Today I bought an book on learning Mayan glyphs. I suck.
I think the suckage is overwhelmed by the awesomeness of learning mayan glyphs by roughly a factor of two. By weight.
My favourite glyph is cimi, the death-parrot! Or maybe the angry-teeth symbol for zero. I made myself a mayan calendar out of cardboard once. By the time I finished hand-lettering 365 glyphs I was feeling less enthusiastic about their mathematical prowess.
