Doomsday = December 21, 2012??

Something tells me thet this guy is operating in tinfoil / nutter /Art Bell territory. However, I found I was comforted by the last paragraph:

Just about the time of 2012 Winter Solstice, the Sun's poles will switch back. During this switch there will be a tendency for the Sun's magnetic field to pull the Earth's field with it.

If the Earth's magnetic poles switch, this would put stress on the planet aggravating earthquakes and volcanos, not to mention destruction of the electrical power distribution grid. And, if the switch happens fast enough don't ever expect your computer to work again.
But if you have old tube type equipment, keep it. It should survive just fine. It will work if you can find electricity.

That is the end of the world, according to the Maya calender. And the Earth's poles might flip. But it won't destroy electrical equipment like an EMP would. Just make compasses wrong

This is all I would ever hear from both my history and science professors. Very interesting to say the least.

The maya thought that they needed to feed the sun with human blood so it would rise in the morning.

something tells me their understand of cosmology might not be perfect....but I'm not sure what it is.

I hope that all the news organizations play it up a lot...that way there will be a bunch of Doomsday Cults and such and more morons would dispatch themselves with tainted Kool-Aid.
