Could you be more specific about what you mean by the Olympic "bid"?
The short list is Paris, New York, Moscow, London and Madrid and the decision is announced in Singapore on 6 July. India's two bids were cancelled in February last year.
What's the rub?
2012 is just another year. If the Mayans were around, they would just buy a new calendar like the rest of us!

Is it a coincidence that the UN headquarters is also in New York? Maybe so. Also as an interesting tie-in you might want to read the Conversation with a cab driver thread in RATS if you have access. Makes for an interesting theory.

The wierdest part is how they need to build JETS stadium in order to get the Olympics in 2012.
JETS Stadium.
Anyone else think it's strange to name a stadium in nyc "JETS" Stadium?
Even stranger after 9/11.
Maybe they should call the new Freedom Tower, Jets Tower.

It's odd that the Olympics are taking place in 2012?
The Olympics take place every other year now. The chance of the Olympics coinciding with any given year is the same as a coin flip.
