Joking aside a misconception that the end of the Mayan Calendar was supposed to mean the end of time.  In their various writings and what not they clearly state that they expect the world to go on thousands upon thousands of years past the end of their calendar, but they never ask anthropologists or archaelolgists on these shows, they ask the crackpot with the Babylon 5 haircut on the history channel. 

The reason the Calendar ends at 2012?  Because like most ancient cultures, the Mayans made things decorative as well as functional.  So they made their calendar round... a huge round stone to be exact....  they ran out of room around 2012.

Carving stuff that small in stone is hard, so they made the thing to last.  I'm saying a few thousand years into the future is a safe stopping point myself.  ;)

I think everyone is aware of this. In fact, there seemed to be more NASA scientists and whatever debunking this, than there were actual crackpots. News had a hard time making anything of it. It's always fun to laugh at survivalists, but you can only laugh so long...

Whats up with this guys hair? Back when I wore my hair long, in the morning, when I first woke up my hair would look like this guys. But before I left the house, the hair would be washed and combed.
Did this guy just wake up and had no idea he was going to be on TV?
