The Mayan celendar 2012 thing was peak end of the world bullshit.
Macho Man Randy Savage got raptured that day.
*no wait I'm revising that. There were a couple Armageddon days that year. My friends and I apparently celebrated the summer solstice one..... by getting hammered and giggling about Xenu.
We heard about the Macho Man dying on the radio the next morning and realized the rapture was very, very limited. Good times. (non-wiki link.)

That one was my favorite. My friends and I threw a doomsday party with beer and pizza and pretended to be shocked when nothing happened.
I guess we weren't sexy enough to make the apocalypse come.
