    1) fingers crossed for zombies. We are getting close people! Remember the rules for the zombie apocalypse: keep the cardio going and always buckle up.

    2) If you really understand the Mayan calendar it is about the end of an "age" so to speak and the beginning of another. I cant remember the dates but the last "age" ended during recorded civilization and here we still are. We are also superimposing our modern views on to this situation. We see the world in a linear fashion: everything has a beginning and an end. The Mayans (as did a lot of ancient civilizations) viewed the world in a more cyclical manner: birth, death, re-birth. Think of the seasons, rotation of the planets, etc. So the Mayans would most likely never believe in an actual "end" to the world but rather an ending of one era or age and the birth of another one. Of course there could be a new era without humans I suppose.

    Well since Im so bored that Im poking holes in my own argument I think Ill call it a night
