I always figured Godzilla as an admirer of Utzon's work.  G

Worse still, I now have a cold, so I don't feel like partying like it's the end of the world.

Still, at least if it's only the Aussies that get it, civilisation will be saved.  G

So realistic it's not true.

Hey, some people will believe anything, even the world ending this way - wiped out by a massive cliche!  G

The Mayans were actually pretty good at predicting events. For instance they correctly predicted that BL would offer a fifth-gear option on the Austin Metro in 1987.

What they actually predicted was that '86-87 would be a 'boom year' ....so they were right on that count, just not that it would be restricted to a minor nations nationalised motor industry.  G

The World is ending. Before I go, I must let you all know that St John's Wood underground station is the only station in London that doesn't contain letters from the word Mackerel.

Thankyou Jamie , I could not have gone on, not knowing that.

Do the Mayans have anything to say about a DAC555 ?

Mayan Klaas?

She is Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi, a Chilean-born girl who was raised by Italian-American parents on Staten Island, NY, and became the "star" of a reality TV aberration called "Jersey Shore", which details the mawkish hi-jinx of a group of "guidos" (Italian-Americans) from northern New Jersey and Staten Island, the latter of which is my home town. I believe the combined IQ of everyone on the show totals in the 85-90 range, and it is an embarrassment to Americans of Italian heritage, especially putting my home town in a bad light...

 

The fact that this troglodyte was able to breed seemed indicative of the veracity of the Mayan apocalyptic predictions.

 

Disclaimer: I have never watched the show (nor would I ever), but it generated  enough publicity in the USA that one could easily find out about it.  A sign of the demise of the American Empire.  (One of many.)

Dr Mark, I enjoyed reading your last post, and your points regarding such programmes and their effects on the rest of us (I'm sure my IQ is at least a little over 85-90) will be remembered by me. I'm sure your home town has enough going for it to weather this storm of the morons. Tony

Terrifyingly, it is becoming less and less accurate to refer to the show as an "aberration".

I've just driven through Middlesbrough.

The Mayans were right.
