2012 is coming! STOCK UP!
negative creep:
So to write the current date in a similar way you'd have to say 3.1.1.8.3.29? Third millenium, first century, first decade, 8th year, Third month, 29th day. Am I getting it now?
Switchblade:
exactly

Man, Handmaid's Tale was a depressing day by day account of American pseudo Christian-Islam.

Actually, Jeph, oil-wise, I don't think there would be a problem. Six billion human skeletons and who knows how many animal skeletons? Not as much from each as a dinosaur fossil, but I have little doubt that there were fewer dinosaurs, since more space was required to keep each one alive. And that is just the animals alive now. Not the ones that are already dead.

It seems quite possible that the Mayans' adherence to mathematical principles at the expense of cooperation with natural phenomena had a lot to do with their disappearance and inability to survive as a culture. If anything, the approach of 2012 and the end of their calendar should remind us to live more cooperatively with the world around us, instead of trying to force it to adhere to our ideas of order.
