2012 the concept scares me to death!

They've been wrong before.

it does coincide with the Earth, Sun, and that super-massive blackhole in the center of the galaxy all lining up, but the Mayan predictions for the period are about as open-ended as Nostradamus. "there will be a war, and crops will die"
No shit, that stuff always fucking happens. "A bad man will gain power" that's like an average Tuesday afternoon on this planet.

Remember when everyone thought Nostradamus pinned Saddam Hussein as the Anti-Christ when the first Gulf War kicked off? Even as a kid I thought that shit was ridiculous. Where is he now? Dead as shit. Bah

Every year for the last ten years supermarket tabloids have been predicting the end of the world, and then it doesn't happen and they go on selling rags to dumbshits stuck in line behind the lady paying in coins.
