I trust that the New Zealanders on my facebook page aren't lying when they say nothing of note has happened though. ;)

They probably are. Nothings happened here either. And the guy who said it will is gonna get into a lot of trouble tommorow.

No, he won't get into trouble.

I do wonder how many of his followers will kill themselves tomorrow though. There are people who have spent their entire life savings to promote the idea that the world is ending tomorrow.

It wouldn't make a difference anyway. They'll hold on until the whole world reaches the 22nd. Then they'll start revising the date.

Knowing them, they're expecting it to happen 6 PM American time. These groups are often America-centric.

Yes.

Unless of course it's not OK for a woman to ask for a female to ask for a female officer to carry out body checks. In which case, the answer would be no.

It's 08:06, I'm quite enjoying my coffee, and from what I can tell the world is still fine outside.

Another crackpot looking for attention. :p

Maybe it'll only take place in America? Most of these groups don't seem to realise there's more Earth outside of the US.

Or perhaps they'll just move on and continue to do the same. That's how the Jehova's Witnesses started, right?

Maybe it's happening all over the world and the Illuminati is keeping us from knowing. ;)

No, it's supposed to happen at 6 pm in every time zone. So it should have happened for much of Asia already.

I'd like to see a televised debate between him and Fred Phelps. Hell, we could do it in a stadium and sell tickets. Although the first three rows might get wet.

I know it happened in Star Trek but I remember this one actually worked. I just don't remember where it was from. Though maybe I'm just mistaking the Star Trek one for something else.


Actually, the movie is called Sunshine.

Well, if the world IS ending, I wanted one last chance to blaspheme:

Christianity is nothing more than a 2000 year old terrorist organization. Yahweh is a pompous, self absorbed, misogynistic, genocidal, racist, tyrannical, infanticidal, unimaginative, and wholly pathetic example of a cosmic architect. Jesus is a misleading, destructive, cowardly asshole that people for some reason remember as a monger of peace and love, despite him just being another Abrahamic blowhard with a god complex and a mandate to suppress the human spirit as a whole.

Okay, NOW I'm ready to die.

I am shocked. I mean, the man, Harold Camping, has such an amazing record of correct predictions. Like his prediction that the world would end in 1994.

From what I gather, the universe isn't going to end until October. Today is just the day when all true Christians are supposed to go to heaven.

As I haven't heard reports of anybody floating skywards, this can only mean one thing.

There are no true Christians.
