21/12/2012 is the Mayan equivalent of the old Y2K "bug"; expanding their calendar to the next cycle would resolve that forecast catastrophe.

Now if only we can convince the budget holders that programmers are needed to take care of the Mayan calendar rollover in the same way we did for Y2K we're all back in paid work. Yayy!
