OT - Don't know what your background on 2012 is but it doesn't take much to google "mayan, 2012" and you can find this:

"For the ancient Maya, it was a huge celebration to make it to the end of a whole cycle," says Sandra Noble, executive director of the Foundation for the Advancement of Mesoamerican Studies in Crystal River, Fla. To render Dec. 21, 2012, as a doomsday or moment of cosmic shifting, she says, is "a complete fabrication and a chance for a lot of people to cash in."
Part of the 2012 mystique stems from the stars. On the winter solstice in 2012, the sun will be aligned with the center of the Milky Way for the first time in about 26,000 years. This means that "whatever energy typically streams to Earth from the center of the Milky Way will indeed be disrupted on 12/21/12 at 11:11 p.m. Universal Time," Joseph writes.

From USAToday and Wikipedia. I'd also like to look at his claim that we're more different genetically from man 3000 BC vs those some people and Neandrathals (spelling?). Guessing that's bunk as well.
But it does look like the Mayans might have predicted the bottom of the housing market. Hope you had a good weekend. Will get the other post probably later today.
