Mayan Apocalypse: It's On!

Bad news, readers.  After snarkily dismissing the Mayan prediction that the world ends on December 21st, I have to eat a big helping of crow.  The National Geographic "B" team struck unfortunate pay dirt in another Guatemalan cave.

The world WILL END on December 21st, and the Mayans even showed the form of the Destructor back in the 5th Century B.C.


Sorry to bum you all out this close to Christmas.  But it doesn't appear Christmas is coming in any way we would have expected.  It will most likely look like this.

Have a great most-of-a-week-that's-left.  I'm going to sign off now and eat a few boxes of frozen Girl Scout Thin Mints.  I suggest you do the same.

  1. So I shouldn't try to return all those rolls of duct tape and expired canned goods from the last apocalypse?

    1. If we somehow make it through next week, we'll want to hold on to the stockpile in case Windows 8 turns into Skynet.

  2. Well, looks like I'll be taking Marx's advice-"Fill up the Martini jugs and head for the hills."
    Groucho Marx, that is.

    1. Great plan! Be sure to take your favorite typewriter to leave notes about the end times for whatever aliens find our husk of a planet and a good watch because accuracy is important.

  3. Ah yes, the Mayan Pyramid Transformers. We wondered when they would return . . .

    1. Thank goodness for Claire! National Geographic has been running short of funds and crowd-sourced image analysis from the B-Team's live video feed. Claire spotted this incontrovertible evidence before anyone else. It won't change the outcome, but at least we know what is coming. Uncertainty is worse. The thought of Nyan cats dropping down from above was keeping me up at night. Giant robots I can handle.
