What is the time schedule for the end of the world on Friday?

Did the Mayans specify a time? Does anyone have any idea how long this thing is supposed to take?

Why so early? I had cocktails set for 7pm, dinner at 8. I figured midnight. I had better place a call to the party planner.

it would be a time zone sort of thing.

Like New Years Eve.

We could start with Australia and watch it progress across to the west. Bigger thrills than watching the ball come down in Times Square, I'd say.

I should be done with dinner by then, and won't yet have washed the dishes.

Might as well end the world with the dishes dirty.

He says that is his luck! A job he knows he can land due to it is the same one that he was laid off of. It is one of those seasonal computer jobs.He gets it this time every year. He gets back in and what is also scheduled? The end of the world.
