WTF is wrong with people? What is this Mayan apocalypse people keep speaking of? Nowhere, NOWHERE in Mayan society did they ever predict an end to the world when their calendar ends. And just like our calendar ends every year, it's not the end, it's the end of the 13th Baktun and the start of the 14th.

There's even plenty of evidence to suggest the Mayan calendar wasn't Mayan at all. Even the Maya themselves said they did not create the calendar and that it was handed down to them.

People believe in stupid things because most people are incredibly stupid. There's a sucker born every minute and the bastards who keep peddling armageddon are all rolling in cash as a result of it.

The only people I've seen getting all wet about this is the media.

Instead of an Earth-shattering Kaboom we could always end up going out with just a gentle sucking slurp.....
