"I like to imagine that for months now somewhere in the Yucatan peninsula people have been saying “Oh shit, man! The white people’s calendar ends on December 31st!!” and then howling with laughter, because somehow it’s hilarious every time." - Mike Hoye

''December 21st 2012 is much like your December 31 and New Year’s. You say, ‘Happy New Year!’ and then get up the next day.''

- Don Alejandro Cirilo Pérez Wakatel Utiw (Wandering Wolf)

(Quiche Maya from the highlands of Guatemala, Wandering Wolf serves as: leader of the National Mayan Council of Elders of Guatemala; Day Keeper of the Mayan Calendar; 13th generation Quiche Mayan Spiritual Leader; a founder and Grand Elder of the Continental Council of Elders & Spiritual Guides of the Americas; Extraordinary Ambassador in the Guatemalan government representing the indigenous pueblos; and an international lecturer on Mayan culture.)

So I wouldn't be surprised :-)

Well, some of us get up. The rest stay in bed groaning and periodically begging somebody to shoot those goddam tweeting birds.

Joke from a BBC Friday night comedy show: If the Mayans were able to predict the future, then we would still have Mayans...

We do still have Mayans. But hey, going by that logic, maybe one day we won't have white people!

Well, yes.
