I know, for too long we've all thought the world was ending on the 21st of December, 2012. Those Mayans promised us. But since they're all dead now, the world really ended a long time ago for them.
Now, a new date has been proposed.
The 21st May, 2011. That's right people, only 27 more days to rap up all your unfinished business.
This is the genius idea of (who else) a rightwing American nutjob with too much money and too little sense. Family Radio network founder Harold Camping. He also prosephied that the world would end in 1994, but later admitted to doing his adding wrong or forgetting to carry the 1. He's sure his Maths is right this time though. Ruly-truly.
If you feel the need, search for his page, it's full of bizarre claims basically taking random numbers from random Bible excerpts and then using those numbers to make a date for the End Days.
Allow me to use my prophetic powers in order to determine the true date the world will end.
I am the Ungodly Prophet, and I see.....
My favourite number is 17. I am currently 22. I feel like the oldest I will ever be is 37.
(1+7) x (2+2) = 32
=
3/2/37
The world will end on the third of February 2037.
(Guess I will live past 37)
(Or, if God really is American, than maybe it'll be the 2nd of March 2037.)
If you do feel the need to prepare for the rapture, apparently there are actually books designed to prepare you for this.
How to Survive the End of the World as We Know It: Tactics, Techniques, and Technologies for Uncertain Times
The End of the World: Stories of the Apocalypse
End of the Present World and the Mysteries of the Future Life
I can't tell you anything about them because I don't think the world is going to end, except that they're cheap, (which definitely says nothing about their quality. O_O ) so might be good for a laugh.
So, what do y'all think? Is the world really ending? Anyone packing up a swiss army knife and a supply of canned food and heading for the hills?
