I've been reading the occasional blurb from various scientists and science writers about the fast approaching end of the world in December 2012. Needless to say, the general consensus is that the world is not going to end. Just because the Mayans stopped counting after the 12th of December 2012 does not mean that they predicted existence to stop counting too.
One such post came complete with a link to a very fun site that lists various end of the world predictions dating back to 2800 BC. Given these things have been wrong for 4800 years or so, I think the odds favor us surviving as a species long enough to ring in New Years in 2013.
