On this day, a really long freakin' time ago, some guy named Larry the Mayan was working away in the local calendar shop when he got the bright idea of making a calendar that was good for a really long freakin' time. He noticed that the guy next door to him, Harold the Mayan, had a lot of roundish stones outside the back of his Invention Shop so he wandered over and got himself the biggest stone he could find. Then started carving dates onto it.
Eventually, his wife, Beatrice the Mayan, walked into the calendar shop and said, "Larry, you've been here for 18 days, carving that stupid stone. I'm sick and tired of bringing you dinner. Stop it and come home."
So Larry stopped what he was doing, took a step back, looked at his creation and said, "Yea, I guess December 21, 2012 is enough for now. I'll come back later and finish it up."
Then, when he stepped out of the door to his calendar shop, he was immediatly run over and killed by Harold's newest invention, the wheel, thus preventing him from doing any further work on his calendar.
And that, my friends, is as reasonable explanation as any as to why the Mayan calendar ends on December 21st, 2012.

I was crusing the interwebs and looking at statistics when I discovered the following:
- In 2009, there were 9,000+ deaths related to firearms.
- In 2009, there were 32,000+ deaths related to motor vehicles.
So before I get off on some rant about banning motor vehicles, lets just get to the links:
- Only in Florida.
- Actually, it might also explain the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy and Ross Perot...
- Here's your Naked Guy not really in the News story.
- This is why Dogs are way better than cats.
