Well, you know what we all have to do now? Gotta invent a new doomsday legend, otherwise the History Channel won't have any good programming on some random day of the year.
I say we make up some new stone tablet, bury it in a mountain some place and not "discover" it for another 30-50 years. In the meantime we can build up the hype with vague annecdotes and other silly stories that will make the newly discovered doomsday that much more plausible to our future acquaintances.
With small investments of silliness here and now, we can get maximum return on insanity in the future!

2 possibilities:
1 - We slept through it
2 - they were off by as much as a year.. so we still have to "worry" until next December
I already saw a joke somewhere.....
The Mayans would have finished the calendar if the Spanish hadn't invaded them!!!

The show Beyond the Fringe (early 60s) had an end-of-the-world sketch that ended:
It was Greenwich mean time, wasn't it?
Well, same time next week? We must get it right one of these days.

I think that the apocalypse was cancelled due to lack of interest.

I don't know about anyone else, but I want my money back. I had bought tickets for the front row and was sorely disappointing.

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.

It;ll come when we finish paying off our bills. The banks have the deed to the end of the world.

That's one reason we either move or refi. The banks won't let the world end as long as we owe on our mortgage, so not to worry, it won't happen for a long time. Even when a bank goes under, we always wind up owing the money to someone new... :?

To err is human, to blame it on somebody else shows management potential.
