December 21st, 2012

I have been reading some weird comments on a "news" site that is apparently frequented by idiots, and there were a bunch of posts about 2012.  Everyone is so worried that the end of the world is coming and that we will all die.

I like watching all of the end of the world shows on the History and Discovery Channels, so have thought about this before.  What if the Mayan calender ends on December 21st, 2012 because the guy got bored?  What if he thought, "This thing repeats 5 times.  If they don't get it by now, then screw 'em."

Or, what if he got offered a better job in another town?  Maybe his wife gave him an ultimatum, "If you don't leave that damn calender alone, I'm leaving you and taking the kids to my mother's!"  Maybe he died.

There are many reasons that he might have stopped writing the calender, and I'd be willing to bet that the end of the world isn't one of them.
