Will the world end in 2012, like the Mayan Calenda

This! In fact...the descendents of the Mayans are pissed that Guatemala is leveraging the fear of the end of the Mayan calendar to boost tourism. I guess it goes something like...visit Guatemala when the world ends...hang out where the ancient Mayans did!

But seriously...even when you dig into the Mayan calendar, you find that it has nothing to do with an apocalypse and more to do with them never finishing the calendar. And even if you try to claim that the calendar is accurate, it's been said that the Mayan calendar doesn't take into account leap years and daylight savings. So...technically, we've already passed the expiration date set by the Mayan calendar if you believe the doomsday theory.

I had no idea What he first two pages were goin through...Jesus...Hella awkward.

my teacher taught us this in 4th grade so that was 1993 or 1994. We were learning about the Mayans. I remember thinking...I'll be 28 and old and married with kids by then so who cares...I'm only 1 out of 4. Ah naivety.
