the theory that the world will end in 2012 is completely fake. its based on the ancient mayan calender, because thats when it ends, but supposedly that only signifies the end of a period or whatever. anyways... its total bull and was only made popular by the media because the movie 2012 came out at that time, after that movie came out i never heard anything about it, so its all mass media crap that made it popular. and by the way, the movie 2012 SUCKED! lol.
