2012 Apocalypse

So, one of the biggest thangs doing the rounds at the moment is that the world will end / undergo huge changes on the winter solstice December 21, 2012.
This is largely because this is the date that the Mayan calendar ends, combined with interpretations of predictions from a few other cultures. I don't believe any of it so far, but I'm interested to hear opinions on it. Anyone?
 
Oh, and here's the Wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_millenarianism
Yeah, I know, Wikipedia is unreliable, but the article is comprehensive enough while being unbiased.

What evidence has their ever been to know the exact date of the end of the world? It's just superstition.

I don't believe it either, although it is interesting to attempt to predict things that may happen.

Wiki can be unreliable, although they do cite much of their information.
