Now now... I'm saying we shouyldn't call it just yet. We still haven't accounted for all the variations in how the Mayans might've marked time and dates and.... and we also need to be aware that the end of the world maybe only begun yesterday and we won't see it's effects for some time.

I demand a refund. I was totally supposed to turn into an elf, and it didn't happen.

I always liked the way Shadowrun used Dec 21/22 2012 in their timeline. The start of the fifth age where magic returns to the world.

Of course, it was a different day (and year) in the earlier editions, because they had the math wrong.
... Actually, I wasn't aware that they had fixed it in the later ones even. But then, the only edition I've actually owned was second, and I haven't even perused anything past third.

What I hate more than the way Yuku mishandles Youtube embeds: The way Chrome mishandles them. It can take a full minute for it to load, it freezes the entire window until it finishes, and it doesn't bother to load them with the page, it waits until you scroll to them.

More specifically, that YouTube embeds typically require the Flash player.

That's kinda funny, given that both Chrome and Youtube are owned by Google.

So, it's the end of the world (as you know it), and you feel fine? They made my pay raise..but they didn't give my back pay.

Ouch. If you're a union shop, get your steward involved... Done that since the whole mess began.
