what do people think of this...?

[Andrew Robinson]

They claim the cycle of the earth passing through the galactic plane  
of the ecliptic matches the Mayan calendar date cycle changing,  
conveniently ignoring that the Mayan cycle is 5125 years, and the  
galactic one is about 65 million years.

There is a ridiculous notion floating round the net that the Mayan  
calendar will end in 2012. All that's actualyl happening is that the  
Mayan calendar will gain an extra digit or two. It's like saying our  
calendar will end at the year 9999, when of course we'll just add  
another digit.
