I just thought about this Mayan doomsday crap, do you think this was all started by a misunderstanding like there was someone analysing the calendar and there was this really annoying guy who kept on asking him questions and pissing the analyst off and when the idiot asked
"what happens at the end of the calender ?"
the analyst looks at him frustrated
'it's the end of the world'
he replies sarcastically but the idiot takes it as fact, panics and runs away screaming about doomsday
also lol at them French villagers
