This whole 2012 thing is just the result of an ancient Mayan marketing strategy to force you to get a new B’akt’an calender every 394 solar years. Dec. 21? 2012 is the end of the 12 B’akt’an calender and thus the end of this Long Count. Make sure you get the 13 B’akt’an (=0)calender and you’ll be set for about the next four centuries. The Mayans apparently started using the Long Count in 7 B’akt’an so that they could refer to historical events correctly. So there probably wasn’t a 13 B’akt’an calender ever carved.

There were 6 trucks driving around downtown Friday declaring the end of the world on May 21. I used to drink kool aid 40 years ago.

Mayan is not to reason why?

If your calendar is carved in stone, you better have ones that go a long time before the next one is needed.
If your appointments are carved in stone, you’d better be sure before you make a commitment.

@R_noonan, go buy some Twinkies–they should last a good 10-20 years.

That cartoon did appear to run 21 months early.
Gotta get me an “I survived the end of the world!” tee-shirt to wear the first time on Dec. 22, 2012.
