It's the 21st here and has been in New Zealand for several hours. Is this a regional apocalypse, or perhaps the Mayan version of April Fools Day? :mrgreen:

Come on! You're an illuminatus (judging by your rank title) and you don't know the truth?

You'd better not believe that 'end of the world bulls**t' and get those Christmas stockings ready!

How do I know?

I assume they were going by NA timezone when they made that prediction. It will still be the 21st in NZ when it happens anyway 8-[

So are you guys telling me you're not already hiding in your apocalypse shelters with your tinned fruit and baked beans?

Yeah... me neither. :oops:

People are making end of the world jokes like there's no tomorrow.

Yeah I remember reading about that Mayan prediction. Too bad they couldn't predict their civilization was going to be extinct. ;)

I've been hard at work training for the end of the world, aka Zombie Apocalypse... and this ain't it! Better put some more hours into Dead Island I guess just in case the end of the world is running a bit late.

Oh well... if the end is near... it's been nice knowin' ya's all.... :mrgreen:

I was in Mexico in February. You'll have to tell the tour guide that showed my group and I around at Chichen Itza. He being a local and all and telling us tourists that, he should know you know more than him about the land he grew up in.

Was he a Mayan? ;)

I just re-read your post and you do specifically say "Mayan civilisation", so you're correct (the word "extinct" threw me for a loop as it's a little weird to use that about a civilisation rather than eg. a people). Just adding that though the Mayan civilisation is no longer much of a civilisation, the Mayans as a people and a culture still exist: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mayan

On a side note, the Mayan civilisation crumbled a fair bit of time before the Spanish arrived.
