The Ancient Mayan Calendar...rolls over in December 2012. A bit like ours rolling over from 1999 to 2000 a few years ago, and with as much cosmic significance.
Some credulous numpties, on the other hand, are believing that the "ancient wisdom" of the Mayans means that it is the end of the world, and a smaller, cannier bunch of cynical scaremongering numpties are taking advantage by selling the first set of credulous numpties a shedload of poorly-written, evidence-free nonsense about it in glossy paperback form.
You can find these so-called books in the "Mind, Body, Spirit and Other Credulous Bollocks" section of your local bookstore, taking up space rightfully meant for Richard Dawkins and Martin Gardner books. Grrr.
Mmm. "Numpties". I think that's my Word of the Day.
