OMG December 21 2012 is the winter solstice...the pieces are all falling into place now.

On a serious note, yeah I had heard about it, some guy was yelling about on the street one day.

LOL.

The Mayan's astronomical calendar suddenly stops on what correlates to that date. Also is has to do with cycles and stuff similar to that. The world is going to end!!

I personally believe they realized "why are we making calendars this far ahead?"

oh and a brief summary from wiki
December 21 — The Mesoamerican Long Count calendar, notably used by the Maya civilization among others of pre-Columbian Mesoamerica, completes its thirteenth b'ak'tun cycle since the calendar's mythical starting point (equivalent to 3114 BC August 11 in the proleptic Gregorian calendar, according to the "GMT-correlation" JDN= 584283).[7] The Long Count b'ak'tun date of this starting point (13.0.0.0.0) is repeated, for the first time in a span of approximately 5,125 solar years. The significance of this period-ending to the pre-Columbian Maya themselves is unclear, and there is an incomplete inscription (Tortuguero Monument 6) that records this date. It is also to be found carved on the walls of the Temple of Inscriptions in Palenque, where it functions as a base date from which other dates are computed.[8] However, it is conjectured that this may represent in the Maya belief system a transition from the current Creation world into the next.

I like this. If the world does end, at least it ends properly, with a sense for order.
