Um, I rather prefer my own "long count" on the dooms day calendar which consists of two arguments; one that the universe will keep expanding until it goes entirely dark, or two that the universe will expand until it reaches the point where it will start collapsing. Either view will not have a large impact on Spaceship Earth.
In addition there are several billion human dooms day calendars counting down as we speak. Somewhere millions will meet their doom TODAY through unfortunate or entirely natural means including crimes. The dooms day preppers can relax and still obsess about beefing up their security and
firearms/food/water/livestock/toilet paper preps in case of (Insert your disaster of choice). Now it is only sensible to be somewhat prepared for power outages and huge weather related occurrences. Do stock up on bottled water, at minimum a three day food supply, alternate heat source (fireplace neatly rolled logs of old bills) and keep the car in repair in case the roads are NOT impassable and you know you can drive to the local pizza parlor and sit basking in the relative warmth of their ovens. See? Not so bad.
Was reading a few blogs about the Mayans, fascinating people who really liked numbers and astronomy. The NatGeo has a snippet
showing a discovery of additional numbers that calculate some more and imply further dates. Keep studying people.
I am sure someone will come up with something.

That's how I look at it, we will all meet our end eventually.
Don't forget to keep a emergency kit in your car as well. I have good walking shoes,blanket, matches, candles, that sort of stuff. Ya never know when you might need to stay in your car or walk home.
