I know this post was in jest, but it exemplifies the biggest problem with these "calendar says we'll all die" shenanigans, which is the fact that all calenders currently in use (or no longer in use, like this one) start from an arbitrary date. That's not to say that the inventors of said calendars didn't have a reason for picking the respective start date, but in the grand scheme of things, said date is still arbitrary.
