According to the Mayans, the end of the world is to happen one year from today, December 21, 2012.
SFGate has an article on the subject that amused me to no end. Of course, Mexican officials are using the doomsday prediction as a marketing tool to draw tourists, with the expectation that 52 million people will visit the Mayan region.
My favourite part of the article is the second paragraph, which said:
While some doomsday theorists may suggest putting together survival kits, people in southeastern Mexico, the heart of Maya territory, plan to throw a yearlong celebration. And to make a profit while they party.
I don't want to be a killjoy or anything, but if the world is coming to an end, why would you need profit OR a survival kit?
