What if the Mayans were right and it IS the Apocolypse

Considering the bang up year this world has gone through, I started to wonder

if maybe the whole Mayan calendar thing wash't right after all

and we are all fixing to bite the big one

I mean, maybe we just need to adjust for Mayan Daylight Savings Time.

The Mayans believe time goes in circles. The calendar just defined a cycle, and at the end of the calendar time goes into a new cycle.

Which isn't to say we're not fucked - but for entirely different reasons.
