Some important questions about tomorrow...
As we all know, the world will be ending tomorrow according to Harold Camping.

1. Does anyone know what time (eastern) this will be happening? I have dinner plans, and need to know if I should cancel.

2. Will the world be ending all at once, or time-zone by time-zone (to handle the crowding)?

2. I was recently issued a Global Entry card; can I go through the express lane at the Pearly Gates?

Until the Next Millennial Planetary Manifestation. So you are out of luck, Brooklynite, unless you get a private tutor to help you master the old 1, 2, 3 list thingy...

3. My theory (which is mine) ...
is that if the world is to end on the 21st, it would have to be the 21st all over the world.

Check the international date line and determine what time it'll be in your time zone when it happens and plan accordingly.

5. Your answers...
#1 - Don't bother. Use it as your last meal. Just make sure it's something incredibly fattening so that you won't die on an empty stomach.

#2 - Neither. It will end city by city. Sodom first. Then Gomorrah. Then Rome.

#3 - There won't be any lines as no one is really entering. The gates will be padlocked to prevent it. Ya'll are just gonna go poof.

Sorry.

Yes! I need to know if I have that extra hour to buy my final Big Mac and a chance to win MacOpoly. "Harold - call me)" (909) 555-1212

9. Be sure to have a photo ID, birth certificate and marriage certificate if you changed your name.
I'm guessing those governors who want to disenfranchise voters will be manning the Pearly Gates, and the express lane will be reserved for their likeminded pals. With that kind of evil roaming the heavenly streets, I'm rethinking whether I really want to go there.

Thanks for the early morning chuckle (out here on the West Coast), and for the reminder about Camping's Oct. 21 prediction so I can be ready for The End. I was thinking I had until December 21, 2012!

11. Actually, you'll only think the world is ending.
Camping got it wrong. Instead of the world actually ending, you'll only wish it did. All media outlets will permanently be switched to an aluminum siding sales training Powerpoint presentation that will run 24/7 on every radio and television channel. I hear that slide 157 is a real snorer.

17. I've heard this won't be a Standard Rapture.
No nekkid people floating slowly up to the sky, gently bouncing off skyscrapers, and occasionally being sucked into a jet engine at 24,000 feet. No, this one's going to be so subtle you won't even notice it.

But just in case, be sure to wear clean underwear and leave your car keys atop the left front tire for those of use who'll be making the rounds afterwards. 'Preciate it.:hi:
