Any tremors in your part of the country?

[The Backlash Cometh]

You would think there would be some seismic tremors before the big one hits Saturday. Not even the animals are acting strangely.

Edited to correct the day.

1. I thought it is supposed to be the 21st -

plenty of time still.

7. You're right. I made the correction.

2. It's tomorrow now?

I'm trying to decide which day to cook ribs. All this confusion about which day really doesn't help.

8. Maybe I'm experiencing time travel flash forwards?

3. nothing here yet.

:shrug:

4. here neither

No news is good news. Although we do have some flooding, and we've had the wettest spell (measuring from March 1st) on record, as in ever.

5. Saturday is the rapture day the world ends on Oct 21

Camping has since reworked his equations in such a way that they now point to a May 21, 2011 Rapture. Once the 200 million true Christians (in Camping's estimation) have been whisked away this coming Saturday, he says hell on Earth will ensue and last for 5 months, until Oct. 21, at which point the world will end.

Here's the gist of Camping's calculation: He believes Christ was crucified on April 1, 33 A.D., exactly 722,500 days before May 21, 2011. That number, 722,500, is the square of 5 x 10 x 17. In Camping's numerological system, 5 represents atonement, 10 means completeness, and seventeen means heaven. "Five times 10 times 17 is telling you a story," Camping said on his Oakland-based talk show, Family Radio, last year. "It's the story from the time Christ made payment for your sins until you're completely saved."

He added, "I tell ya, I just about fell off my chair when I realized that."

11. Thank God we have someone on DU who could check the math.

Are you kidding me? Has he really based it on something so subjective?

Man. I'm going to go back to my Fukishama doomsday we're-all-going-to-die-a-lingering-cancerous-death video.

14. That's why my little guy says not to panic

Besides

People of Earth, your attention, please. This is Prostetnic Vogon Jeltz of the Galactic Hyperspace Planning Council. As you will no doubt be aware, the plans for development of the outlying regions of the Galaxy require the building of a hyperspatial express route through your star system. And regrettably, your planet is one of those scheduled for demolition. The process will take slightly less than two of your Earth minutes. Thank you.

There’s no point in acting surprised about it. All the planning charts and demolition orders have been on display at your local planning department in Alpha Centauri for 50 of your Earth years, so you’ve had plenty of time to lodge any formal complaint and it’s far too late to start making a fuss about it now. … What do you mean you’ve never been to Alpha Centauri? Oh, for heaven’s sake, mankind, it’s only four light years away, you know. I’m sorry, but if you can’t be bothered to take an interest in local affairs, that’s your own lookout. Energize the demolition beams.
I don't know, apathetic bloody planet, I've no sympathy at all.

16. I'm more inclined to rational, realistic explanations.

Like, the fact that starting on May 21, 2011, we're going to start seeing a Children of Man effect from all the radiation that is filtering into our food supply.

12. numbers

I play a little bit with numerology - very interesting and usually pretty darned accurate.

5 means CHANGE
10 breaks down to 1 which means NEW BEGINNINGS
and 17 breaks down to 8 which means ABUNDANCE, or LESSONS IN ABUNDANCE

so by his numbers, his people will experience great change if they gave away all their worldly goods. they will get the chance to start over because they are broke.

LOL...

13. Oh and the numbers on 05/21/2011

the date breaks down to a 3

3 means LAUGH - Send in the Clowns (among other things, but I am just playing a bit here LOL)

Teeter-tottering, out of balance, finding yourself in-between (jobs, homes, etc.) It also can mean depression, lies, and acting without thinking.

6. Just saw someone on CNN asking a "Believer" the question...

"What happens when the 21st rolls around and there is no earthquake"?

To which the fruitcake guy said, "Oh, but there WILL be an earthquake!"


Ummm...ya think?

I get earthquake notifications on my iPhone, and people would be amazed to know just how many earthquakes happen around the world on a daily basis anyway.

So yeah...somewhere in the world there will be an earthquake.

As for the question of an earthquake that splits the world into lots of little pieces....nahhh. When that doesn't happen, I wonder how those poor bastards will explain it...

9. I'm so gonna own me some cool stuff on Sunday.

[SpiralHawk]

10. My dog has been yawning more than usual. Surely that's some kind of sign.

[AC_Mem]

15. Its a sign for sure!

Spell dog backwards.

Ack! Your dog is predicting the rapture!
