Love the cartoon that showed the two Mayans carving a wheel and the one says, “Well, we’re out of room on this one.” The other one says, “That’s really gonna mess up some people in the future.”

One can only imagine what sadism and butchery occurred within its walls. Then again, one doesn’t have to imagine too much, given how their ancestors behave these days.

When I talk to idiots who think the Mayan Calender predicts our DOOM in December 2012, I point out these are the same people who would rip out the beating hearts of their war conquests and throw them down the steps of their temples...by the hundreds to appease their sun god...

Of course these same people had the ability to predict the end of the world as we know it...

Right!!!

Zotz! (1962) Comedy | Horror | Fantasy

Jonathan Jones (perpetual TV actor Tom Poston), a professor of ancient languages, comes into possession of an ancient coin. He translates its inscription, which gives him three powers: to inflict pain, slow down time or kill. Soon, he’s pursued by enemy spies who have learned about the magic coin.

Also stars Jim Backus, and produced and directed by the one and only William Castle.
