12 12 12

December 12 is the 346th day of the year (347th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. Today is the twelfth day of the twelfth month of the twelfth year, a date that only comes around once every century. There are 19 days remaining until the end of the year. Oh no, hold on:  the Ancient Mayan calendar speaks of 12-12-2012 as the end of times as we know it, and the beginning of a new cycle of evolution for planet earth, humanity and the cosmos. Mayan elders say that the Ancients were informing the modern world to be ready for a giant transformation for the human race. Interestingly, traditions across the world including Buddhism, Tao, Hopi and Vedic knowledge predict a ‘Golden Age’ or ‘Satyug’ in their calendars around the same period. December 2012 is being looked upon as a significant spiritual event and a momentous shift in the collective consciousness of the planet.

Right ...

Fortunately, there is also earthier news ...

Twelve on 12/12/12 ... Happy birthday, kids. 

THESE 12 youngsters are turning 12 today which is, of course, 12/12/12. And most of them expect to blow out the candles on their birthday cakes at 12.12pm.

For Lucy Roberts, her birth was yet another 12, with mum Wendy in labour for 12 hours."I'm hoping that seeing as I'm 12 on the 12-12-2012 that I might be lucky enough to get 12 presents," Lucy said.
Kings Langley twins Christian and Daniel Marman are on to that trick, too. Mum Elaine said the pair "are using the occasion to leverage better presents".

Northern beaches tweens Jaime Sinclair, Sophie Thomas, Claudia Bowden and Riley Wilson, who will all attend Barrenjoey High School together next year, share their birthday today. It's been a long time coming for Claudia, who worked out she would turn 12 on 12/12/12 when she was nine. "It's not going to happen for another 100 years so it's pretty special," Claudia said. "All my friends are talking about how lucky I am, saying they wish their birthday was on a special day as well. "I'm hoping that I will have something good happen." Claudia, Jaime and Sophie all met at dance class and "just clicked", before discovering they share their birthday.

A record 123 couples are also registered to marry today at the Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages - more than on January 1, 2001 and 08/08/08.

So, where will you be at 12:12 pm on 12/12/12?
