All these number games make me think of the second most idiotic movie I have ever rented that was a play for making something out of nothing about some number staring Jim Carey.

The world isn't going to end, but the world we knew a minute ago is different than the world of this minute.

I will if I win a free trip. Otherwise, probably not.

Mexico is expecting 52 million tourist to visit just Southern (Mayan) Mexico; usually all of Mexico gets around 25 million. Clusterfuck 2012. But Mexico deserves it, their Ministry of Tourism has taken a beating like no other Ministry of Tourism outside of Iraqistan in the past decade. Swine flu and dufflebags full of heads everywhere? How in the fuck do you sell a pussy market like middle class America on a beach vacation in the midst of all that?

I'll tell you how. With an apocalypse. Americans fucking love apocalypses.

Google this if you want, but I'm 99.99% sure they were beaten by the Mayans - the final epoch of their culture self-destructed into a flailing morass of nepotism, inbreeding, and human sacrifice in the 1420s, even earlier in Guatemala and Belize. The Spanish were lucky little fucks that they didn't have to deal with the Mayan death machine at full force, say, circa 750AD or 1200AD. Although, they did take the Aztecs and Incas, so who knows. But from 300BC to 1420AD, the Mayans were consistently beaten by only one enemy: The Mayans. And the occasional volcano.

That said, I think that everyone who expresses belief that the Mayan 2012 apocalypse is real should have their still-beating hearts ripped out on top of a pyramid. Those people fucking annoy me.

It will be the end of the world for anything foolish enough to allow me to create the following image against my right retina.

Part of what did in the Mayans was the failure of the Milpa system of agriculture. That was slash and burn the rainforest, grow corn and move on. It hit a maximum soil fertility rate and then it could not be replenished since the old burn areas could not go fallow long enough to be used again.

But the Maya did not collapse any more than what was left behind was not maintained or trashed. When you have a religion and leaders who promise a harvest and that does not happen, you have a collapse. It would be like looking at Detroit and saying "What caused the collapse of Detroit civilization?" when all that happened is they regressed and became less prosperous but they are still there.

Plus good portions of that area really are not conquered yet at all. They have been fighting off interlopers for hundreds of years its just that there was no Rage Against The Machine to sing their praises the other times they rebelled.
