Harold Camping predicts end of the world is Oct 21

Well, at least we got to see some official photos from the Depp/DS film...

If we keep I Chinging back in time whenever October 2011 gets too close, everything will be fine.  It's a little trick I picked up from Mr. Atoz on Star Trek, only his thing is more high-tech.

So this is the guy with the billboards.   I liked how they referred to him as a "doomsday enthusiast".

Only if the world doesn't come to an end tomorrow and people decide not to continue it. But if the world doesn't end tomorrow (which I strongly suspect it won't - just like it didn't end on May 21st  [hall2_wink]) and people want to continue, the WP will definitely continue on past the pre-Barn eps with Ep #210 and beyond.  [hall2_smiley]

If this person is a "Christian" apparently he doesn't read the Bible.  "No man knows the day nor the hour, not even the angles in heaven"  I am not for sure where that is but trust me (I was raised in church all my life and have studied the Bible) it's there.  What a idiot!!!

Harold Camping guesses wrong again, world still here

Can't wait to see how he explains getting it wrong yet again.  [hall2_grin]  But the good news is we're all still here and enjoying our love of DS.  [hall2_wink]

Yeah...I just hate that this idiot gets so much press.....He is up there with that creep Fred Phelps from the God Hates F*gs group and they give him all kinds of press. Dear media please ignore these idiots and say focus on a baby that has been missing now for about 3 weeks.......

I take it this means we can stop worrying about 2012? [8_1_209]

Can't wait to see how he explains getting it wrong yet again.
I'm sure there's a parallel time band somewhere in which he got it right.  My question is: In that parallel time band, did Stokes believe him?

I take it this means we can stop worrying about 2012?
You mean the Mayan calendar thing?  My sister had the same thought this morning.  Since a Dark Shadows fan (that's you, not my sister) brought it up, I'm now wondering: what would a Mayan-themed storyline have looked like?

"No man knows the day nor the hour, not even the angles in heaven"
O Mount Vesuvius, here we are in geometry!  My good sir, one can't marry a vulgar angle!  (Don't mind me, I can't help it.  I was born misquoting Gilbert and Sullivan.)
