They found more of the Mayan calendar that goes past 2012.

Looks like the Archeologists were cutting it close.

E36 M3 - and here they went and killed Dick Clark so we couldn't ring in the new year. I guess they didn't do the homework first.

Damn it! And I was looking forward to buying beachfront property near Arizona Bay for my 27th birthday (which is only a few days after the world ends)!

THE MAYAN CALENDER NEVER ENDS. IT JUST REPEATS!

Whats that remind you of? Maybe our calender? Ours ends every year, but the world doesn't end with it.

Until that damned asteroid hits in 2032.

But that's alright, I've had plenty of practice.

The fact is, we are in the Last Days! For the exact date, no one can tell. Neither man nor Jesus knows when. Only the Father in Heaven knows.

We had already started planning an "End of the World" party at our house.

Guess we'll just have to have a party.

erm...kinda like how we are born dying? some of us take decades to die, others not so much, but youre always spending the finite time you have?

so its safe to say that all of the days have been the last of them? even thousands of years ago, they were still the last days.

basically, we should just cal them "the days", since all of them are the last...theyre really just whats left

Damn, I was planning on stealing a ZR1 out of a dealership, driving it around a track until I crashed it, and then getting obliterated on really expensive whiskey stolen from the liquor store. Guess that'll all have to wait until the next time the world is supposed to end.

I heard that Snooki (from Jersey Shore) is due to have her baby on 12/21. Coincidence?

Oh wow. I guess I do need to be scared E36 M3less. Thanks for straightening me out on that one, RihanB.
