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?

You have no idea how many total nut jobs have told me that Obama is the AntiChrist, and that these are the end times, so therefore, the Mayans were right, and the world ends in 2012.

Oooooooh.... can you ask them if they found a time capsule in FL that has a sock monkey, 2 quarters and a receipt showing I paid 86 cents for a gallon of gas that year????

One of my faves is "sharper than the leading edge of a bowling ball"

Far-right and/or religious wackos, media coverage, and Bush have all really hurt the Republican party. I wish people would realize that they're doing more harm than good.

How many times have you have a friend tell you, that they really hate their co worker, and when you ask why, they just go "she sucks" no explanation, no reason, etc.
It's human nature, and it's annoying, lol.
Now, we best stop now, because we're threadjacking!
