    One of the funniest Craigslist ads I have ever seen. Link provided, but pasted below for when its taken down.

    sfbay.craigslist.org link

    "Hey there Bay Area Mayans! You guys had an incredible culture! I mean the art, the architecture, the written language, the agricultural practices still used today, amazing stuff. Sure, there was that whole human sacrifice thing but we have McRib sandwiches so no culture is perfect.

    But now that you have foreseen the end of the world in 2 short days, why not get rid of that pinball machine just gathering dust in your garage or step pyramid while you still can.

    Let's deal! It's not going to do you any good in the Maya underworld and seriously, would you want to lug a pin (and forget about a widebody) along through the cavernous caves and deep tunnels while Kinich Ahau just shakes his divine head in disbelief, if you could?

    No, my Mayan pinhead brothers and sisters, let me trade a few coins for your machines, treat yourself a nice dinner or final sunset cruise on the Bay Friday night and laugh your butts off at my so-called "good deal" for as long as you know it will last me.

    I'm ready to haul it away from now until the first fireballs start cascading from the heavens. Rain cancels though - bad for the machines.

    I await your response. No human offerings, Lethal Weapon III or Shaq Attack. Limited time offer (according to you guys)."

    Same ad was over here, must be a scam, did he mention wanting to use the money to buy a Jurassic Park?
