the REAL reason the Mayan calendar ends on Dec.21,2012
once upon atime,there were two Mayan slaves who got lucky. one day while pushing giant blocks of stone used to build the Andean pyramids, they were pulled off the line by their supervisor. he informed them that instead of toiling under the hot sun and the lash of the whip, they had been assigned to a new task. when they reported for duty, they were told that their new job was to chisel marks on a giant round wheel of stone, each mark representing a day in the year. this was the Mayan calender. they were left to their task in a cool dry cave which they made into their home. when they got hungry, they would sneak over to the slave quarter’s kitchen and eat. this went on for months. no one ever checked on them, so they kept on chiseling! it sure beat all that heavy lifting. finally, their old supervisor made an appearance at the mouth of the cave,and boy, was he pissed! he roared,”what the hell are you two doing?” they replied that they were doing what he had told them to do,chisel dates onto the calender. the boss fumed,”that was a one day assignment, you make the marks for the new year, and then you report back!” the slaves chimed in unison “you never told us that, so we just kept on going!”the boss fumed”get back to the pyramids,NOW!” one of the slaves sheepishly asked, “well,can’t we at least finish the year we’re on? we’re almost done.”their supervisor walked over, looked down, and started screaming,”2012.2012? that’s hundreds of years from now;who cares about that? he pulled out his whip and chased them out of the cave.
AND THAT’S THE REASON THE MAYAN CALENDAR ENDS ON DEC.21,2012
Makes sense, dude.
