>Yep, I saw something on TV the other day and they were talking up 2012. Of course, people have been predicting the end of the world for thousands of years and it hasn't happened. So much of their prediction comes from the Bible, but the Bible also says (not a direct quote) "no one shall know."
I have read somewhere that "end of the World", as mentioned in the BIble, is actually a mis-translation, and should read "end of an Era", i.e., there is supposed to be a major change.
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
