From a comment in the USA today that the OP linked to:

Interpretation and Confirmation that the end day of Mayan 2012 is sure and near.

Mayan=may-an

may=can=know=knowledge=wisdom

wis=know; -dom=doom=The Judgment Day

an=and=十=X=Jesus Christ

Mayan 2012= know the end day Jesus Christ 2012

wow, just wow.

It was really interesting to read and then the end of the world garbage at the end ruined it for me.

I don't think the author believes the world will end in 2012. It seemed like a tongue-in-cheek reference to all of the folks who believe in that particular numerology.
