2012 phenomenon

The 2012 phenomenon was a range of eschatological beliefs that cataclysmic or otherwise transformative events would occur on or around 21 December 2012. This date was regarded as the end-date of a 5,126-year-long cycle in the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar, and as such, festivities to commemorate the date took place on 21 December 2012 in the countries that were part of the Mayan civilization (Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador), with main events at Chichén Itzá in Mexico, and Tikal in Guatemala.

Various astronomical alignments and numerological formulae were proposed as pertaining to this date. A New Age interpretation held that the date marked the start of a period during which Earth and its inhabitants would undergo a positive physical or spiritual transformation, and that 21 December 2012 would mark the beginning of a new era. Others suggested that the date marked the end of the world or a similar catastrophe. Scenarios suggested for the end of the world included the arrival of the next solar maximum, an interaction between Earth and the black hole at the center of the galaxy, or Earth's collision with a planet called Nibiru.

    PLAYLIST TIME:

    The Jinx

    by: Peter & The Test Tube Babies

    He joins the gang as we leave the pub, we're off downtown to a niteclub.
    And whereas usually we'd get in, we don't tonight 'cos we're with him.
    We're miles from home waiting for the last bus, but when it comes it don't stop for us
    We can't afford a cab and it's quite clear, this wouldn't happen if he weren't here.
    He's a jinx, jinx, everything goes wrong.
    He's a jinx, jinx, when he string along.
    It's Saturday night and there's parties on, but we can't get in any 'cos he's come along.
    So we end up walking 'round all night, if it weren't for him we'd been alright.
    If you want a partner for pool or darts, and you play with him you've lost before it starts.
