Nuclear war will begin next Thursday, June 12, or sooner, according to the latest prediction of self-proclaimed prophet Yisrayl "Buffalo Bill" Hawkins, the founder of a religious sect in Abilene, Texas.

"It could be turned loose before then," Hawkins told 20/20 for a report to be broadcast tonight. "You're going to see this very soon, really soon," he said.

[Mr. Pumblechook]

Bush’s fault. Women and minorities hardest hit. Old, I know, but still funny.

Don’t forget to wear your lead shield during the X-rays. That radiation can do bad stuff to your system. ;-0

6/11 is a better bet.

Nooooooooo. My birthday is June 13th and I intend to celebrate........

[eyedigress]

I don’t have anything on my calender next Thursday. I guess its OK.

[Repeal The 17th]

Texas had better act quickly; there's only 5 days left to go seize save all their children.

[JRandomFreeper]

Some Texans can be eccentric. That's a given.

Hand crank appliances.

Which brings me to one of my hobby horses:

We already agree that our calendar is wrong, starting late by anywhere from 2 to 16 years, depending on who's doing the reckoning, and further in error because of the absence of a year zero.

The more fundamental point is that God did not intend us to mark His years by the birth of Jesus.

If He had intended this we would have a Biblical fixing of the date.

Further, the day of Jesus' birth is unremarkable as all men are born.

However, very few return from the dead, that event is remarkable, and it is the defining moment of Christianity, the very moment of proof that his sacrifice was not in vain. And the Bible gives a precise reference for when this happened!

Clearly this was the date the calendar was supposed to start!

For extra points, this makes our calendar off by anywhere from 18 to 31 years. That makes this something like Holy Year 1990 to Holy Year 1977, giving us anywhere from 10 to 23 years to get our affairs in order before the real end of the millennium...

There are loons like this out there predicting Armageddon every day of the week. But ya know what sticks in my craw? One day down the road, a nuke probably will get lit off, and the moonbat that got it right that day is actually gonna earn some street cred.

[RightWhale]

Could be. Has been possible since 1956.

[BallyBill]

Yisrayl "Buffalo Bill" Hawkins..

Vladimir "Black Bart" Renoir laughs at this guys name.

I guess if he keeps predicting the “end” one of those times he will be correct.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Crap! I haven’t even got my IRS “rebate” check yet! Well, at least I can stop “worrying” about “global warming” or “climate change” or whatever they are calling it this week.
