2012: Fact and Fiction

The Mayan calendar of ancient times ends When December 12 of this year rolls around Old prophesy: or nothing but a clerical error? Trembling Earth and volcanic fire raining down Hurricanes sweeping paths of utter destruction Outer space invading our fragile atmosphere Ultimate destruction; *****Sapiens extinction Stinging rain of fire and ice scouring the Earth An end to life as humans know it; a new start Nothing left but ashes, dust and sorry survivors Destruction on scales unseen though out history The bureaucratic scribe keeps the Mayan calendar What happens when important business comes in? Everyone suspends work on the make work project Leaving the date at the last day to be penned Visited by destruction the Mayan culture dies Enter what amounts to a Typographical error
