It'll be the end of all this 2012 bullshit, but it'll probably be the beginning of a pile of 2016 bullshit.

Yeah, we really need some kind of filler before the Y2038 bug.

I would say the odds are pretty good in me waking up on Dec 22 2012.

For me the odds are pretty low I'll be waking up on the 22nd.................... or at least at a reasonable hour, because looking at the calendar that is a Saturday on what will likely be the first day of the two weeks I'll take off for Christmas that year. Sleeping in all day FTW!!!!!!!

Dec 21, 2012 the world will end for all the idiots that believe this stuff. I know because I am going to start immediately financing research on a genetically engineered virus that will kill them all.

The world will end in about 1.2 billion years when the sun swells to about 20% of it's current size and tidal drag slowly pulls the planet out of it's orbit and into the sun. Our planet- everything that ever existed in human history, will be destroyed.

In 100-250 million years, the sun will heat up, making Earth's oceans and atmosphere boil away, so all life will most likely end somewhere around there.

Be this time, we either better be living somewhere else, or have found a way to slap engines on the sides of the planet to scoot us around to more comfortable orbits.

"swells to 20% of it's current size..."

I am having a hard time erecting a joke from that, but it's coming.

Perhaps someone has already destroyed the universe thousands or millions of years ago, and that is the date that the wavefront of that destruction reaches us.

The end of reposts as we know it.

Sometime in the next 50 to 60 years I'll be worm food....so I don't care.

Hopefully it will be the end of hearing idiots talk about the world ending because the Myian calendar ends that day.

A few things.
1. Their calendar does not end of that date.
2. They thought weather was caused by the gods - how come we assume they are smart enough to predict the end of the world?

No shit. Everyone knows the weather is controlled by George W. Bush.

it'll give the y2k kooks and the eco-KOOKS something to look forward too.

A couple things.
1. Their calendar does end on that date.
2. Their calendar appears to be based on cycles that take tens of thousands of years. Stuff they could not have known without watching the stars and recording their movements for hundreds of years.
3. A few is three or more.

The end of that calendar cycle to be more specific. The new cycle begins on that date also.

Hey, that's a Friday night, it works out perfectly.

If a powerful round number like 2000 couldn't kill us clearly a measily oddball number like 2012 couldn't.
