December 21, 2012

The news has been spreading. There has been mounting evidence that the Mayan calendar really does extend beyond December 21st this year.

The calculations include dates some 7,000 years in the future, adding to evidence against the idea that the Maya thought the world would end in 2012—a modern myth inspired by an ancient calendar that depicts time starting over this year.

I'm seriously disappointed! The party that night is now going to be completely underwhelming.

I can't, in good conscience, joke about the end of the world in 7 months time since this revelation. However, I hope that there will be several true believers still wandering about making all sorts of ruckus about the end of time. That gives me some solace.
