Riding on the massive success/cultural phenomenon that was 10,000 B.C., Roland Emmerich is currently working on a movie slated for next year called 2012 which is apparently about the world ending in some vague way. It may be good though my current prediction is that it will make Armageddon look like Citizen Kane.
Predictions, by the way, are what this post is all about. Apparently, this movie is inspired by some prediction that the Mayans made around 3,000 years ago that the world would end on December 21, 2012. This idea is gaining ground among people who think it's a good idea to rely on the predictive powers of a people whose mystical powers were apparently so incredible that the Mayan civilization died out more than a millennium ago. That fact won't stop a lot of people from regarding Emmerich's dumb movie as a documentary and exposing a lot of stupid people to this stupid idea.
Not much we can do except to tell as many people as possible that this prediction is impossible and couldn't possibly happen. How do I know? Because the world was already destroyed by Y2K back in the year 2000. You can't destroy a world twice folks, that's just simple logic.
