GLEN VAUDREY: Whole Wide World #17

Honduras
Within Honduras can be found the ruins of perhaps one of the most celebrated Mayan cities, Copán. Today, however, rather than being known as a lost civilization, the Mayan are better known for their Long Count, which is said to end in 2012.

This Long Count has given rise to a number of end-of-days prophecies; however, I doubt any of them will match the terror of the prospect of having to watch the film 2012 again. But enough of the film reviews. What do we have to look at today?

We find the Wihwin, a mystery amphibious creature that is said to resemble a horse but with prominent fangs. It is said to inhabit the Caribbean coastal waters of Honduras and to occasionally come ashore for some reason perhaps known only to itself.

As for the Long Count: well, something big is coming in 2012. Yes: the Weird Weekend.
