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.

De Volkskrant said many of those interviewed are stocking up on emergency 
supplies, including life rafts and other equipment.

Some who spoke to the newspaper were optimistic about the end of 
civilization.

"You know, maybe it's really not that bad that the Netherlands will be 
destroyed," Petra Faile said. "I don't like it here anymore. Take 
immigration, for example. They keep letting people in. And then we have to 
build more houses, which makes the Netherlands even heavier. The country 
will sink even lower, which will make the flooding worse."

A government spokesman confirmed that, indeed, Muslim persons were larger 
and heavier than the average Dutch citizen.
