How the world will really end. The Cubs make the World Series. It is the bottom of the 9th in the 7th game. All the Cubs need is 1 run to win the game & series. The 1st 2 Cubbies strike out. The 3rd player swings at the pitch, he hits it. It is a home run. As the ball goes sailing out of Wrigley Field the world ends.
This just in---according to some the Mayan calendar has been misinterpreted to end on 12/21 and it really ends on Sunday. We're not done yet.
I remember one year before the Red Soxs finally got a WS, that both the Cubs and the Soxs were headed to the playoffs a year or so earlier. What a WS that would have been(!), but the Cubs blew it first enroute and then the Sox that year I believe. Imagine the betting lines in Vegas and England! Bookies for the first time offering bets on which team would "succeed" in keeping their losing record intact. Bets on which inning would that team have their master blunder to lose the series.
OTH, the Soxs enroute to their curse-breaking WS, did what no team had ever done and came back from 0-3 in the playoffs. AND against the Yankees. Amidst all their bloated glory, the Yankees have to live with being the first team in ANY sport to blow a 3-0 lead in the playoffs. GO (to h***) YANKEES!!!
But we still have that chance that the Vikings and Bills could meet in the SuperBowl. 0-4 vs 0-4.
On a more serious note, I hope that visitors to the Mayan temples are able to keep in check their architectural wonder enough to remember that these were built for human sacrifice to demons.

Al, that is basically what I think it will be as well.
Oh, so many ways to go with this one.

HAHA! That first comment is brilliant, Mr. Karlen.
