there writing that about this time a new planet will enter our solar system and play havoc. Thats probably not a prediction but a historical fact since they have been right 100% of the time so far. So what you would call it until it happens is up to whoever wants to interpurt it there way.

Can't say I've heard the planet appearing bit wrt the mayan or aztec calendar?

cut and pasted from the Wikipedia Aztec Calendar link above:

The calendar consisted of a 365 day calendar cycle called xiuhpohualli (year count) and a 260 day ritual cycle called tonalpohualli (day count). These two cycles together formed a 52 year "century", sometimes called the "Calendar Round".I also think pickles are very tasty especialy bread.

You'd have to provide me with the source for that. I find it very difficult to believe.

Take a look at the following map of New Orleans- anything with a reddish tint is BELOW SEA LEVEL


...let me repeat that..Anything with a reddish tint is BELOW SEA LEVEL...

...the freakin' town is built in a hole....and, it's on the hurricane coast....so, when it FINALLY gets hit head-on with a Category V hurricane, suddenly it's Global Warming's fault? I'm sorry, but I'm having a LOT of trouble buying into that.....if you build a city in a hole...and don't get me wrong...it's a great city...but if you build it in a hole, when a big storm comes, it's going to fill up...no science about it...pumps have limits...it's not the Corps of Engineer's fault...it's not Global Warming....it's BUILT IN THE WRONG PLACE!!!!!(yes...that is a Kinnison scream)...IT'S A HOLE!!!...MOVE TO WHERE THE DRY IS!!!

great city....wrong place..

My point was....the damage to New Orleans wasn't due to Global Warming...it was due to building a large city below sea level in an area that experiences hurricanes and storm surges on a yearly basis.

Getting hit by the big one was just a matter of time....not Global Warming.

I guess I wasn't clear. Thanks for pointing that out.
