Since you are asking in the Astronomy & Space category, here is a list of astronomical events which are predicted to happen in 2012:
Mars opposition: March 3
Mercury eastern elongation: March 5
Venus eastern elongation: March 25
Saturn opposition: April 15
Mercury western elongation: April 18
Annular eclipse of the Sun: May 20
Partial lunar eclipse: June 4
Venus transit: June 6
Mercury eastern elongation: June 30
Venus western elongation: August 14
Mercury western elongation: August 16
Neptune opposition: August 24
Uranus opposition: September 29
Mercury eastern elongation: October 26
Total eclipse of the Sun: Nov 13
Jupiter opposition: December 2

No apocalypse? No Armageddon? That's because astronomers aren't predicting anything like that. Who are you going to believe: scientists or people trying to sell you books, TV shows, and movies?

The Mayan calendar says the world will end on 12-21-12 unless the 13 skulls that are hidden around the planet are recovered and brought together in some temple (google it) but that's not possible since 1 is already broken. (they're really fragile) I think it's all bull since all the floods, volcanoes, earthquakes that were said already happen. 2012 sounded like the end of the world because the media said it would all happen on the 21st... Not troughout the year.

London olympics ;)
Doubtless some horrible things will happen, but their link to an ancient supposed Mayan 'prophecy' is non-existent.
