Mayan non-apocalypse…
Well, we’re still here. Of course, the Mayans never actually claimed the world would end, a fact apparently unknown to a great many people, including school officials in Michigan. The long-count calendar is only one of many calendars the Mayans developed. How depressing is it that we are flooding NASA with concerned phone calls? The Mayans descendants aren’t worried. The media is disappointed, facing the possibility it will have to do actual reporting on real world problems.
If the world continues, we’ll see more of the doomsayers adjust to a position of saying this was merely the end of an era. New Yorkers, and no doubt many Californians, are looking to hook up against the end. If you still want to worry about it, here are some potential disasters to fret over. Andrew Malcolm amusingly notes some of the things which The End would have spared us from. Of course, the night isn’t over yet…
UPDATE: Since it appears we’ll make it, have some other doomsday predictions that didn’t happen.
