Fuck... Just make the shit stop.
2012 is a fucking joke. It's something the Hippy Generation has been touting ever since reefer madness.
What they forget is that the calendar is non-ending. It begins again.
I just want these aging hippies to self-euthanize.

i got about 2 mins in......
nuts, the numbers are just silly.
my take is the mayan calander ends in 2012, because thats when they ran out of space to carve on the stone.
no diffent to last years paper calander which runs out of pages/paper in jan 2009, but as you may notice, we are all still here.
i'll be glad to put 2012 behind me, but it wont end the nonsense, they buggers will move the goals and there will be a new date, i'll even prophesise 2020 as the new candidate.
if they are smart they will build an open ended mechanism that doesnt need rewinding ie
Q:"when will the messiah come ?"
A:"when the temple is rebuilt.........................."
in other words dont hold your breath while you wait

To whom it may concern:
There seems to be some misunderstanding regarding the Mayan interpretation of the 2012 date. Some people seem to have the impression that the Mayan calendar ENDS in 2012. It does not cease in 2012 anymore than our calendar will cease after December of this year.
The Mayan calendar is measured in cycles of various sizes, just as ours is. However, their cycles go way bigger than ours do, and one of the greatest cycles, which is apparently several thousand years long, will end in 2012. After which, it will start over again. Just like we go back to January after December.
So... when we look at the Mayan calendar from this perspective, it doesn't seem likely that they are predicting some sort of mass alien landing or takeover by the world bank or anything so contemporary and culturally-based.
If this date signifies anything at all, it would seem to me that this grand cycle is marked by some sort of celestial event *just like every other cyclical measurement of time in recorded history*.
So if anything is to happen at all in 2012, I'd put my money on a huge comet or asteroid shower of some kind.

Is this hairy guy from the same kabbalah sect that's all the rage now with Madonna et al? He somehow made creation of all things tiresome and boring.
The only prediction that's certain to be accurate is that on December 22, 2012 a lot of people are going to (1) look very foolish and/or (2) drag out a Plan B explanation for why nothing happened.
