Ancient Mayan societies, known for their advanced mathematics and astronomy, followed a "long count" calendar that lasted 5,126 years. When their charts are translated to the Gregorian calendar, the international standard used today, time runs out on Dec. 21, 2012. This is he Mayan equivalent of the Y2K problem only there aren't a billion pieces of equipment which are affected this bug. I am a bit worried about how my Mayan sun dial will make it through.

They must have run out of fingers and toes...
You know, math majors...

Don’t worry, Microsoft SunDial 2.0 for Vista will take care of that problem.

Yeah, and I’m trying to figure out how to market these never-used Y2K generators as never-used Mayan generators.
