Whatever. I happen to like all the doomsday talk. I'd have nothing else to do if I weren't constantly quivering in fear over the next sure-thing apocalypse.
Cracked doesn't list things like that. Oftentimes the first entry you read (in this case, the Mayans) is the strongest in order to grab people's attention and get them to keep reading.
Yeah. Almost all of my Y2K research at the time led to Dec. 21st, 2012, and NOT to Y2K. I suspect a magnetic pole reversal (which WILL f**k things up...) at around that time.
Oh joy. See, I remember back in 1999 when the world was going to end on December 31st at midnight. All because of "Y2K". Alas, that doomsday theory fell through. Oh wait, there was another, wasn't there? June 6th, 2006 was going to be apocalyptic day, everyone online was talking about how the world is going to end that day. Again.. yet another doomsday theory that fell through. OH GOD! ANOTHER ONE! 2012.. Now, am I the only one that has noticed that the 2012 theories didn't surface until after the other doomsday theories fell through? At least I don't remember hearing anything other than those particular doomsday theories. And after those suspenseful hours, some new theory surfaced. It's just a pattern of more bulls**t to scare the hell out of people.
The show they're referring to here is not the Lost Prophecies of Nostradamus - it's Decoding the Past: Doomsday 2012. I was an associate producer on that show, and I recognize the screenshots (especially the one of our PA, Chip, in front of the computer for the WebBots section). I also recognize the theories we put together. :-) People LOVE the Apocalypse!
For an article that's supposed to debunk theories, it really does a bad job at doing so. Didn't the Mayan predict the arrival of the Spanish Conquistadors?

And those people who thought 2009 was going to be the end of the world. We're halfway through 2009! <a class="user" href="http://the-end.com/">http://the-end.com/</a>
