:lol: Ahh, but the day is still young!

I happened to be in Cozumel, Mexico a couple of weeks ago with some LTGers, and cjd-player took the Mayan tour. Carl had a good discussion with the Mayan guide, a Mayan indian obviously. The guide spoke 5 or 6 languages and was sharp as a tack. Carl eventually had to ask about the 12/21 prediction and the Mayan laughed his tail off telling Carl that it was all a very comical crock of dung. The guy told Carl that the Mayan calander was divided into sets of years, similar to a decade, or a century, or the Chinese Year of the Dragon, and the Mayan belief is merely that the 21st of December starts a new set of years or a brand new century or something along those lines.

The only ones not worried are the Mayans. :lol: :lol: :lol:

I heard the author of 12.21:A Novel speak at a book signing (which I went to because his step-mother cuts my hair) and he had a long list of reasons why the so called Maya Apocalypse was a fabrication based upon misunderstanding and misinformation. He noted that the Maya in today's world are amused by the whole thing and don't believe it themselves. But the core truth is the end of a cycle and the fabrication begins when people assume there is no next cycle.

Was gonna ask if there were any signs....earthquakes, tsunamis, firey objects falling from the skies...when I realized that would all just be par for the course around the pacific rim... :lol:

There's still a few hours left in the day, so I suppose I should hold off on ordering one of these so as not to jinx things...
