You have nothing to worry about. The only thing that will  happen in 2012 is 
that Alex will be suddenly transported to Guatemala  where the Mayans will 
attempt to sacrifice him, the gods will be insulted  and then wipe them out 
in 
disgust at being given such a ridiculous windbag  as an offering.

And the fun is just beginning.
