Didn't the Mayans say that the world will end, by their calendar, on December 21, 2012? That would be 10 days before the end of Obama's term. Is Obama the last US president? The Chinese i-Ching has the same date. Perhaps it only means the end of America. I don't know about these kinds of things, but Obama has given a lot of people a lot of hope and I think good times are ahead.
It gave me an interesting train of thought. If America collapses permanently, what happens to wayguks in Korea?
Will you still be making big bucks teaching, or will you be reduced to Hamill like status? What would happen to Korea for that matter?
I think Korea would easily bounce back to Chosun like times. |

| Well the calendar was obviously wrong. Their world ended way before 2012! |

Indeed. It ended somewhere around the year 2000BC. |

The Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire began in February 1519 and was achieved on August 13, 1521 by conquistadors led by Hern�n Cort�s.
The Mayan calendar does not end in 2012 at all, that it is like the odometer on your car, as each section of the odometer reaches 9 and then clicks over to 0, the next number to it starts a new cycle, so that when all the numbers again reach 0 all the way across the odometer - the last number will change from 1 to 2 and the new cycle starts all over again. |
