Either that or they ran out of stone for their calendar, which may have led eventually to the invention of “paper.” I look out my window and it sure appears the world is still here. On the other hand, it is ambiguous on what time today the world is supposed to end.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Regarding my snarky comment on stone calendars, I can look at it another way.
