Well, We Made It!

If you're reading this, the physical end of the world did not come on Dec. 21. Just like it did not come on May 21, 2011, or Oct. 21, 2011, or Sept. 6, 1994. So many everyday people, scientists, media outlets and pundits of all stripes misunderstood or misrepresented the implications of the Mayan calendar that supposedly predicted the end of the world. History that old is kind of difficult to decipher, after all. Plus it made for lots of sensational headlines and gave the Doomsday crowd plenty to keep itself busy.
