As I remember it, there's even a prophecy in the I-Ching somewhere that predicts the world will end in 2012.
Some statistician graphed the I-Ching out, and when laying it out so that the X-axis represented dates and the Y-axis represented the severity of events, he was able to plot things out like major wars and extinctions and all that. But the graph suddenly stopped...12-21-2012...
I can't find the direct link to it, since I spotted this on The History Channel. But there are blogs out there where people talk about it. Here's one that sums it up pretty nicely:

The combination of lines can be looked up in a book to produce surprisingly accurate answers to whatever question was asked. One day a scientist randomly decided one day to graph the change of the I-Ching lines, repeat it 64 times, the number of line combinations, and place it on a time line starting at I-Ching's conception. (Don't ask me why. He must've been crazy bored.) He found that peaks and valleys in the graph corresponded to major events in history like both World Wars. He also found that the graph ended exactly on December 21, 2012.
