Only two weeks left: http://www.familyradio.com/index2.html



Why do they keep doing this?

i think we should keep a record and when it don't happen....stick it to them!!!!!

I'd better have my birthday party early...

good job the london meet is only a week away!!!

oh dear .. would there still be time to borrow a small fortune and buy a sports car?

I'd at least like to know whether I would've got Olympic tickets

Oh I;m hoping it does happen...the Rapture will get rid of all of em...

why don't they double check their calculations now! 2 weeks before the big event!!!

that way when it does not happen they will be saved the egg on the face with the usual "misstake in the calculations due to the adjustment of the calenders"

mm.. they'll have all the calculations wrong, got the wrong dates, and in the end all there will be is a small sign saying "we apologise for the inconvenience"

been there, done that, stopped taking it seriously

'stopped taking it seriously '


Do you mean at some point you *did* take this sort of thing seriously?

only a fortnight left http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/brunel/F19585?thread=5985941 he better get a move on then!!!

Just so there's no over-tarring with that brush there... Harold Camping has eyes rolled at him by evangelical Christians, too.

he probably thinks he'll be safer outdoors in his tent, proper preparation and all that, bit of a survival nut is he, old harold there???

Sounds like you may know more about him than I do

no????

you just told me harold was camping!!!!

Well, sheesh, if you're going to mock what someone says, you can at least know the person's name!

This post has been removed.

oh harold camping is his name"!!!!!!!

i thought you meant harold had gone camping to avoid/get involved in it and people were rolling their eyes at him!!!!

That was me. I will try again:



I heard a bit of a discussion of this thing on the radio (CBC) the other day. The president of some sort of U.S. Atheist club was on and to my mind he made a sad idiot of himself, coming off as a malicious, mean prig that no one would want to be in the same bar with. 'We're going to have big parties on the 25th (23rd, 24th -- he couldn't seem to get the date right) and laugh at all these idiotic, stupid Christians! Har! Har!' he said (I paraphrase).

Oh bothERR!! As that's seven days before my birthday, that nips the big celebrations in the bud, doesn' t it...have to start my of early, won't I*sigh*.
