Are we talking about the earth? I have always looked at "world" as something larger than "earth".

Our world is our earth seeing as we do not live anywhere else, as of now.
A room without books is like a body without a soul.
Facts are meaningless. They can be used to prove anything that is even remotely true.
Go then, there are other worlds than these.

If this thread lasts till the end of 2012, we will have to change the title of it.

Is it even possible to change thread titles beyond marking them as solved?

Going back to the question at hand, i doubt the planets lining up would cause the magnetic poles of the earth to move. There would have to be an extremely powerful event to cause that to happen. But the planets moving into a line would be a field day for astronomers, but i just can't see the world panic-ing over a calender that stops in 2012. Scarily enough in 2012, the last place in England (South East & London region) turns over to digital TV. So that could be the issue that the Mayans where predicting....

Yes, mods can change them. And I will change this one in January 2013 if I'm still around.

[edit]Oops! No I can't because I don't monitor Geek's Lounge. Here I'm just like anyone else (almost)[/edit]
