RE: 2012
I believe the Mayan Calendar already accounted for leap years or more precisely, had no need of one, their year was more accurate than the gregorian one.
I believe the date is still accurate.

Either way, 21/12/2012 is simply the end of (one of) their calendars, which would refresh back to zero and start again. They make no inference that the world ends, merely the calender goes back to zero, in the same way a clock ends at 23:59 each day and starts again.

People love to spread fear.

EDIT: Blow me, when did spelling Calendar get so hard.. I'm going senile.

If you’re going to watch tele, you should watch Scooby Doo. That show was so cool because every time there’s a church with a ghoul, or a ghost in a school. They looked beneath the mask and what was inside?
