Didn't it end today according to the Viking calendar?

All those ends of the world, I always feel so let down when I get all excited and nothing happened... But maybe the Aboriginies have it right and we are all living in a dream world?
Well, one of the Norse gods was supposed to blow a horn which is allegedly on display in a museum in York England. Now, the horn was blown the regulation number of days ago, but not by a Norse God, but by some non viking looking museum employee that didnt look all that warlike.
Now, as I see it, the Norse gods have clearly mellowed over the years, well Thor has taken to crime fighting and saving the world from Loki (considering how Odin treated him, I can see why he is acting out, bad parenting.)
Of course there are some that look at the near constant state of war in some part of the world in the last century and beginning of this one as to indicate we are indeed in Ragnarok.
Of course Christians say it is the end times, and we all know that the people that have no clue how calenders work screwed the pooch on the Mayan thing.
Now the celestial indications the native Americans of the southwest used to determine when the world was out of balance have not quite come together, and when that happens the world doesnt really end, it just gets a little more inconvenient, mountains being laid low, new mountains being raised, storms, earthquakes, people dieing as the world cleanses itself... but nothing to major.
