MAYAN CALENDAR PREDICTING THE END OF THE WORLD INCORRECT

Many angry about having to change their plans

     The review of the Mayan calendar by historians has tossed the lives of many Americans into turmoil.  The calendar was thought to predict that the world will end on Dec. 21, 2012, but after a review, historians contend that date is probably wrong, saying the Mayans neglected to consider state furlough days and Daylight Savings Time.  
     As a result, many Americans are stressed over the newly created uncertainly of their future.  "I was going to buy a new Aston-Martin on credit on Dec. 8th, 2012 and drive it around for a couple of weeks before the 'big bang' and never have to pay for it.  Now my plan is all shot to hell," complained Norwick Leedy of Modesto.  "A lot of us are fed up with the Mayans screwing with our lives and plan to vote them out on November 2nd."
