6001 is a prime number (I think).

 

[Dual]

No, not quite. It divides by seventeen and 353.

 

[Dual]

But 6007, on the other hand...

 

[Dual]

That's a prime number.

 

[Dual]

None of that composite shit.

 

[Dual]

2009 isn't prime.

 

[Dual]

2011 is the next prime year.

 

[Dual]

It's also the second to last year.

 

[Dual]

Since the world ends in 2012.

 

[Dual]

THE MAYA SAID SO11!!1!!!

 

[Dual]

Not really. It's the end of a cycle.

 

[Dual]

Like the sixth or seventh, if I recall correctly.

 

[Dual]

Plus, consider this...

 

[Dual]

You're a Mayan scientist carving a calendar in the side of a rock.

 

[Dual]

It's like the year 1200 or something.

 

[Dual]

Over in Europe, the Magna Carta's approaching; in distant Mongolia, Temujin unites the Mongol tribes, and in the Levant, the Latins have been pushed out of Jerusalem.

 

[Dual]

So you're carving away the dates.

 

[Dual]

"1201, 1202, 1203..."

 

[Dual]

You carve out fucking eight hundred and twelve of them.

 

[Dual]

"... 2012"
