The end of the world again?

There's a new brouhaha raging about the end of the world as we know it. The new date is December 2012. That was the end of the Mayan calendar.

You remember the Mayans, they were the guys who ripped out living human hearts as offerings to the Gods. They liked kid's hearts best because they considered them pure. Their kids must have been a lot different than the ones today.

Now the Mayans are trying to weasel out of the whole thing. Sure, now that it's only a few years away. It was much easier to be confident in 900 AD.

Doomsayers are running around coming up with new proofs; da Vinci, I Ching, tea leaves, Dan Brown. After all, there are books coming out, movies being released, probably songs to be sung. Lot's of money to be made between now and 2012, especially by Dan Brown.

As for me, I think the Mayans didn't want to count any higher. Let's face it, chiseling all that math in stone must have been a real pain in the butt.

Status: Unchanged, still working on the old stuff.
