Aside from the obvious Mayan Calendar and Biblical references, there are also some interesting factoids spawning all over the web that would really add up to the end-of-the-world scenario. Some are interesting, some are funny, and most are just weirdly connected. Want to know them all?
1) The 2012 Olympics will be held in that great city of the World London.
2) NASA predicts that a great meteor will narrowly miss the earth in 2012.
3) The Vatican holds very closely to the Prophecy of St. Malachy. This Medieval Monk had described, one by one, a total of 112 popes until Doomsday. The current Pope, Benedict XVI is the 111th named Pope. Only one Pope remains. And he has a name: Peter the Roman.

Since its discovery up ’til 1986 the Earth’s “heartbeat” was a constant 7.8 Hertz per second. Since then it raised dramatically up to 10 Hertz per second, up to 1998. After that, magnetic properties of the Earth dramatically dropped and is expected to reach its zero point on… 2012.

I can’t believe I only made #3 on your list.
Jesus Christ has raised me from the dead through normal consummation.
I am the resurrected prophet of the Most High, St. John the Baptist, whom Jesus Christ calls “the Elias who was to come”, enjoying the rapture of Christ’s love in the duty of Petrus Romanus (Peter the Roman), your ultimate, penultimate authority.
MATTHEW 24:36 But of that day and hour knows no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
Thanks for your comment kuya Abs! indeed, Acts 1:6-11 “The Father alone has the authority to set those dates and times, and they are not for you to know. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” After saying this, he was taken up into a cloud while they were watching, and they could no longer see him. As they strained to see him rising into heaven, two white-robed men suddenly stood among them. “Men of Galilee,” they said, “why are you standing here staring into heaven? Jesus has been taken from you into heaven, but someday he will return from heaven in the same way you saw him go!”
Matthew 24:32-44 “Now learn a lesson from the fig tree. When its branches bud and its leaves begin to sprout, you know that summer is near. In the same way, when you see all these things, you can know his return is very near, right at the door. I tell you the truth, this generation will not pass from the scene until all these things take place. Heaven and earth will disappear, but my words will never disappear. “However, no one knows the day or hour when these things will happen, not even the angels in heaven or the Son himself. Only the Father knows. “When the Son of Man returns, it will be like it was in Noah’s day. In those days before the flood, the people were enjoying banquets and parties and weddings right up to the time Noah entered his boat. People didn’t realize what was going to happen until the flood came and swept them all away. That is the way it will be when the Son of Man comes. “Two men will be working together in the field; one will be taken, the other left. Two women will be grinding flour at the mill; one will be taken, the other left. “So you, too, must keep watch! For you don’t know what day your Lord is coming. Understand this: If a homeowner knew exactly when a burglar was coming, he would keep watch and not permit his house to be broken into. You also must be ready all the time, for the Son of Man will come when least expected.
That is exactly as it is for me since the morning of June 25, 1956 when Christ granted me, His very angel about whom He referred, to be born again. I did not even know it then, but God has shown me what He has done. Gently did He bring me out of the depths of what would have been eternal damnation in abidance with the Biblical verse “a bruised reed He shall not break”.
Greetings in the Resurrected Christ!
