There's been some silliness on this thread and I wanted to verify some of the data so of course I turned to 
Microsoft.  I brought up the calendar on my XP system and slowly advanced the year forward.  As it ticked to 2013 I 
breathed a sigh of relief, but 45 minutes later my heart stopped when I saw that Microsoft was predicting the end of 
the world in 2099!  Ok maybe not the end of the world ... apparently there is going to be some tear in the fabric of 
space and time that leads us back to 1980, but that's almost as bad!

For 'cal', it is the year 5875707.

It seems more optimistic...
