I've been sketching balls about that end of the world 2012 deal. The thing that really freaks me out is how many different cultures/people in different periods of time predicted the same date. I guess it's plausible that the date had an original source and was just passed on from generation to generation and from culture to culture. Also, NASA has press releases that state there actually is another extremely large object that is in the gravitational field of the sun and whose orbit crosses ours. That isn't cool.
