Mayan Calendar

A lot of people are concerned that the world is going to end on December 21, 2012 (give or take).  They reason that the Mayan calendar ends on that day - or perhaps the day before.  Once the calendar ends, that's all she wrote.  The world comes crashing down around our heads.

This is fucking stupid.

Put the Commas In

Journalists, when you're writing largish numbers (that would be numbers with more than four digits), would you *PUHLEEZ* put the fucking commas in?  I can't tell the difference between 300000 and 3000000 or even 30000000.  Come on, how hard would it be to put in a comma every three digits?

Didn't your teachers ever tell you about that stuff?
