It’s the exact day that climate change becomes irreversible. Duh.
We now only have five shopping days left to do something about this.
Perhaps if we camped out all night in front of Best Buy or Target or WalMart the night before?
EXTRA: I just figured out why the Mayans were right about December 21, 2012! |

I suspect as the Mayans were chiseling out the calendar on stone there was a discussion…
Slave Chiseling Stone: “Shall we get another stone and do the year after 2012 (or however the Mayans labelled the years)?”
Priest-in-charge: “I shall go an consult the High Priest.”
Prient-in-charge: “Oh high priest, we believe solstice 2012 is a good date to stop chiseling the calendar. It’s well in the future, we can always add another stone in a couple of thousand years. If we continue after that date we shall have to feed the slaves for another few weeks.”
High Priest: “Yes we need to control any potential deficit in the Slave funds, they are not cheap to feed. The Mayan Agribusiness keep raising the price of save food, they want another gold piece for every 5 pounds of McMayan burger they consume.”
High Priest: “Ok, no more stone, and sacrifice all the slaves when they are finished as agreed. Tell the salves we are going for another 10 years on the calendar. We don;t want them running away.”
Priest-in-Charge: “Yes boss, do you need help sharpening the sacrificial knives?”
Love it!
