"The Ancient Mayan calendar speaks of 12-12-2012 as the end of times as we know it, and the beginning of a new cycle of evolution for planet earth, humanity and the cosmos."So that means today (or maybe 21st December, depending on which way round some people interpret the numbers) is officially (if you're a Mayan, that is) the End of the World!
