There are two different correlations between the Maya longcount and
the Gregorian calendar. 13 0 0 0 0 being December 21 is the favorite
in the press, probably because of the coincidence with the winter
solstice. (Actually, the longcount changes at sunset on the previous
day.) The other has it on December 23; this one is preferred by
Austin's Mayanist and one-time caver Barb MacLeod. Those disappointed
that the world has not ended can party again the evening of the twenty-
second, which is, conveniently, a Saturday. -- Mixon
