I believe your right Kelly ;D

I think they all trolled us.

I still think a massive earthquake is going to cause the pole shift though.

my "magic 8-ball" is saying

"put on your seat-belts this is going to be a ROUGH ride ahead!"

The term Earth Changes describes a belief prevalent in certain segments of the New Age movement. Believers think that the world will soon enter on a series of catastrophic changes that will begin a major alteration in human life on the planet. While apocalyptic beliefs of this sort are common across a variety of religious traditions and the theory is particular to the New Age movement, and is often associated with the predictions of people claiming to have psychic abilities.

I'm curious as to whether the math done to come up with the two supposed doomsday dates includes two factors;
1) the 11 days that were lost in 1752 when England ( incl. the pre-USA colonies) switched over to the gregorian calendar;
2) the fact that the year 1BC was directly followed by the year 1AD, not by year Zero, as you would expect with any negative-positive number scale.

The hysteria of 2012 is likely to influence an outcome of some description indeed. Political unrest or nut jobs on rampages perhaps? The whole 12/12/2012 numerically speaking is hogwash as the calendar's startdate was arbitrary really....

Besides December 21, 2012, the second date would be Oct 21, 2011, postulated by Harold Camping.
As for the first date, who is THE individual who first declared that to be doomsday?
