I have been saying the exact thing for years. Maybe they ran out of space, maybe they figured "Ehn, we'll build another one when the time comes, with new pin-up engravings"
Turns out by the way that they discovered someone, somewhere forgot to carry a decimal in the calculations on how far the calender goes, and we've got at least a few hundred more years. If I recall that correctly.
In my wallet I've got a pocket perpetual calendar card, which I designed and drew myself. It goes from 1600 to 2799. The only three reasons it doesn't go any further are (1) I ran out of space to write more century numbers, (2) I figured that oughta be far enough in the future for anyone to be concerned with, and (3) if anyone needs to go farther than that, the century table is based on a simple pattern and can easily be mentally extended further.
So... similar thing to the Mayan calendar. Maybe in the year 2798, some idiot'll find my perpetual calendar and freak out!
