Think of what you're saying,
You can get it wrong
And still you think that it's all right.
Think of what I'm saying,
We can work it out
And get it straight or say good night.

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God, I know I'm one

We'll have one a year up to 12/13/14. After that, there won't be enough months for it to work.

It's kind of amazing that we lived through two palindrome years. 1991 and 2002. The next one won't be until 2112. So, if we live to be 120~140 years old, we might get that one, too. Then 2222.

This just got me thinking about calender dates. Some select crazies think the world will end in 2012 because a Mayan calender ends then. Well the Mayans didn't have leap years, so accounting for the difference in years due to those extra days, I wonder what year it is according to their calender? I doubt its a drastic difference.

Well, it would take 1460 years without leap years to add up to one missed full year. I don't know how long ago the Mayan calendar was made, but it'd probably be off by only a couple of years at most. The main reason for leap years is to keep seasons where we think they should be.
