As far as the poll... Let me know when people start blood-letting from their genitals over local crops like the Mayans did or worshiping dead Mayan kings on the appropriate dates as SPECIFICALLY called for on the Mayan calendars. Man, I remember thinking that Y2K was the height of silliness but the general population continues to raise the bar.

A better poll question:
What will 2012 Doomsday advocates say by the time we start celebrating New Year's Day in 2013?
a) They will claim that they merely got the date wrong and will set a new Doomsday for 2016 so we'll have to listen to another three years of their garbage.
b) They will say that we JUST BARELY avoided an epic cataclysm and the human race ALMOST went extinct but we just didn't notice it. Man, we're lucky we dodged THAT bullet!
c) They will say that the cataclysm DID happen, and THEY were able to detect it...the rest of the world will soon start feeling the effects of this HUGE, EPIC, EARTH-CHANGING event any day now.....yep, any day.... Keep waiting for it, you WILL notice the effects ANY day now!
