    I've heard about that 2012 thing as well...
    It is interesting. The reasoning is quite fundamented in verifiable facts like the Mayan callendar and the I-Ching book of changes... But, then again, I think that the reason why the Mayan callendar ends in 2012 is because the guy who was charged to do it got bored and said "oh, well... that'll do!..." (as if he worked for British Leyland in the 1970's.
    The end of the world has been announced several times in history. In the year 1000 everybody in Europe was frightened and yet... nothing. And in the year 2000 we had the millenium bug. The bug didn't bite any byte... and everything kept working. I guess we'll see when the day comes.
    A friend of mine is a bit more skeptical... he says he'll buy a horse's saddle and pin it hard into the ground and ride the shifting poles as if it was a pony! I'm glad he's a doctor and not a physicist!

    I think the guy was doing hard time in prision and he was either released or died...
