Better cancel those holidays. We now have a date for Armageddon, and it's a week on Tuesday - August 22.

Lewis continues: "What is the significance of August 22? This year, August 22 corresponds, in the Islamic calendar, to the 27th day of the month of Rajab of the year 1427. This, by tradition, is the night when many Muslims commemorate the night flight of the prophet Muhammad on the winged horse Buraq, first to 'the farthest mosque', usually identified with Jerusalem, and then to heaven and back (cf, Koran XVII.1).

LOL. It's a shame there won't be Rather and Jennings live on camera to describe the end of the world to us. But, at least there won't be Aaron Brown. That would be insufferable.
