LOL, at first I thought this was going to be about the pirates movie. Anyway, the aztecs the people who brought you the calender, (heh) though that the world would end 2012. That is just when they stopped theirs. 2012 just so happens to be an election year..... Also, Einstein predicted that the world wouldn't last 4 years without the bees to pollenate. This year bee farmers (if that is the correct term) said that they had lost a total of 75% of the worlds population of farmed bees, because of the weather [bleep]es.... Also, even though I don't believe in it... I guess you can throw global warming into the mix... ( ITS ONLY A THEORY PEOPLE DONT LET GORE FORCE FEED YOU IT!)
