In this instance they made the mistake of double counting bank holidays, meaning their calendar isn’t due to run out for a further eight years. People should actually be worrying about 2020, that’s the real end of the civilised world.”Hawking, an honorary life member of the MCC, goes on to explain that his realisation about the threat of 2020 came whist attending this summer’s Lord’s test against South Africa.“I was watching Hashim Amla play a wonderful five hour match winning innings when it suddenly struck me that 2020 was the end of civilisation as I know it. Although, admittedly, my mind was already contemplating the dark path our society has taken after being charged £8.40 for a pint and hotdog at the refreshments stall behind the Lord’s Grand Stand.”A spokesman for the Mayans was unavailable for comment, their civilisation having been conquered by the Spanish during the 17th century.<a href="https://thatcricketblog.wordpress.com/2012/12/21/steven-hawking-mayans-miscalculated-by-8-years-2020-is-actual-end-of-civilisation/" target="_blank">https://thatcricketblog.wordpress.com/2012/12/21/steven-hawking-mayans-miscalculated-by-8-years-2020-is-actual-end-of-civilisation/</a></blockquote>
