Yeah . . . Yeah, I have heard all of this too, and also that indeed they had predicted many things accurately, even though I wish I knew more info about it! As far as the end of the world though, I think I remember that it's not so much they predicted what would happen, but I think the Mayan calendar just ends in 2012, and people assume that must mean the end of the world. less than four years left, live it up, folks!
