souvenirs from the space-time continuum

From John Walker, creator of AutoCAD and now with Fourmi Labs, the Calendar Converter

The Mayans believed at at the conclusion of each pictun cycle of about 7,885 years the universe is destroyed and re-created. Those with apocalyptic inclinations will be relieved to observe that the present cycle will not end until Columbus Day, October 12, 4772 in the Gregorian calendar.

This puts the Rapture Index in a precarious situation. Sustaining the present 155 level, dubbed "Fasten Your Seat Belts", for another 2600+ years is, well, low probablity not to mention stressful. Of course, if I put myself in an apocalyptic mindset, the prior high of 182, hit shortly after 9/11/2001, may just be on a lower quantum scale. "Fasten your Seat belts" indeed!
