last thing I'm saying on this thread to the naysayers and doomsday worriers: (from elsewhere on the internet)
"There have been about 514 Leap Years since Caesar created it in 45BC. Without the extra day every 4 years, today would be July 28, 2013. Also, the Mayan calendar did not account for leap year...so technically the world should have ended 7 months ago."
So, there ya have it! We've already made it! Welcome the the new b'ak'tun... B)
