  WHAT WILL OCCUR IN 2012 WHEN THE MAYAN CALENDAR ENDS?

  When people say the Mayan calendar ends in 2012, they're referring to the end of one 5125-year cycle that began in 3114 B.C. This cycle ends on December 21, 2012 (although some peg the date as the 22nd), marking the end of the Mayan cyclical calendar. Some theorize this will result in major "Earth changes (an idea popularized by Jose Arguelles), including severe earthquakes, coastal land sinking into the ocean, and the transporting of humankind to a "fourth dimension" state of consciousness. Others believe it will cause a reawakening of hidden knowledge in the human DNA, causing the human race to seek a path of initiation. Another theory postulates the date marks the collapse of linear time. An off-shoot of that says the date marks the discovery of "time travel," making linear time -- although still present -- obsolete.

  Or maybe, just maybe, it will be the first day of winter 2012, and I'll be 41.5 years old.

  Then again that could be the date the mothership returns. Or the turtle that the earth sits on decides to quit holding us all up.

  So why should these people know anything about when the "end of the world" would come? They weren't able to survive as a nation, and yet they should have supernatural knowledge?

  But most likely he is right. Nothing will happen because the Mayan calendar runs out. In fact it is not going to run out, just start the next cycle.

  Good answers Hojon.

  The Y2K crash will come 12 years late, since COBOL programmers all used the Mayan calender anyway but since they enjoyed the job security of the pre-2000 panic they just kept quiet about it.
  Microsoft Windows and AOL, also secretly based on the Mayan calender, will also permanently expire, as will Al Gore's microchip. Some people will miss AOL and Windows.
  Ronald Reagan's second coming will occur soon thereafter, ushering in a new era of peace and low taxes and renewed popularity for conservative Republicans and complete destruction of commies forever.
