THE LONGEST DAY OF THE YEAR!!!!
Although it would be cool if there was some crazy apocalyptic event (to some extent =P), I doubt anything will happen.

its they day when the myan calender ends and when the sun, earth and center of the milky way line up. Some scientists say the magnetic poles of the earth could move in a matter of hours.

That could happen because the Earth is at about the time when the magnetic poles actually will switch, since the last time that happened was like 90,000 years ago. We'll see, but I doubt there will be any crazy event.

Its December 23rd, not the 21st.
And I think everyone is going tobe sorely dissappointed, since our entire calender system is off by 4 years. Our year zero, in BC and AD terms, is actually entirely off. So, technically, 2012 will be...next December.
Which is actually fitting, for reasons only I will know, since if I share them, you guys will probally say I am crazy or an idiot.

I am not sure why you think the calender is off? but yea, I am guessing your theory has something to do with the presidential elections?

I predict that there will be some sort of astronomical event on that date. Not armageddeon esque, but something noticable.

The whole thing with the poles changing is that it will cause crazy things to happen. For example plate techtonics will kick in and masses of land will seperate and certain masses of land will simply sink into the sea.
And to everyone who is talking about the Myans. I dont care about them. It is Edgar Casey(sp) who im believing. He said that the world is gonna end in Dec. 21, 2012. He also said that the poles are what is gonna start the apocolypse, and that there will be suddle clues in the climate to show that this is coming. (Has anyone noticed the wierd weather lately?), He also said that the world has already ended and restarted 5 times.
Edgar casey has made 14,000 predictions that have come true.
Sorry if that sounded wierd i'm kind of exhausted.

]The Long Count calendar identifies a date by counting the number of days from August 11, 3114 BCE. According to the Maya, there will be a baktun ending in 2012, a significant event being the end of the 13th 400 year period, but not the end of the world. However, instead of using a base-10 scheme like Western numbering, the Long Count days were tallied in a modified base-20 scheme. Thus 0.0.0.1.5 is equal to 25, and 0.0.0.2.0 is equal to 40. The Long Count is not consistently base-20, however, since the second digit (from the right) only counts to 18 before resetting to zero. Thus 0.0.1.0.0 does not represent 400 days, but rather only 360 days.

Soo it doesnt run out at dec 21 2012 a baktun is just ending?.. Wikipedia source..

6/6/06 - nada
Y2K - nada
every other hyped day in history - nothing
I'd say that the chances of anything major happening is almost nonexistent.
