Were the Mayans correct?
 

First Haiti, then Chile, what's next? :dunno:

Just heard a Harvard physicist say the earth's rotation sped up by .6ms due to the effect of the plates shifting 6 feet thereby shrinking the earth and causing the earth to spin faster. He used the example of a spinning skater pulling in their arms to go faster.

No. They were not correct. They were a bunch of pyramid building blood thirsty neanderthals. With that said I secretly use their nonsense and that of others to justify spending more money than I should.:rofl::rofl::rofl:

Pretty interesting facts, both earthquake and dam.
And another earthquake just happened in Taiwan.

It is interesting to see more than one culture / prophet / religious book point to one specific time as 'the end'. I am sure that the people living in 1900-1940 thought they were in the end times also.
