I'll be up for a little post-rapture looting later. ::)

Seriously, the guy making the prediction is worth ~70 million dollars.

I don't see him giving any of his money away.

I did not realize you got raptured in the nude.  Sounds like party time in heaven.  Maybe it would be a good idea to hang close to that hot neighbor you've had your eye on or that cute girl in the checkout line. :D 
We are getting heavy rain here and my backyard is partially flooded....could it be true?

2 1/2 hours, 6pm est standard time!  Mr. Camping is an engineer after all he did his math precisely! well when he redid it after his error in 1994.


I find it tickles my sense of wonder when I observe this kind of human behavior, I don't understand it but it amuses me.

If just a few percentage points of his followers would burn their bibles, enroll in a math or geology class on Monday it would be a good thing.  However, i don't see it happening with even a fraction of 1 percent.  They will just look for another easy solution to their belief that humanity is worthless without a master.

I did not follow this much at all but I heard a comment on the radio yesterday.  It was about one of these guys promoting this rapture idea, did not catch the name, but anyhow he had a book due to come out on Saturday. ;D

I just feel bad for all the people who quit their jobs and blew all their money assuming the end was coming.  On one hand it's funny and sad, but on the other, we'll be footing the bill for them and their kids until they can get another job. :P
