On topic, is anyone actually looking forward to the possibility of the world ending? I plan on being up at the supposed 3am (eastern US) mark with a gin & tonic in my left hand, and my right hand holding up the middle finger. How is everyone else going to greet it?
To jump on this bandwagon, how my kitten Fraz?
Stitch demands constant tummy rubs by laying all splayed out on her back, exposing herself to the world for love and attention. She also comes to me when called, and will demand to be chased around like a dog every hour or so...
Loki lives only for stuffing her face, will gorge herself to death if you let her, and follows me around like a loyal puppy everywhere I go!
Oh, and both of them would love nothing more than to kill and maim hapless squirrels! 
As for my vote, I can only ever go with 'cataclysmic volcanic erruption', since Yellowstone offers such an amazing show every 600,000 or so odd years, give or take a few eons!

Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

Today is 21st December 2012 but I don't see any of those!
only thing gets a big news is Mayan 'celebrates the emerging fifth world'. though the Mayan fifth world myth might have been altered by them to fool/trick/scare outsiders. especially Spanish, or later.. Americans. or maybe misinterpreted by both.
HA! twelve years ago. same eschaton cults emerged, revolving around either Nostradame or the Bible. the 'disasters' are still far from tearing our planet apart.
only possibility that the world will end today is that a massive Alien invasion using teleporting devices and not an amada of UFO.

Fair point, Lonecat! There are always end of the world predictions. Heck, there were crazies talking about it ending in May, too. Spending money on billboards across the country (including one in my city's main downtown street) to spread the word.

Mayans were idiots.
The idiots are the people who think the Mayans said anything about the Earth being destroyed. Here's a hint- if they say we're going through a big cyclical change which has already happened fourteen times, that probably doesn't mean armageddon.

What is hilarious is people still going on about the Mayans, they never predicted the end of the world...
All the modern Mayans are just ignoring this. Because all they have is long count calendars and this one happens to end today.
I read the other day it was some looney in the 1970s wrote a book and said the world was going to end, and then mentioned the Mayan calendar. (Altough there is a high chance I'm talking rubbish)
Anyway, world still hasn't ended, what are we supposed to do now...

If Mayans are idiots, how can they build wonderous cities of Chichen Itza and construct wheel and cog calendar?
They simply don't practice alchemy and invent gunpowder before Spanish sailed thru Atlantic and conquered them.
