What are you people saying? The Mayans are perfectly right about the date when the world will end!
Of course, it will start with an earthquake. And Lenny Bruce will not be afraid. But for some reason, I feel fine about that.
Seriously, people, there's no reason to accept the Mayans' word on the subject just because they made a calendar. I'm pretty sure we've all lived through at least one prophecy about the end of the world as we know it already. (If my link button were working right the word 'one' would link you to the wikipedia entry for Nostradamus, but right now you'll just have to use your imagination.)
As far as I'm concerned, the end of the world as we know it is just a happy little song at this point.
