I suppose we'll find out in 2013...or will we?

This seems to be a very active year already for earthquakes. Days after Chile's 8.8, a 6.4 hits southern Taiwan. Is the end of days coming!? lolz2012!?

You know it's awfully ironic that the Mayans could predict the end of the world but not their own demise.

Exactly

Only fools think the world is going to end. Such as the Mayans.

We all know the only reason their calendar ends at 2012 is because they ran out of stone to crave it on.

maybe they figured out they won't exist by 2012 so why keep going?

Taiwan earthquake measuring 6.4 sparks widespread panic; scores injured but no casualties

Tell that to the Japanese.

One of the most quake-prone countries in the world, Japan has been getting jittery, especially since several ultra-rare deep-sea oarfish have washed ashore.

The huge dragon-like fish, believed to be the genesis of sea monster legends, are a traditional earthquake omen.

They normally remain in the dark depths below 600 feet where they can grow to be 50 feet long. Japanese folklore has long held that whenever a giant oarfish shows up in a fishing net, a major tremor is nigh.

In recent weeks, more than two dozen of the mysterious giant oarfish have washed ashore or been found dead in fishing nets off Japan's northern coast.

the recent quakes were all in the Ring of Fire - the world's most active fault line.

It circles the entire Pacific Ocean, from the tip of South America, up the west coast of the Americas to Alaska, west to the eastern coast of Asia and down to New Zealand.

More than 75% of the world's volcanoes are part of the Ring of Fire and about 90% of the world's earthquakes occur on it.

Most of history's deadliest geological disasters took place along the ring, including the massive 1883 explosion of Krakatoa, which darkened the skies for years, and the 9.5 earthquake that hit Chile in 1960, the biggest quake ever recorded.
