Apocalypse Now

As the seas boil, forests burn, and that asteroid we’ve all been watching for weeks gets closer, I can think just one thing:

Bloody Mayans.

21st December 2012 passed with only a fistfight on Oxford Street.

And that wasn’t surprising. Like Mitch said, if the Mayans could tell the future, we’d still have Mayans.

Turns out they could tell it. They just couldn’t change it.

They worked it out centuries ago. Abandoned their cities, because what was the point?

They saw us coming too, and what we’d do. That’s why some joker left that calendar, marked with the wrong day.

The Mitch is Mitch Benn, Doctor Who geek-in-chief, purveyor of funny songs and doer of an awesome reading of ‘A Christmas Carol’. You can find his stuff here, though not the song about the Mayans.
