I was watching PBS last night, the end of the world is going to come via
a
killer meteor.

the last day of the earth is dec 20th 2012 - according to the Mayan
calendar. No need to worry about global warming, the price of gas, or
even
what is in your bank account, because after that day it is gone anyway....

The precise date of the expiration of b'ak'tun is not known due to the
vagries of time - in that nobody exactly knows what time scale the
Mayans used.

As written, the date is thought to be 12/21/12 which, if you were a
numerologist, should give you some pause for thought. However, the
corrected star chart calendar adjusts the date to 12/23/12 which kind
of ruins the whole "dyre" effect of 12/21/12.

Depending on which expert is discussing this, the year may even be
incorrect - off as much as minus four years and plus 5 years. There
are experts who believe that the "sun" calender was based on a earlier
calendar which used a completely different scale to record time and as
a result, nobody knows anything because it's not calculable.

Minus 4, Oh, Oh....
