"Priests from Cuba's Afro-Caribbean Yoruba religion are predicting a dramatic year of tragedy and crisis in 2002 for the world, ranging from coups and war, to disease and flooding."
Don't we have that just about every year?
"On May 5, 2000, all the planets are supposed to be in alignment. This will cause the earth to suffer earthquakes, volcanic eruption, and various other nasty stuff. A similar alignment occurred in 1982 and nothing happened. People fail to realize that the other 9 planets only exert a very tiny gravitation pull on the earth. If you were to add up the gravitational force from the rest of the planets, the total would be only amount to fraction of the tug the moon has on the earth."
Why confuse the people with facts and science when you can create a panic and make a lot of $$$? Just ask Falwell in his custom-tailored suits.

My money is on the Aztecs and Mayans. From my understanding, they were pretty dead on with all their stalar, meteorologic and geological predictions. As well as other predictions. Their predictions were never concerned with social, religeous or political problems. Although I could care less about the end of the world, reading about the Aztecs and Mayans kind of give me the creeps when I think about it. Don't know if it's going to be a comet, an asteroid, earthquake, ice age, but they were damn sure that 2012 was going to be the end. The funniest thing was that they also predicted their own demise at the hands of the Europeans, disease and starvation which would happen way before 2012. They knew that their civilizations weren't going to be around in 2012, but they still had the curtesy to note it down to warn anyone else who would be.
2012 sounds like a good year for God to scrap his big plan. So if Jesus is out there surfing a big comet with Earth's name on it, I say bring it on! So with that 7 year tribulation stuff, I say watch for 2005 to be a year of fun!

Maybe if they lasted a bit longer they would have extended their calendar. Maybe the calendar maker died. I believe they considered it the end of an age and not necessarily the end of all civilization. There were several ages in the Mayan chronology. My bet is that 2012 will pass into 2013 with someone still around to experience a hangover on Jan 1st 2013.Squatting Tiger said:
