Does the Mayan Calendar predict a McCain win?
After all, there's a cottage industry devoted to the hypothesis that the Mayan Calendar predicts the world will end in 2012. If McCain gets elected, I'd say there's a pretty decent chance that we'll find ourselves in the middle of a new World War by then, involving Iran and Russia. Maybe it starts off conventional, then goes nuclear in 2012.

Who knows, just sayin.... :tinfoilhat:

1. Nah. It doesn't mean the world will end.
Obama will win the presidency and 2012 will signal a complete change on the planet - a new beginning. I interpret the Mayan calendar 'ending' as a positive, not a negative.

3. Agreed.
Change is often emotionally perceived as Death, multiply that perception by 10s of thousands of people and you have the End of Time scenario associated with the Mayan Calendar.

I'm going to suggest that the Mayan calendar...
doesn't predict anything other than tomorrow's date.

2. Yeah. I notice it failed to predict them all dying of thirst, though.

4. The Mayan calendar ends like ours does ...
... only it's 6226 times as long.

So hanging it on a thin nail in a car repair shop can be a real bear. And the cheesy broad on the cover is still Miss Yax-Ki'n 0.0.0.0.8

--p!
... tonight we're gonna party like it's 12.19.6.14.19 ...
