As our Faith & Reason blogger Cathy Lynn Grossman noted, Saturday's talk of the end of the world turned into 'Apocalypse No' and a day of jokes as opposed to judgment.

But before we were all spared from the Rapture, Los Angeles Clippers center Chris Kaman told his Twitter followers on Friday he was going to be armed and dangerous saying, "Just incase anything fishy happens tomorrow I bought a few more guns." He even included links to three photos to prove he meant business.

Later, he responded to one his followers by saying the guns were for "home protection."

Turns out, Kaman was in on the joke too. On Saturday, he took to Twitter again saying "Ok, all kidding aside, no rapture is happening ..."

3. I am missing the point.

Is this about guns, the rapture, or adolescent humor?
