According to the Mayans, the world is coming to an end. That's right, we'll soon be joining all our favorite files, up in the cloud.
You've probably encountered some form of the story by now. The last day on the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar, better known as the Mayan calendar is Dec. 21, 2012 (at least, that's the theory).
It could be a global catastrophe; it could be a transformative evolutionary event; or it could just be another in the long line of days where we all wake up, do some stuff and then go back to sleep. Fortunately, most scientists favor the "nothing's going to happen" theory.
Even though we're probably safe, it never hurts to be prepared. Check out the gallery above, where you'll find valuable online resources to help make the most of what could be your last month on this goodly frame, the earth. The last few slides are for you survivors who plan to defy death and brave the apocalypse.
What do you think will happen on Dec. 21? Give us your theories and tell us how you're preparing in the comment section below.
