Don't want you all to wet the bed or anything, but...drumroll...it's now 2012!
 So, do you think the Notion Club Papers are about to be located? They were found in a sack of old paper after the Oxford summer exams in 2012. And...the New Bodleian is currently undergoing an extensive refurb and rebuild. What might they find? My hope is that if any old Tolkien papers are found that deal with time travel they will pass them on to Steven Moffat as a massive hint.

Just a note: these "Mayan prophecies" are more in the nature of urban rather than actual myths...

In case my meaning isn't clear: the ancient Mayans did not *really* predict a 2012 apocalypse, and as far as I know the belief they did is of recent date– I think Tolkien would have had to be able to see into the future to know about that in the first place!

It is all viewed with a highly cynical mind, you can rest assured
I think the only breakdown that's likely to occur this December is when the internet starts to run slow because of geekly ire once they see Tauriel in The Hobbit.

Cracking the Tolkien Code
The Tolkien book fans will watch the Hobbit movie and so great will be their fury that the world will be rent asunder, and the sea will roar in through many chasms, and there will be confusion and noise; and rivers will perish or find new paths, and the valleys will be upheaved and the hills will be trod down.
