A little rant about that 2012 nonsense…

One reason the world will end:

The Maya, the world’s greatest timekeepers ever, say it’s all going to stop on December 21, 2012.

gg rightly points out that we are the best timekeepers. But I think this is not an issue of timekeeping. The Mayan calendar runs its course, and then starts over again. Does anyone seriously predict that the world will end on Dec 31 each year, because that’s when our calendars run out?

Besides, the world can’t end in 2012, when Rush has already foretold events of 2112
