This story started when somebody noticed that on (or near) the winter solstice in 2012, the position of the Sun (in galactic co-ordinates) is at (or near) zero degrees latitude (the plane of the galactic disk) and zero degrees galactic longitude (between the Earth and the center of the galaxy). Somebody (else?) noticed that this was near the date that marks the "roll-over point" (end) of the Mayan calendar. From there, somebody added 2 plus 2 and came up with 22 and the woo-woos ran with it.
