I suspect the Mayan Calendar union went on strike or the Mayan govt had budget cuts.   Anyways anyone "in the know" knows the Earth will end when a large asteroid hits the Earth in 2036 ... or is that 2039?

Nothing will happen? I beg to differ. I imagine buzz will be achieved. That will be momentous.

When you are out West
Please, at my behest
Since you are Nature's guest
Do something to help the rest:

Dismantle a fire ring;
Take a stone and give a swing.
You may find that it will bring
A lift of goodness 'neath your wing.

December 21th will be the end of the world for some 115,000+ folks as that is the average number of people that die/day.  Now for the rest of us the world will go one for better or worse.
