I was listening to the news on radio 4. My favourite item was "Many people believed a prophecy that predicted that the world would end this afternoon. It didn't."
I love that they added "it didn't", just in case there was any doubt.
And remember, there's no evidence any Mayan people believed this, the people being believing it (or far more commonly, repeating it) are mostly modern westerners.
