I didn't understand from this article what made them choose 2012 as the year the volcano was going to explode so we'd all die.
Like I said, they're just making up stuff, so they probably chose 2012 because it's already the end of the Maya long-count calendar which a lot of people have already heard of.
Was a frenzy of people on FR posting India Daily crap some months ago, had died down for a while. However, you see a wide variety of Apocalyptikook idiots citing "India Daily" on their websites on the internet, particularly their made-up story with a fake graph claiming there's been a massive increase in undersea volcanoes.
Not certain what is behind the fascination behind India Daily or why people don't realize they're just making up completely false stories - I think it's because the name "India Daily" sounds pretty boring and official, and they've hit upon hot-button topics to fake their stories about.
The fabled Mayan calendar ends at 2012. They ran out of years.
