So, we're all going to die later today, can't be arsed to work out when what with timezones and all.
As far as I can make out the situation is this:
Downsides - We are all dead
Upsides - Thatcher is dead
I don't know about you but I'm counting it as a win.

Everyone being dead would be a win in the sense that no-one is left behind to mourn.

To say I was disappointed that there were no zombies at the door this morning would be a MASSIVE understatement.
I'm taking comfort from the fact that it's still yesterday in South America so there's time. In the meantime, I'll leave the barricades up and make a quick dash to Coles to stock up on spam and Red Bull.
(Apparently that's what you need for the end of the world)

A handy countdown:

It'll be 10pm just gone in Sydney. Dare say I'll be in bed.

I'm really hoping the Mayans were right - I'm counting on the end of the world to get out of Christmas shopping.
If they were wrong ... and let's face it it is a big if because these ancients really knew their stuff when it comes to predicting stuff ... Amazon vouchers all round then? Also I've got a slab of beers and 12 bottles of wine to get through and I need at least another day to make any progress with that important project.

It's one of those things that always disappoints me about humans - give them some clearly b*ll*cks predictions of disaster made by individuals you now wouldn't give a job to work in a McDs - and there are loads of people actually taking it seriously. Give them a evidence based, fact based, prediction of disaster made by scientists who are experts in the field - and there are loads of people who shrug and say "well someone will sort it out" or "its all a conspiracy". As a whole the human race is too dumb to survive....

Yep, them Mayans had ancient foretelling skills that meant they were never surprised by disasters....

Thankfully, those who believe in the world ending tonight can't say 'ha, told you so' if they are right.

That will give us a bit of time to prepare ourselves.
Thanks.
