YES!  Refurbished Y2K kits...at a substantial markup.   :fap:

We should probably throw in some tinfoil hats...

If someone can learn basic mayan, we need to include a scroll or something (engravings are too spendy, and people who buy this won't know the difference) with the glyphs on it. Say it's to protect you from the mayan sky god. In reality, it could be a recipe for bacon explosion or something.

It should be written in elaborate code that renders out to either instructions for removing still - beating hearts, or a recipe for monkey bread.

Anyone ever think about how Richter inhabits the same reality as you and just scream and scream and scream, but in a good way?   :lulz:

Might be easier to learn just the numbers and write out the fibbonacci sequence.

Of course they're going to deny it.  What else would you expect?  They've been prepared for thousands of years and want to keep us in the dark because there aren't enough lifepods for everyone.

There's a rather beautiful elegance the the Mayan numbering system.  Anybody could learn that in just a few minutes, and I bet it calculates just as easy as Arabic numerals.  (if kinda slow to write down)

That said, its not really great for pretending to be a scroll of protection.

I was under the assumption that the Mayan calendar was cyclical. How could it have an end?
