If anybody was planning to write a song like "What If The Mayans Are Right", you'd better hurry....

Too late... It was the 21st an hour and 35 minutes ago (at least for me...)

I always wondered because they never specified if it was midnight going INTO the 21st or 11:59pm, and what time zone this is based upon. England will gone before me too, so I hope ROG got my songs done..... or the afterlife has high speed internet.....

As has been said elsewhere--if the Mayans were good at making predictions, there would still be Mayans.

Well, Eddie, my guess is that it would have to be what we Americans call Central time, given that part of Mexico (where the Mayans lived) is in Central time. Not sure if the Mayans adjusted for daylight standard and daylight savings time, though.

So you, Richard and I will depart about the same time. Don Gaynor will be next. Those poor people right ON the time line at GMT proper.....

In a purely bland perspective though, are we not poking fun at the religious beliefs of the 7 or 8 remaining Mayans when we dismiss this with a laugh? I mean just because they called it maize and we call it corn....

Nope. They think it's a joke too.

There are indeed many thousands of Mayan anceatry still living in Guatemala and southern Mexico, and proud they are of it.

Flatfoot,

I think you missed the point, … are modern day Mayans freakin’ out?

I am just wondering about the unlucky few people of Mayan heritage who by coincidence will die on Dec 21st. As they pass through into the afterlife, they will just HAVE to be thinking "Oh man. You mean we were RIGHT?"

No, man.... You got it all wrong. Heaven went fiber-optic years ago. Hell has always been stuck with smoke signals.

Somehow I think we'll "myth out" on a signal from either.

Actually, we were in Mexico a couple of years ago and the way it was explained to us is that it's not the end of the world, it's just the end of the Mayan's counting system. So what happens is the calendar is just getting reset to day 0 and the counting starts all over again. Sort of like older cars whose odometers only had 5 digits and when you got to 100,000 miles, it just reset back to 0. The car didn't explode, but an unsuspecting buyer might end up with a car with 130,000 miles on it instead of 30,000, at which point his head would probably explode.

I don't think the Myans took into account Leap Year so the 5th baktun actually ended several months ago. Welcome to........

Oh dear, here we go: it IS happening. The climate seems to be completely changed over night!
The forecast said firestorms and great balls of fire. Instead we have light snow and rain...
