2012 is the given date that the world ends its current cycle by the Mayans.
Correct. However, I think we're looking at WWIII a little sooner than that...
However, I'll be willing to put 100 to 1 odds that the world doesn't end in 2012...$100... place your bets!
(figuring of course, that if I'm right, I'll be rich, and if I'm wrong, we'll all be dead anyways, so nobody gets paid...
