Did you know that it ain't over till the fat lady sings?

The first to predict 2012 as the end of the world were the Mayans. The Mayan calendar predicted that the earth would end on December 21, 2012. Given that they were pretty close to the mark with the lunar cycle, they were only close but no cigar.

What about the magnetic poles shift?

You didn't think about that did you?

Did you know that Earth is surrounded by a magnetic field that shields us from most of the sun's radiation?

And did you know that the magnetic poles (North and South) are known to swap places every 750,000 years? At this very moment we're about 30,000 years overdue.

Scientists have discovered that the poles are drifting apart at about 20-30 kms each year, much faster than ever seen before, which points to a pole-shift being in 2012.

While the pole shift is under way, the magnetic field is disrupted and will eventually disappear for up to 100 years. The result is enough UV outdoors to crisp your skin in seconds, killing everything it touches.
