According to the Mayan calendar, we all have just one month to live, starting from today.

On December 21st, so the prediction goes, our earth collapses, we disappear in a puff of smoke and are seen no more. OR we could all be transformed into a new age beings. There seems to be a little bit of confusion on an accurate interpretation. But 'end date' seems to be the undisputed phrase relating to our world on that day. As millions of people believe it, and are preparing for it, there is a lot of fear around.

Of course, those of us who have heard it all before, the constant predictions from idiotic sect leaders with hotlines to their gods, I will patiently wait this one out too. I might die on Deceber 21st, but I feel certain that it will be in some other way than my world coming to an end.

So I have a special plea to all those who genuinely believe they are finished on that date. Wy not leave your worldly possessions to me? You certainly won't need it where you are going, and you might even get kudos points for thinking of others less fortunate - Me! - in your last hours.

So how about it? I would be ever so grateful for your charitable generosity, since we are obviously departing the earth on different dates! :o)
