"I've seen this so many times in the last couple days, but it's not really accurate. It is true that there's no leap day in the Mayan solar calendar. However, this is not the calendar that some people are using to predict the end of the world; the Mayans used a long-count calendar for extremely long periods of time. The concept of leap-years is irrelevant to this calendar system, because it's not based on solar years, simply on math.

You know how we use a base-10 counting system? (10, 100, 1000, 10,000 etc.) The Mayans used a modified base-20 counting system for keeping track of days - the second cycle went up to 18 rather than 20. So they tracked days in cycles of 20, 360, 7200, 144000, 2880000, etc.

We're coming to the end of one of the 144,000 day cycles. Today (March 6, 2012) can be expressed at 12.19.19.3.10. This calendar will reach 12.19.19.17.19 on December 20, and then turn to 13.0.0.0.0 on December 21."

On January 1st 2013 you will wake up and things will be pretty much the same way things are this morning.

PLEASE DON'T SAY THAT!

  Oh I remember it well, rolling two deep in a black and white with more fire power on board than my partner and I knew what to do with.  It's been border line comical watching coworkers trying to get vacation requests pushed through only to have them already being denied  :ahand

December 21st 2012? Well there'll be some fantastic end of the world parties. It's a Friday after all. Some people will wake up next morning or the next afternoon wishing the world had really ended! :cheers:

In any case as we on this side of the Atlantic will reach the 21st before you guys. So we'll warn you when the Tsunami/Eruption/Tornado/Alien invasion or apocalyptic plague of locusts hits us. You'll have time to prepare! :salute

He forgot to mention that people will turn into zombies.

I've been watching "The Walking Dead", so I am all prepared for such things.   :D

This.

If you're looking for the end of the Earth, you need to look about four billion years in the future when the Sun starts to run out of hydrogen and swells into a red giant, consuming Mercury, Venus, Earth and perhaps Mars.

Actually, the Earth will end before then.  Once the Moon departs its orbit of Earth (if I recall it is moving away at about 1 inch a year), the orbital stability of the Earth will fail.  Should happen long before the Sun will kill it.

In the meantime, I will still have to pay my taxes...
