Anything else would be disappointing.
Well, the rest of us can point and laugh.
I hope there's videos or maybe a documentary. I want to see the reaction of the believers when the end doesn't come.
My god...he's gonna do the whole speech.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

On the way up to Vermont in some of the states (I'm not sure which ones) there were billboards about the world ending on May 21st. I think I saw around 4 of them so they are spending some money to get the word out.

You know, craxy wrong people just bug me. My fantasy about Bin Laden's death was that he be captured and made to realize he was wrong about terrorism. But it seems extremely unlikely anyone or anything could make him see that. Maybe after he died, God told him, "Dude, you really fucked up, you know?" But being an atheist, that thought is no comfort.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I was in the bookstore and saw two books (of note - they had more than two books, just in case anyone decided to get literal on me) - "Knit Your Own Dog" next to "Knit Your Own Royal Wedding". They also had "The Joy of Sox".
(this is the craft thread, right?)

The one thing I don't understand is how these doomsday "christians" can say they can accurately know when the world is going to end based on a lot of vague stuff when Jesus explicitly says "No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son,f but only the Father. " and there's some more after that.
If Campling believes the Bible is the literal truth then he believes what Jesus is saying here. And it looks like he's claiming to know what only God can know...which seems kind of blasphemous to me. i mean, if you believe in all of this.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
6pm on May 21st I plan to be watching Doctor Who, so it will be no surprise to me when the end of the world is averted at the last minute.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
A few weeks ago I saw a small caravan of what I can only think to call "Rapturemobiles" driving through my neighborhood. They were wrapped with "THE END IS COMING! REJOICE!" decals with May 21st printed all over, and loudspeakers (thankfully not in use) mounted on top. Somebody's gonna have a hell of a time reselling those on May 22nd...

If there's one thing the Doctor has taught me, it's that the end of the world doesn't have to be the end of the world.

On May 21st, we need a rapture watch-n-post.
"I'm being raptured! Wait, that was just gas."

I just found the chain of websites that tells you what's at each exit and where the service plazas are for every highway on my Canada route. Good lord I love maps.
[ooooh, and I can use Google Streetview to see what foof chains are at each one! I am a happy happy nerd.]
