We ended up buying the same shoes. --- End quote --- Except they bought them on the oddly specific "no one must buy identical shoes day" simply because they needed to rebel against the system; effectively making the "don't buy identical shoes day" make them want to buy identical shoes. BOOM IT'S IRONIC. |

You wouldn't expect us to make a calendar to the year 281, 474, 976, 712, 644 AD, would you? Bonus points if you get the reference without Googling it. The Mayan calendar just happens to theoretically run out on that date. However, as several people have pointed out, their calendar has actually run out already, due to leap years. --- End quote --- Oh and not to mention that supposed "dark ages making stuff up" problem. AKA The Phantom Time theory. It's speculated that we're actually adding potentially 290 years of our history that is absolute bullstuff because during the middle ages they either on accident or through misinterpretation added a lot of stuff that didn't actually happen. So in reality, on our Gregorian calender, it should actually be about the year 1722. Now whether or not this means that 2012 simply hasn't happened yet or not, I think it's obviously clear that if it is true then obviously we can't trust humans with recording or predicting stuff as they added 290 years of nonsense already. Why trust the Mayans? They could just have easily forgeted it all up. |

What I meant was: why even bother trusting them to be right with the time they've supposedly given us. If you're really hellbent on believing they somehow knew the world was going to end, how can you even be sure they were accurate? |
