I think my favourite bit about 2012 was how, supposedly, all the richest, most powerful people in the entire world had made secret plans for a world-wide disaster that would make every volcano on Earth explode at once, and set up a secret evacuation plan that depended entirely on being unable to land and refuel in... drum roll... Hawaii.

OK, the bit where they announced that they were about to hit the tip of Mount Everest in a boat was pretty hilarious too.

And the bit where it turned out that Africa was OK after all.
