Okay, so I have an older sister who is OBSESSED with reading about 2012 and the Mayan Long Count calendar. She is absolutely convinced that the Mayans were onto something and that Armageddon is just a stone's throw away.
This morning she called to tell me about a movie that is being released in November called 2012 that is, obviously, about the end times.
Okay, so aside from the fact that my husband and I think she is a one french fry short of a Happy Meal on this issue, she appears pretty normal about other issues/situations. But she harps on this 2012 all the time to anyone who will listen.
I finally Googled it and read a little but don't find it to be any more or less impressive than the Nostradamus (sp?) guy. I think people can pretty much read anything they want into things.
So my question is, anyone here ever spent any time reading about this 2012 stuff? Thoughts?

auto archive: threads with no posts for 6 months get moved to the archive site. mods can set threads to never leave the live site. just let any of us know you want it set like this and we will.
auto renew: script goes through and any thing with ~3k posts has everything but the first 3 posts and the last few posts get thrown into a locked thread with a link in the op. if there's a lot of busy threads it can take quite awhile before it reaches a certain thread. priority given to the deal forums/lounge.
i know you didn't ask about auto renew but a lot call renew archive so if i explain one, might as well explain both
Aw crap, that means I won't be around to actually get any fruit from those damned date palms I just planted. (Takes 4-7 years.) Bummer.
