As the deadline for the Apocalpyse passed in the Pacific islands, New Zealand and Australia, it seems the end of the world prediction is fizzling.
Twitter users around the world expressed their mock disappointment to the "non-rapture."
Daniel Boerman tweeted: "I'm from New Zealand, it is 6:06PM, the world has NOT ended. No earthquakes here, all waiting for the rapture can relax for now. #Rapture"
In Australia, Jon Gall tweeted: "#Rapture time here in Melbourne. A rather quiet sort of rapture if you ask me." Also writing, "Well we have had the #Rapture going for 50 minutes now. So far it hasn't interrupted my fish & chips and glass of stout."
Similarly disappointed KillaJeules wrote, "So it's 6:37pm here in Brisbane, Australia. No earthquakes. No beaming up of Christians. No zombie apocalypse. No surprises haha."

The rapture is supposed to be today and the end of the world is supposed to be on 21 October 2011 so we aren’t out of the woods yet.
The Rapture took place back in the early 1960s but we haven’t realized it yet!
How about End of the World... on hold... BBQ.
No! Really!
HAS ANYONE SEEN MY CAT?????
effin losers....
We should ping the raptured ones and if they don’t answer we are bad people?
Everyone at my mother in laws house that we were visiting last night said that according to scripture no one will know when, meaning that it absolutely wasn’t happening last night. Prayers up for all who were decieived, so that they will not be discouraged and may now see the true light.
Okay seriously I am now wondering something I heard so many stories
Rapture 6PM New Zealand time but it will happen like a wave throughout the world
At 6PM Camping was predicting a HUGE earthquake,
I understood it as 6PM Rapture no fanfare unless you are a good person.
Oct 21 crap hits the fan the world is hit with fire and it ends.
LOL! Who says I’ll wear underwear!
>Just like Y2K....all revved up and no place to go!
Well...maybe not redlined but I was on the phone with France at 20:15 EST 12/31/1999 because of an “unexpected” bug
in some software we supported. After a few code changes and a recompile the problem was fixed before Y2k reached America.
Actually , for a lot of people today, the world did end.
All of my critters are still here they must be sinners especially the roosters.
I bet a whole passel of goats has gone missing.
Maybe it was because the guy spent millions of dollars putting up signs all over the world?
The Gregorian calendar is proleptic before 1582 (assumed to exist before 1582) while the Julian calendar is proleptic before year AD 1 (because non-quadrennial leap days were used between 45 BC and AD 1).
The following equation gives the number of days (actually, dates) that the Gregorian calendar is ahead of the Julian calendar, called the secular difference between the two calendars. A negative difference means the Julian calendar is ahead of the Gregorian calendar.[27]
D = H - \lfloor \tfrac{H}{4} \rfloor - 2
where D is the secular difference; H is the hundreds digits of the year using astronomical year numbering, that is, use (year BC) − 1 for BC years; and \lfloor\tfrac{H}{4}\rfloor is the floor function of \tfrac{H}{4}. The floor function truncates (removes) any decimal fraction of a positive real number (⌊4.75⌋ = 4), but avoids the ambiguity of truncating a negative number containing a decimal fraction by returning the more negative of its neighboring integers (⌊−1.25⌋ = −2).
The calculated difference increases by one in a centurial year (a year ending in '00) at either 29 February Julian or 1 March Gregorian, whichever is later. For positive differences, 29 February Julian is later, whereas for negative differences, 1 March Gregorian is later.[28][29]
I bought into that about 25 years ago...

Apparently it doesn't occur to this fella that he may not have had part in the Rapture...
Only Jesus' followers saw him head up into heaven...Likely that's the way it will be/was at the Rapture...
Actually, the people most familiar with Camping are shortwave radio hobbyists due to his long history of strong multi-frequency broadcasting. When I was 12 and got my first SW radio, Camping's Family Radio was one of the first stations I heard.
