Logic didn't work for Obama's voters, either, so P.T. Barnum's maxim reigns supreme.

We picked up a pamphlet in Union Square to see why so many people are talking about the world ending on May 21, 2011.
It turns out the theory comes down to two numerological proofs.
The first proof is based on Genesis 7:4, when God said to Noah: "Seven days from now I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, and I will wipe from the face of the earth every living creature I have made."
When God referred to seven days, he meant both seven days and seven thousand years, because "one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day." The flood occurred in 4990 BC. Seven thousand years later is 2011. (Remember, there's no year 0.)
The second proof looks at the significance of the number of days between the Crucifixion and May 21, 2011.
There are 722,500 days between these dates. 722,500 is a significant number because it is composed of the significant numbers 5x10x17x5x10x17. Five signifies redemption; ten signifies completion; and 17 signifies heaven. The numbers represent the day of redemption (5) and the Christian era (10) and the ascent to heaven (17) -- and these factors are doubled for added significance.
We'll know for sure in 27 days.

Maybe I’ll see you there. At least at the rapture anyway.
Which Wednesday? I was born on Wednesday...
I've been saying for years that it's not the global warming we've got be worried about, but the global roasting.
But Wednesday’s child is full of woe......
Exactly right.
So when’s my pity party? We better get it going before Wednesday. As you can plainly see, I’m chock-full of woe. ;-p
Logic didn't work for Obama's voters, either, so P.T. Barnum's maxim reigns supreme.
LOL! Party on!
LOL! Poor me!
>>... he simply ignored the non-event and continued on with his usual Bible Study Program on the Book of Ruth.<<
What were you expecting? an apology that the world didn’t end?
Did you crack a smile when you posted that?
Three weeks from today! Aiiiieeee!
(re-ping)
Ohhhh...keep it down, civ.
TOL prolly has a massive hangover...chock full of whoa today...unless this is just an excuse for another 2 week runner...
I do not have a massive nor any other kind of hangover, Fred! It’s hard to get one from a single tablespoon (tot) of whiskey. Stop gossiping about me at once. ;-p
You’re the one who needs a little whoa, if you ask me, you snippy face! Hah, I bet no one has ever called you *that* before.
I won’t be full of woe until [hello?] WEDNESDAY.
Oh, hi Civ. Did I leave you speechless?
Sure, yeah, right.
Not gonna even try to sober up until Wednesday.
At our age I really gotta admire that kind of stamina.
giggles
Fred, I’m jober as a sudge!
Well, I suppose there are two ways to look at this.
If the world ends in a few more days at least you had fun.
If it doesn’t, at least hose A kwhere voe will still be your friend.
I always thought 17 signified Toledo, Ohio.
I like tequila, but I love smoky Islay malts from Scotland. So my friends will be Ardbeg, Caol Ila, Bowmore, Talisker, McClellands, and a lifetime supply (one bottle) of Cuairt Beatha, which will strip the paint off your car if you breathe on it after drinking.
And I just proved that I’m not drunk. What drunk could spell Cuairt Beatha correctly?
Really.
With as much practice as you’ve had?
The best whiskey in the world is/was Idaho Gold.
Six bucks a bottle.
The trick was to buy two.
Chug half of the first one and wait ten minutes...after that the rest went down smooth as silk.
