When I first saw this thread, I was hoping that there might be an excuse to get some of the 2012=doom silliness out of the way for this year. But, it looks like we'll have to wait through 2012 before this goes away.
A question though: Are any prominent groups thinking of ways to push this past 2012? As in: "No, it isn't really 2012 when bad stuff is supposed to happen, it's 2015 (or 16 or 17)."
