According to media hype and a bogus interpretation of the Mayan calendar, the world is supposed to end on Friday.  But some people are actually freaked out about it.  You know who's not?  ACTUAL MAYANS.--There are still about 800,000 Mayans living in the Yucatan region of Mexico.  And none of them think their calendar says the world is about to end.

--As one 62-year-old Mayan told reporters, quote, "Remember 2006, and the 6-6-6 date?  A lot of people thought that something was going to happen, and nothing happened.  Why get panicky?"--You know what they ARE worried about?  A massive number of TOURISTS heading to their sacred sites this week.

 --A tourism official in the area says, quote, "I'm worried there are going to be more people than [hotel] rooms.  The people who are coming are basically spiritual, and that could be a problem as well.

 --"Because those people like to form circles to receive energy, and there is no way to reserve space for that kind of thing at the ruin sites."
