Many Dutch prepare for 2012 apocalypse - UPI.com: "AMSTERDAM, Netherlands, June 23 (UPI) -- Thousands of people in the Netherlands say they expect the world to end in 2012, and many say they are taking precautions to prepare for the apocalypse.
The Dutch-language de Volkskrant newspaper said it spoke to thousands of believers in the impending end of civilization, and while theories on the supposed catastrophe varied, most tied the 2012 date to the end of the Mayan calendar, Radio Netherlands reported Monday."

So I guess a 30 year mortgage is a pretty good deal after all. If you get one today, it is really only a four year loan at less than 6% interest. This could turn the housing market around.
