What End Are You Talking About?

You can fly bees on a thread but not wasps. You can tie lightening bugs to your hair or train them to illuminate the walkway. The rapture is bad math, boring calendar calculations. 2011 is the end of the Mayan Baktun not the world. Tell the crazy old preacher to get his nose out of the bible and look at a calendar. Aztec, Mayan, Incan or talk to a scientist like Spinden, Weitzal or Escalona Ramos they all had their correlations or look in the heavens. If you can see the beginning surely you can see the end. Go to the doctor, "Stop smoking or you will end in eight years." Told me I'd be dead by 43. What if you slip a decimal point or forget to add in the cost of butter? Rest assured it will come. May be best not to know the day.
