[Mr Ramsbotham]

I guess it’s time to get my will in order.

[DManA]

Camping gets around that by claiming that that only applied during “the church age” and that we are no longer in the church age. He really does have an answer for everything. But then he should since he’s been doing this for 30 years.

[Daffynition]

I have a doctor appointment that day...do you think I should reschedule?

[Charles Martel]

Did a little googleing. Seems like Camping also predicted the end was going to happen in 1994.

Going over his previous calculations, Camping found that he forgot to carry the one.

[P8riot]

That’s nothing, Hal Lindsey wrote a whole series of books teLling why our Lord was going to return in 1988.

RE: MT 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

Harold Camping isn’t unaware of this warning, it has also been quoted to him by concerned Christians till they are blue on the face.

Mr. Camping however has an elaborate way of explaining why this verse does not apply to his prediction.

One explanation I heard is that although he can’t predict the time or hour. HE says to look for the signs and know the time is near. He is 89 years old. If he lives past 5/21/2011, he will probably go mad.

[MaxMax]

I predicted the end would start yesterday. Someone prove me wrong..

[saganite]

The end starts tomorrow. You’re wrong.
Howzat?

[Stormdog]

I’m landing in Vegas on the 21st. If it’s all gonna end I’ll be right where I want to be, making my final roll at the Nugget!

You can’t take it with you, and even if you can, nuggets are worthless where people are headed.

[23 Everest]

Is there a comet coming I don’t know about? And where are my black tennis shoes?

[Disambiguator]

You can’t take it with you, and even if you can, nuggets are worthless where people are headed.

That reminds me of the joke about the guy who figures out how to "take it with him," so he smuggles some gold up to Heaven. When he arrives at the Pearly Gates, St. Peter asks him, "What are you doing with that pavement?"

[SgtHooper]

Whew! Just made my 60th birthday. That was a close one.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

His 1994 prediction was tentative. He said at the time that if it didn’t happen in September 1994, it would be May 2011.

And if this one doesn't do it, January of 2028?

[agrace]

Several months ago after hearing about this guy I tried to plod through some of his stuff. Quite convoluted and hardly persuasive.

[HerrBlucher]

I predict that on May 21, 2011 Emily Latella will break through the clouds in an explosion of glorious splendor accompanied by trumpet playing angels and say
“never mind.”

[mrs. a]

“...he will probably go mad.”

Future tense?

[Secret Agent Man]

Well we all know for certain it won’t end THAT day.

[WhistlingPastTheGraveyard]

Then September, 2044... then May, 2061... etc., etc.

[The Comedian]

Timewave Zero says the same sort of weirdness we entered in late November 2010 shows a similar jump in May. Still, it continues, it doesn't end (until Dec. 2012).

Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.
