They did say they will revisit the situation but it could be a 1000 years before that happens. Life is tough when you're a Mayan public servant at least you weren't picked for a sacrifice.

    As for global warming, who gives a damn. I don't think we need a reason to stop pumping crap into our environment when there are ways not to. Biggest problem is it hits the big boys in their wallet so there is no way they'll do it unless forced to.
    Well said on all counts Greg!

    Funny on the first part I picture a Dilbert cartoon where he's dressed as a Mayan Cilvil servant...lol...thanks for that!!!!

    really?

    At least 3 times in my life, I've heard and did NOT prepare for IDENTICAL tales of this apocalypse...the dates have passed and I'm still typing. I remember the Mayan calendar being the definitive source for this destruction as well....

    For me, these types of things are just like bad farts.... after the initial "Hey do you smell something?"......they go away pretty fast and leave no destruction in their paths. Course this could be a diarrhea fart.

    Okay I think we should start a new poll:
    "Should Marko change Michalaw's label to read "King of the Fruit Bats"?"

    I vote 'yes!'.

    It reminds of various BTVS seasons where the apocolypse was always averted. So perhaps others, of which we are unaware, are saving us from destruction!!!

    Perhaps Marko will give us the ability to change our own title? Say after 100 posts, or something along that line?

    You guys are interesting characters, posting a poll like this and responding to a poll like this in a photography forum. Is there something about photography that makes us philosophical? I thought about the question and how to reply all day today. The real question for me is: why aren't we living our lives as if the world will end tomorrow? We should be, in my opinion. And so if the world ends in 2012, who cares. Nothing will change.
