Yes, they are all dead! (This is called 'absolute knowledge' and cannot be refuted. ASny individual now calling themselves a'Mayan' is either cognitively malfunctioning or uttering a sophistry.

As for Estelyn asking about going on topic the preferred method is to start a thread called , say, martians, and then talk about cocoa beans.

And my cousin, who worked in southeastern coastal Mexico, habitually meets native Mayans.

Due to an alarming increase in factual content I'm obliged to leave a banana peel lying around on the floor at this point.

These are "Steve Wright factoid" level of facts rather than those things which are not fiction.

Nah, Steve Wright is a BBC Radio 2 presenter and in his show he has a factoid segment where various interesting/amusing pieces of trivia are related to the audience with some banter thrown in.

Steve Wright: a U.K radio presenter who thinks he is funny and presents sound-bite "facts", at least 25% of which are wrong (though not deliberately so) and another 25% are incomplete or incomprehensible.

(Not to be confused with Steven Wright, U.S. comedian, who is a comic genius.)
