It seems that they got the Mayan Calendar wrong, the end comes October 21st instead of December 21st, but that's more speculation to add to the first date. The end will come when it comes, whether it's before or after, what would it matter anyway?
So does this put a crimp in your Halloween plans or not?

Can we do July 2013? I think I have a week free for the end of the world then...
Either way, even in the prediction-happy cultures (like the mayans), things like the end of a long-count didn't mean the end of the world. It meant the end of an era. The last long-count end didn't spell the end of humanity either. Just the end of a specific 'age'.
Also, keep in mind that they thought they had a lot more time than they did - we could be missing the next long-count wheel because... well.. they thought they had far more time to carve it out.
Those who say 'well, they couldn't predict the conquistadors' are missing the stylings of these types of predictions - the Mayans predicted the general feel of specific times, not exact events.
doh!! a had a great costume for this year too :p
I'll be happily celebrating Halloween wearing whatever costume I get by then, eating taffy apples and candy, watching horror movies, and answering the door for little trick-or-treaters. ♥
