#16  Why the hell am I not asking people for their worldly possessions before the end? Somebody has got to be stupid enough.

#14  Of course the calendar doesn't end, like ours doesn't end on Dec 31st.
The Mayan calendar (long count) has been there before but we're still around.

But if you like to sell me your life insurance for 10% of its value, I'm game.

#12  The 21st is a payday Friday

They call it stormy Monday,
But Tuesday's just as bad.
...
The quetzalcoatl flies on Friday,
On Saturday, I go out and play.

#2  The Mayans were off by a month and 15 days.

#1  I read that the Mayans didn't understand "Leap Year" so the time has passed months ago, NO PANIC HERE.
