As you know 2012 is coming up and so the world is almost over, yeahhh....no. The Mayans the one who predicted 2012 (who also correctly predicted airplanes, their own demise and many other things) said not that "the world would end" but just a huge change would overcome the earth. Some people probably predicted this as the end of the world or just humanity or some religious people thought it was Jesus coming back...again. But it's unknown what they said the change would be, probably because they didn't know. They used the stars to predict things (and I am a believer in their methods, I mean they predicted their own DEMISE for gods sake), and they were extremely accurate, being able to predict leap-years correctly before the English even realized that the seasons didn't match the calenders and had to make leap years. So don't go out there buying those bomb shelters yet, for while there is no doubt in my mind that the Mayans prediction will come true, we don't know what the prediction is. So my advice is to lay-back and see what happens on that fateful day. Oh and just so you know they never said what day it would happen so it's not true that it will definitly happen on New Years, but will happen on any day of 2012.
