It's very similar to what happened in 2000 in the Gegorian calander (in more ways then one) It just rolls over, like your car odometer does at 100,000 miles, like your watch does twice a day at 12:00.

However, we humans have an obession with 'magic' numbers and 2012 is shaping up to be the next big end of the world (non) event. *sigh*

And the bad news is we have 5 long years to listen to hucksters selling us on books, videos, misleading documentaries. Doomsday sells.
Will windows still work or will it be another Y2k meltdown again?:hmm:
Magic numbers....hhmmm, maybe the vikings will win the superbowl with these magic numbers? Where can you get these "magic numbers" you speak of? Wal-mart? Target? Do you need to plant them? Are they IRS proof?
