    We're OK up here.

    Nothing permeates the North-South divide

    Even the (WOO) drought stays south of here

    I actually think, in fact no that's not right, I know the bloke is correct.

    At 6PM today Pacific time, a combination of natural and socially initiated changes began. As a consequence of the tide washing away a few tonnes of sand from one part of the beach and moving it to another part, combined with a tree being cut down in a forest, combined with Bob telling Roberta that he doesn't want to see her anymore, add to that the fact that Bill got sacked from his job, Tom got a new job, Dick drove his tractor through a dry stone wall during a lapse of concentration, and Harry mended the broken fence in his garden.

    All of these things and many, many more, mean that the world as it was at 6PM Pacific ceased to exist, and we should all celebrate the birth of the new world, the world as it is now the tide has moved those couple of tonnes of sand from one part of the beach to another.

      ARMANDII, now the serious bit :)

      They're almost all dead but there are still a small number that are true descendants of the original Mayans - and very proud of it.
      When I was at Chichen Itza (ancient capital of the Mayan Empire - no, that wasn't a cinema!) I spent some time talking to a few of them, and their view on their history and the 'prediction' is totally different from what is the commonly held view.

      The 'prediction' is taken simply from the cycle that they call 'ages' where their two separate ways of counting years coincide. We are coming to the end of their third 5125 year cycle. Their mathematicians were absolutely brilliant and their knowledge of astronomy was pretty good.

      This is a picture of the ruin of their observatory.

          Oh. It didn't happen!
          Heres an alternative for you all:-

          THIS IS THE ONLY TIME WE WILL SEE AND LIVE THIS EVENT

          Calendar for July 2011
          (sorry - you'll have to look at your own Calendar - it wouldn't sit right on the page)

          Money bags

          This year, July has 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays.
          This happens once every 823 years. This is called money bags.
          So, forward this to your friends and money will arrive within 4 days. Based on Chinese Feng Shui. The one who does not forward.....will be without money.

          Kinda interesting - read on!!!

          This year we're going to experience four unusual dates.

          1/1/11, 1/11/11, 11/1/11, 11/11/11 and that's not all...

          Take the last two digits of the year in which you were born - now add
          the age you will be this year,

          The results will be 111 for everyone in whole world.
          This is the year of the Money!!!

          The proverb goes that if you send this to eight good friends money will appear in next four days as it is explained in Chinese FENGSHUI.

          Its a mystery!

          ziggy, that Cree Prophecy is very interesting :dbgrtmb:

          Do you know the songs of Buffy Sainte Marie? She is a Cree and has been a singer/songwriter since the 60's and is still performing.

          Her early, famous, songs were 'Universal Soldier' and 'Until It's Time for You To Go' both of which have been covered by famous singers.

          So with these extra days, does that mean it's going to be a five week month too. If so, I can't see any money arriving from anywhere, everybody will be stretching there monthly pay to cope with the extra week. :heehee:

          ziggy, I bought her first album 'It's My Way' when it came out in 1964 - still got it :thumbsup:. Apart from the two tracks I mentioned the title track is an interesting one - haven't got time to find a copy on the net.
