Come on. The Mayans most likely ran out of paper when making their calender.

Of course human life on Earth will probably end sooner or later due to nuclear war or some other artificial means, but that will probably not happen for quite a long time.

The maximum amount of time we have is still 5 billion years when our sun becomes a Red Giant, but obviously you need not worry about that.

And if the world ended it would end. I wouldn't worry unless you fear God because there's nothing you could do about it.

can't argue with that logic

Don't be scared. I was a little worried too-but then my friend (who's really smart) told me that people had the same hysteria in 2000 and sometime in the 20th century (I forget when) And nothing blew up. It's just a calender, so I doubt a calender would cause the world to explode.

Yeah, it's just the end of the calendar, not the world

Here's something that might ease your worries: http://scratch.mit.edu/forums/viewtopic.php?id=51311

Among the "doomsdays" people have predicted in recent history:

1984
1992
1999
2000
2003
2006
2011
and now 2012.

So let's all sit back and just accept that no one can predict doomsday correctly.

What's so special about 1984, 1992, 03, 06, and 2011? I know what the others signify.

1984: Something numerology related
1992: Rumors and fear about Halley's Comet flying close to earth
2003: Initially predicted date of the 2012 events
2006: 6/6/06
2011: May 21 (look it up, it's related to the bible)

Actually it has nothing to do with the bible, besides some guy thinking the bible predicts the end of the world.
