Other than the Mayans, no one has ever successfully predicted the end of the world. Why?

Because it hasn't ended?

I know exactly when the world will end but I'm keeping it secret.

I'll let you know once it's happened.

Can't say fairer than that.

I predict a clash of civilizations when the Mayans and the Muslims intermarry. Mayans absolutely hate burkas, while Muslims hate loincloths.

Too bad the Mayans are not around to build Trump's Wall, they would do a really spectacular job, something that everyone would want to come and see. No need to deport anyone, just wait for them to come and then round them up.

Trump was here in San Diego yesterday. Walls do work. The police formed a human wall that kept the Mayans from sacrificing the Trumpsters.

Perhaps the Mayas never went anywhere. They seemed so advanced, I predict they're most likely still among us- under deep cover, manipulating us in ways we never imagined. Damn those Mayans!!!!

Mayans may be pulling levers and turning switches here at the Spoof.
I may be a Mayan as well.

If you don't wear Fruit of the Loom ball huggers, you can't be a Mayan. In the interest of relevant public discourse, let's stay on subject.

Another dupe.

What is the world? What do you mean by its end?

Is it not an orb without beginning or end spinning dawn to dusk?

We're talking about absolute nothingness. No spinning allowed because gravitational forces won't exist.

Which of course leads us to the obvious question about the elephant in the room which I have often wondered if it means something different in India than it does here.

What about the hippopotamus?

From Bertrand Russell's obituary of Ludwig Wittgenstein:

---

Quite at first I was in doubt as to whether he was a man of genius or a crank, but I very soon decided in favour of the former alternative. Some of his early views made the decision difficult. He maintained, for example, at one time that all existential propositions are meaningless. This was in a lecture room, and I invited him to consider the proposition: " There is no hippopotamus in this room at present ". When he refused to believe this, I looked under all the desks without finding one; but he remained unconvinced.

I predict an Icelandic volcano will end the world as we know it and only gay, spouting geysers will survive!

How would you know if the prophecy was accurate?

The world as we know it ends everyday. Something to look forward to In ways.

EQ, maybe it's time to come out, then all will be revealed!

I may be a Mayan. I have high cheek bones and can grind corn with my teeth.

Every moment, Victor, every moment.

In fact, it never exists.

Solipsistic dogma from a raconteur of your ilk makes one wonder why strippers wear pasties. In time and space, you might argue whether Francis the Mule or Mr. Ed can better articulate your convoluted idea of reality. Make my day by explaining your choice of spokes critters.

Words fail. I think it would have been better to have left it as

every moment, Victor, every moment

Talking about 'existence' is always a mistake.

Spokes critters?

Hmm. I will have to come back to you on that one, as the cuckoo said when asked what it was playing at.

EQ...Your abdication has been noted. The question, however, is not about existence, per se. Existence approached abstractly will merely give you an ephemeral glimpse of fleeting reality. The real question, which you fail to address, is which critter; Mr. Ed or Francis the Talking Mule, is more credible. In other words, which one would you choose to be your "Spokes Critter?"

Very Respectfully,
