Officially the unofficial countdown to the end of the world thread: Doomsday!

[NikolaeVarius]

It hit 6pm in the east coast. It started raining like crazy for a bit even though it was sunny today.

Does that count?

 

[shiner]

I'm still here! Who's with me?

 

[NoStateofMind]

Checking in on the east coast. God must be late cause Camping could never be wrong.

 

[Cogman]

Dang it, looks like nobody on ATOT is going to be saved . Whats worse, we don't even KNOW people that will be saved. We must REALLY be bad.

Maybe it was just the Westboro Baptist peeps.

I only think I'm still here, but they're not fooling me.

 

[SilverThief]

I wanted to be assimilated by the Matrix.

 

[moshquerade]

Anyone else at an EOTW party? We thought it might be cut short, but it's still gooooooooooing!

October. No Halloween this year. Don't get a costume for the party, it would be a waste.

The religious broadcaster who predicted the world would end Saturday — and convinced hundreds he was right — was nowhere to be seen publicly Sunday after his prediction didn't come true.

Minister Harold Camping, 89, founder of the Family Radio network, said the Bible and numeric analysis revealed that the Earth would be destroyed Saturday at 5:59 p.m. through a series of earthquakes. He said 200,000 believers would be sent to heaven in the Rapture.

On Sunday, Camping's radio headquarters in Oakland was closed and nobody answered the door at his home a few miles away. The company's website wasn't responding. It wasn't clear when the Christian network would return to the airwaves, where it is broadcast on 66 U.S. stations and in other countries.

Eff Camping, I want to know what the guy who pissed away his life savings is up to now.

 

[sdifox]

LOTRO is not working yet. It's the Apocalypse!

Eff Camping, I want to know what the guy who pissed away his life savings is up to now.

You would think that after 3 or 4 false End of the World predictions, and the hardships endured by people who take them seriously, people would figure out that it always makes the most sense to bet against it being true. Which actually makes End of the World predictions largely irrelevant.

The May 21 doomsday message was sent far and wide via broadcasts and websites by Camping, an 89-year-old retired civil engineer who has built a multi-million-dollar Christian media empire that publicizes his apocalyptic prediction

A truly crazy guy, or a savvy businessman capitalizing on stupidity?

Blind faith overrides logic and reason. And people forget things easily.
"Well sure he was wrong last time, but it wasn't all that bad, at least not that I can remember," they'd say after losing their house and savings because the world stubbornly failed to end.

Do I get overtime for having worked on Doomsday?
