Yep. Hence the quotations, implying this isn't an original post but I thought it should be shared with the amirite frequenters.

The Mayan calender cycles span hundreds of years and they believed at the end of every cycle a cataclysmic event happened entirely wiping out the human race which is then recreated. The Mayans have been able to succesfully predict future events that happen up to hundreds of years later such as solar eclipses and movement of the planets. That is the only reason the Mayans are given any credibility on the subject.

There are only 3 things I can currently think of that could wipe out the human race by December 21, 2012. 1) Yellow Stone National Park. Many people don't know this but the entire park itself is a supervalcano. One of seven still active on Earth. That is why there is so much geological activity at the park. If the volcano were to erupt everything within a 100 mile radius would be obliterated and the rest of the Earth would suffer from a 12 year volcanic winter as a massive ash cloud spreads into the atmosphere blocking a majority of the sunlight and preventing crops from growing. The human race would starve.

2) Polar Shift. The Earth's magnetic poles are not set in stone. They move and we have evidence they have moved in the past. Generally the poles move slowly and inch along gradually but occasionally they have been known to jump and completely swich places. The sudden change of location for the magnetic poles would cause the entire Earths crust to shift to adjust to the new magnetic layout. The plates that make up the Earth's crust would slam and slide against each other causing massiveearthquakes. Underwater earthquakes would cause Tsunamis to crash into coastlines. lakes and rivers would dry up as new ones appear in places where they had never existed. Entire continental plates could move up or down by several feet, wich doesn't sound like much, but would plunge many countries under the ocean while raising new land from under the sea. Sattelites could possibly fall from the sky disrupting human communication.

Sorry about the double post on reason number two... 3) Solar activity. The sun itself, while supplying energy to a majority of life on Earth is also one of the biggest threats to our safety. I'm not even talking global warming. The sun goes through phases of increasing and decreasing solar activity. Right now the sun is going through a phase of increasing solar activity. The amount of solar flares and sunspots is increasing. Solar flares are superheated jets of plasma that fire out of the sun. Solar flares have been recorded reaching much farther than necessary to hit Earth but on rare occasions. But as the amount of solar activity increases so does the chance of the Earth getting hit. A solar flare would be a knockout punch to Earth blowing the atmosphere away like a child blowing out a birthday candle. The atmosphere we so often take for granted would cease to exist. That isn't our only problem. The sun constantly releases electromagnetic waves, most of wich are blocked by ou...

...our polar shields. If an electromagnetic burst was large enough to get in to our atmosphere than electonics would cease to work. Electrons would stop moving in their wires. This would't be a permanent problem but imagine the chaos that would result. People would be unable to start their cars. Electronics would stop working. Satellite communication would cease to exist. Those with pacemakers or other artificial hearts would drop dead in the streets. Most farms today are either completely automated or at least planted and harvested by large machinery. Without the machinery a large portion of the crops would be impossible to harvest before it goes bad. People trapped in large cities would starve when the grocery stores ran out of food. The worldwide power would take months, or even years to restore. Riots and protests would break out. We live in a modernized time completely reliant on our technology and we could be blown back to the stone age in a matter of minutes. On a side note,...

...I forgot to mention in reason number one that the Yellowstone eruption is over 2,000 years over due.
