it also just happens to be the digits of my birth-date, 20th of the 12th =2012? and then in the year 2012 my birthdays full date with be 20'12/2012. thats scary as the primary date for all these apocoliptic cries is the day after my birthday.
There being almost 365 million people in the US, there are almost 1,000,000 people with that particular birth date (in the US. Almost 20,000,000 worldwide.) So, at first glance that would seem to be a very common phenomenon. But what is really remarkable about this group is that at least 93.7% of them are Sagittarians! (Whereas in any randomly selected group of people you would expect to find only about 8.5% of them are Sagittarians.) Now, if one of those 1,000,000 people should have the name Maya - or even better - Maya N. Calender, then I think you will have found the Goddess who will rule over the Great New Age.
And for all you skeptics who are crying bull*hi*, JJP reminds us in post 13:
...especially when you take into account the planetary alignment in may 5th 2000 and this new age of aquarius which some call the great age.
and that 2000 is the year the George W. Bush became president and ushered in a new era of peace and well being for all of mankind.
The really interesting question that can be addressed with some simple observations is: When Great Sky Wolf swallows up the moon (during what scientists like to call a "lunar eclipse"), do the tides recede, to return as soon as GSW spits the moon out again. Several noted astronomers are organizing an expedition to Miami Beach to await such an event and measure the tidal response.
