This is good. Yeah I know for a fact that nothing (well we shouldn't all die for one thing!) will happen on this date! According to the Mayan Calendar this date (21/12/2012) will be 13.0.0.0.0 (The calendar goes up to 20.0.0.0.0).
The Mayan numbering system was based on 20's not 10's like ours.
13 is actually an unlucky number (where something bad will happen) in our society not in the Ancient Mayan one (The Mayans included 26 I think).
Astronomically I think this date refers to the Alignment with the Milky Way but I think we'll be alright.
RE: Favourite Accent??
Yeah you kinda need the real thing there mate!G'day!
I don't mind a lady with a French accent or just one that can speak another language.
