The end of the Mayan calendar, and we're still here. The end was supposed to be December 21, 2012... or December 23, 2012... some scholarly debate was held on that one. But we continue.
It's not so much a matter of apocalypse or not, but the sheer silly English wording that gets me.
I've always found the question "Are we here?" to be a stunningly silly one. If you can ask the question, you still exist, and you are undoubtably somewhere, in English it's known quite simply as "here". So of course, you are "here".
I may watch too much science fiction movies and shows. That is where someone always says "Are we here?" That's how you know it's a good time to give up on the less interesting ones and stop the program, so "No, you're not here because you were too dull to continue with."
Netflix has made giving up on shows simple and cost-free when they fail to entertain... it's lovely to be able to end the program at "Are we here?". Click. No you're not.
