Y’know, a “long count” boundary does seem a logical place to end a calendar, doesn’t it? I can hear the Maya priest/astronomers now: “Hey, when we get there, we’ll make another calendar.”
Bet you can get one real cheap, if you pass the word that after 21 December, there ain`t gonna be any more *air*; worth a try…….

The Democrats, not the Mayans, will bring on the end of the age.

So,
we don’t need to worry about the fiscal cliff, then?
Now,
let’s imagine how the French will treat their rescuers after a few years. You know, surly, dismissive, and full of contempt for the rich, arrogant, unsophisticated aliens.

I predict that Christmas shopping traffic will go ballistic on Dec 22.

This is my theory, which is mine*:
The Mayans did not predict the end of the World,
they just got heavily into recycling and stone tablets were non-renewable.
(What? Keep your shirt on. I’m comin’ to that.)
As I was a-sayin’, they got heavily into recycling, so the plan was to use the same calendars but they’d count backward this time. They could then re-use the stone tablets forever!
(What? Well, yeah, or they could start back at the beginning and keep a log of which cycle they were on. You know, add another digit on the left side of the ol’ odometer. Hey, it was a good plan until the Conquistadors showed up.)

Would one o’ you extra schmart PM’s pleeez tell my how a ‘shelter’

or comet, etc crashes into the earth & destroys it!
To me, the only reliable guide to this event is the Las Vegas
‘bookies’. Ennybuddy know what the odds are at this time?
The American calendar predicted this Tuesday, November 4, 2008.

Or be like the cult member who was found under the sink , hiding behind the Comet.
Something must be happening— gas is under $3 all over town.
Is everybody in their shelters or just not driving because they can’t afford it??
