Yeah Y2k certainly could have had real consequences I was referring more to the "OMG were all gonna die!!!" aspect of it that seemed to be prevalent in the late 90's (planes falling from the sky, nuclear weapons launching). I'm sure if not dealt with it could have been very bad. I just seem to remember a LOT of, what seemed like to me, needless hysteria surrounding it...couple it with happening on the millennium and, well you get the picture.
I didn't mean to derail the thread though.
Anyway the odd thing about 2012 is that in order to believe it you have to accept that the Mayans had some sort of ability to see the future (Maybe aliens told them?) and I just can't accept that without some sort of concrete evidence to back that up...which would be, in my opinion, quite a scientific discovery.
