End of the world: Mayan doomsday resurgence after 'we are technically in 2012' claim

But of course it was our fault for not using the right calendar. What will be the excuse the next time exactly nothing happens?

I'm certainly not an advocate for any apocalyptic event, just thought the article was an amusing distraction from all the other chaos ...

@Philip21 It was. It's just as engaging as Nostradamus' almanac predictions. The strange thing is he still seems to be writing predictions.

I suppose he must have discovered the elixir of life, after all.

I thought it was the culmination and alignment of cycles of the Mayan calendar and had nothing to do with external dating, Julian, Gregorian, Islamic or otherwise!

It's about defining the dates ... you are correct otherwise and it's beyond my ability to explain more. just thought it was interesting ...
