Whoopsie Daisies - Harold Camping says now it's 100000% going to be 10/21/2011
Damnit, I was hoping those signs would go away.

I guess Saturday was some sort of 'Spiritual Rapture' where God was making his list and checking it twice, trying to find out who's naughty or nice.

Oh and this time the earth will be engulfed in a giant fireball

Rapture actually coming in October, says Camping

California preacher Harold Camping said yesterday his prophecy that the world would end was off by five months because Judgment Day will actually come on October 21.

Mr Camping, who predicted that 200 million Christians would be taken to heaven on Saturday before the earth was destroyed, said he felt so terrible when his doomsday prediction did not come true that he left home and took refuge in a motel with his wife.

His independent ministry, Family Radio International, spent millions - some of it from donations made by followers - on more than 5000 billboards and 20 RVs plastered with the Judgment Day message.

But Mr Camping said that he had now realised the apocalypse would come five months after May 21, the original date he predicted. He had earlier said October 21 was when the globe would be consumed by a fireball.

8. To quote that great 21st century philosopher...
"There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again."

9. Track his "Family Radio" FCC filings: if they're planning for anything after 21 October,
they don't themselves believe a word they're saying

13. For Old Weird Harold's sake, it better happen then
If it DOESN'T happen then, the California National Guard better double up the guards on the motor pools they keep their self-propelled howitzers in. Because you KNOW Camping is gonna eventually screw someone who knows how to cock cannons, and then all bets are off.

16. This just means that the Cubs and Orioles are a lock for the World Series
The Cubs will defeat the Pirates in the NLCS and the Orioles will defeat the Royals in the ALCS. And the World will promptly explode.
