Back for one day only!

And again we are back, this time for one day only... perhaps. That is if the Mayans were right about there being no need to fill out calendar dates beyond December 21, 2012. As apocalypse predictions are a favorite here among the wondering roots, we couldn't pass on this last opportunity to mention the end days as described by the Mayans. It turns out lots of folks have predicted the end of the world, and some have even predicted multiple dates in the face of repeated failures. Our friends at The Economist have compiled a fun chart of of predictions.









































 Hoards of experts have refuted the idea that the end of the Mayan calendar was intended to predict the end of the world, but that doesn't mean that lots of folks are counting on this prediction to be the one. When interviewed, actual Mayans (yes, they still exist) suggest that the date indicates the onset of a new era. We here at the wondering roots agree, and today are making a new era resolution to begin blogging again. At least until tomorrow.
