I call them pseudo-historians. Hell, now they have a show called "The Universe". I keep thinking I'm watching Nova or the Discovery Channel when I see it.

But anyway, the Mayans were an ignorant people. These are people who thought they were getting messages from the gods through the stars. This thing will blow over like 6/6/06 did, and, well, practically every other stupid and superstitious prophecies of the end of the world.

And anyway, the human race is fully capable of surviving a pole shift. It might be pretty devastated, but life has many ways of staying alive.
