End of the World!!!

It's the last day of the world! Or at least so says the self-proclaimed prophet pastor Harold Camping of Family Radio Worldwide out of Oakland, CA. Based on mathematical calculations derived from his interpretations of the bible, the rapture is to occur today May 21, 2011. Although being 89 years old, Camping may have simply confused the end of the with the end of his world.

However Pastor Camping is certainly an opinion with some credibility. Afterall he has experience in the predicting the end of the world business. Initially Camping had set the end of the world for September 6, 1994. Now that may not have worked out entirely as planned, but according to Camping he conceeded he may have made a slight mathematical error. And who amongst us hasn't forgotten to carry the 2. Clearly second times a charm.

On an NPR broadcast one woman went so far as to drop out of medical school upon learning of Campings prediction, move with her husband to Florida to live with their small child, and budget all of their money so they would completely run out of money today. There's putting all of your chips on a table.

So should you start wondering where everyone has run off to or why no one is answering your calls. Have no worries. They've just been raptured off to pillowy heaven, while you've been left with the rest of us to a 100 years of torment and nashing of teeth. Well at least you'll have plenty of company.
