I don't get why people are doggin the Myans (even their beliefs that were ABSURD), they NEVER said the world was going to end! "People" (you know WHO I'm talking about, I'm not getting banned) are the ones who put 2+2 together and got 5. Actually, they put 2+X together and assumed it was the end of the world.

Well, we are still here!

I would present that a lot of belief systems are absurd when under the microscope.  I can ridicule all of them on some level.   I think the most intriguing thing about the Mayans is that they had a big urban and obvious civic minded style with advanced architecture and decided to give it up and move into the jungle and go back to nature.  That is fascinating to me, I know scientists speculate a drought or what not.  But one would a society that advanced could do aqueducts.

I think their was big money made off these crisises.  I think people are obsessed with apocalypses.  Just ask Tim LaHaye if this stuff sells.  Books, guns, survival equipment and food all sell well in these times.  A fool and their money are soon parted I guess.

The really ridiculous part is that the other half of the world already went through this yesterday.  They made it.

Well technically the Mayans predicted it would end at 11:11 their time, which would be 6:11 AM EST.  ;)

how are the Mayans 5 hours ahead of EST?  if anything, I'd think they were 1-2 hours behind.

Well, if this is the afterlife then I must've been a particularly bad human being .. it looks a lot like my office!
Stay classy, San Diego. Hello, Baxter? Baxter, is that you? Bark twice if you're in Milwaukee. Is this Wilt Chamberlain? Have the decency to say something.

Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow is a mystery.
Today is a gift...
   That is why it is called the present.

Never fear.  The Congress of the United States, in a spirit of generosity, brotherhood and bipartisanship, are feverishly working together to prevent the apocalypse.
