THE OFFICIAL LAST FRIDAY EVER BEFORE DOOMSDAY SILLINESS THREAD

[Lucky9teen]

It's the end of the world as we know it. Apparently.

Harold Camping, the man behind the May 21, 2011, judgement day "campaign" is thoroughly convinced that the day marks the beginning of the end. Then again, he did get it wrong once before.

Their "Undeniable" Proof- (the Caravan reads "The Bible Guarantees It")
By Emily Cheever

I’m not going to lie to you guys but doing this research was less fun and more confusing.  Confusing because most of the infallible proof that they had revolved around numbers.  Numbers, it seems to me, that were just made up to prove fact.  Essentially it’s around the same logic as this:

My name has five letters.

There are four seasons.

5-4=1

1 is the purest number.

Therefore I am the second coming of Christ.

Alright, it might not be that crazy, but it’s almost there.  And keep your panties on people, I do not believe that I’m the second coming of Christ.  Although I do think that turning water into wine would be awesome.  Would it be a fine full bodied Merlot or a crisp Riesling?   

Alright, so the actual numbers.  Keep in mind the numbers that they start off with are all kind of made up- they argue that they got these numbers because God wanted them to receive them around now.  7! Oh sorry, did I startle you?  God was just sending me a number. 

According to the ambassadors, they have discovered that the great flood that Noah had to deal with was 4990 B.C.  In the Bible it also said that God told Noah that he had seven days before the great flood.

Elsewhere in the Bible (2 Peter 3:8) one day to God equals 7000 years to us.  Which was really the whole defense of the Scopes trial and led to some sweet monologin’ in Inherit the Wind.

OK, so 7000 years after 4990 B.C. is 2011.  Then if you add in the leap years and what not it rounds up to May 21st, 2011.  Or something.

So their other proof is going up from the exact date of the crucifixtion, which according to them is April 1st, 33 A.D.  Was that the first April Fools Day joke?  ‘Cause in that case, April Fools should technically be April 3rd, because everyone was all like “Christ is dead!”  and then He was all like “No I ain’t B*tches! April Fools!”  I don’t care if you just found that blasphemous.  Jesus Christ playing pranks is hilarious.  "You're blind! April Fools! Now you can see! LOLz, guys!"

Back to the numbers.  After April 1st, 33 A.D. there are 722,500 days until May 21st.  Why is the number 722,500 important?  It isn’t!  Yay arbitration!

To the folks at Family Radio, the number 722,500 is represented by the equation 5x10x17x5x10x17, which are symbolic numbers.  5 means atonement, 10 means completeness and 17 means heaven.  And then you do that twice?  Hey, why not! 

Then there’s the theory that between April 1st, 33 A.D. and April 1st 2011 is 1,978 years.  Then you multiply that by the number of days in a solar year (365.2422 days) and then add 51 days (because that’s how many days are between April 1st and May 21st) and you get 722,500.  INDISPUTABLE EVIDENCE, PEOPLE!

So anyway, that's the proof that the Bible tells you.   In any case, there's still a chance we're all doomed on Saturday (or at least 2012 for that matter - it's totally going to happen). So there's only one question left to ask.

What would you listen to as humanity came to an end? Hard rock? Classical? Something on the lighter side?

These four older ladies who lived in Yugoslavia always sat outside together near the church and chatted about when they were younger. One month ago they pooled their money together and bought a laptop.



Never having been, but having heard all about Florida, they just happened to click on St. Augustine, FL. They read about the "Fountain of Youth" claimed by the Spaniards when they arrived there. They collected up all they had left and sent for four bottles of the water. As soon as it arrived, they drank as directed.

The rest of this story will make you a believer, because here they are today...................

No......This is TRUE! Really! Would We lie to you?

We have a limited supply of this water
Available at an incredibly low price of just $1,499.95 a bottle.
Seriously ...

HURRY BEFORE THE INVENTORY RUNS OUT!!!! Make checks payable to:

Democratic National Committee

[Mr. Jazzy]

Will the world end before 2pm on Saturday? I just asking because we are having a yard sale and we want to get whats left over back into the garage.

[dfwgator]

I've always thought that song needed a little more of something, but I can't figure out exactly what...

[Lucky9teen]

[I cannot think of a name]

“we are having a yard sale”

And now provided with the perfect excuse: “sorry folks, I can’t take checks, what with the world ending and all. Has to be cash only.”

So, will Looty Guy be involved in all the post-rapture looting?

I’m trying to talk the wife into making a huge beef briskit. My favorite....with sauerkraut and new potatoes with a dollop of sour cream on ‘em.

Will the world end before 2pm on Saturday?

This is sure gonna mess up the NHL Hockey semi-finals.

I got groceries yesterday. Today I rushed up to Walgreens to get my prescriptions, just in case they ain't there tomorrow. :)

[Logic n' Reason]

I don’t know who she is, or where she is...and I can’t see her face....but with a “soul” like that, I’d marry her in a New York minute!

[Rightly Biased]

Ask Chris Walken he may know.

[absolootezer0]

you know the worst part about the rapture?

democrats will control the country.
(i guess explains the great tribulation thing tho)

[Pan_Yan]

Do we know what time zone this is kicking off in?

The nutjob that started all this said it would be 6 pm and he lives in the Eastern Time Zone. For clarification, that's the nutjob cult leader in New York that started all the May 21 crap, not the nutjob cult leader in Washington who's trying to start Armageddon.

[dfwgator]

If it means I get to avoid watching another Rangers’ bullpen meltdown....then I say “Bring it On!”

22. Blue Öyster Cult - Don’t Fear The Reaper

[Pan_Yan]

Blue Oyster Cult — Don’t Fear the Reaper I've always thought that song needed a little more of something, but I can't figure out exactly what...

It needs a new freaking video. Seriously, BOC is a great band, but they should have never allowed themselves to be filmed in the 70's.
