I saw that in this morning's Yahoo news too. Maybe, considering this is now the second time he's claimed miscalculation, he should be required to go back to school and brush up on his math before he's (and his followers are) permitted any more media publicity.
(Edit, after-thought) Of course, as others have suggested, there's some possibility he'll reach his personal end before that, and (hopefully) that'll be the end of that.
I'm not too concerned about 2012, either. It sounds like most
real experts on the Mayas agree that they never foretold the disastrous end of the world, simply that their calendar would "roll over" back to zero. And quite possibly someone might come up with a new, higher-order, cycle-multiplier to add to their calendar system, so it doesn't even roll over, just adds 1 to the new multiplier.
