the end of the world?

     A lot of people seem to be worried that the world will end tomorrow, because an ancient Mayan calendar will expire. If you look at an old time-and-date watch you may find that it too has expired--that the function for the date ended sometime in the 1980's, or the 1960's--but the world didn't end. I once had a date-and-name stamp from an employer that ended with 1985--but I'm still here. If I'm not here tomorrow, the doomsday crowd won't be able to say "we told you so"--because they won't be here, either.
