Today kids we are going to talk about numbers, and more importantly how if you look really hard you can find numbers to say almost anything.
For instance, there are three chairs in my room now, they each have four legs, making four a total of 12 legs. When I was 12, the year was 2003, 2+0+0+3=5, the fifth shelf in my bookcase has most of my light reading material. There are 12 hardcover books on that shelf. The Necronomicon is also on that shelf and has 12 letters in it. It is a collection of stories by H.P. Lovecraft, including the Call of C'thulhu. By assigning numerical values to call with a = 0, b = 1, and so forth then the first word translates into 2+0+11+11. This comes out to 2, 0, 11, 11, or 11, 2011. This mathematically proves that C'thulhu will rise from the sunken city of Rl'yeh in November of 2011.
It also proves that I am just as capable of taking numbers, using them to get more numbers and eventually getting something vaguely apocalyptic.
In all seriousness though, if the world ends on May 21, 2011, I will publicly apologize for being such an asshole on May 22, deal?

1. No, but on the off-chance that it did, I can shout "FUCK! I knew my sister would cause it!" (it's her birthday on the 21st)
2. If it did, I'd be doing my usual routine... Eat, sleep, work, not getting laid...
However, if there was some holy judgment happening and I had a few moments left to spare, I would SO turn round and make out with my work colleage... even if her other half would kick my ass if this holy judgment didn't destroy us. It'd be worth it.

I like how people will try to somehow avoid the consequences of Diving Judgement Day.
I mean, I'm agnostic but if we God is real and Judgement Day is happening, no fallout shelter is going to save you from the Final Day of Reckoning, mates
That being said, no I don't believe in this, just some more crazy people with delusions of divine existence.
How this deserves any more attention than a crazy hobo claiming it will rain dogs and shrimp sandwiches on some random date, I don't know.

Its funny when people think they can predict things or see conspiracy theories by using maths. MATHS of all things. So arbitrary, particularly when it comes to the bible.
Anyway thanks for the links, I saved this into my favorites as well as the wikipedia page of this Harold Camping guy just for the humor factor of watching him eat humble pie on May 22nd.

Seems like they're prevalent in a lot of major cities, to be honest. I hadn't spotted any or even heard of the nonsense last month, then, as soon as I moved, I noticed one on the rotating billboard right outside where I work. Funny part of it being, I first noticed it while out back on a smoke break, and it happens to be the date two of my closest friends are getting married. I snapped a picture of it sent it to one of them; we got a kick out of it.NeutralDrow said:
Added note: When I become Undisputed Ruler of the World, I am tearing that gorramed thing down. No matter how many times the city fixes it, within a couple days, a few slats don't rotate properly and the thing screeches like a dying animal. A really loud dying animal.
OT: 1) Absolutely not. Like has been mentioned, every cult, religion and movement has pretty much every day of the year mapped out as the end of the world. I firmly believe it's hogwash, and if any of them ever happen to be right...well, I guess I won't have to admit defeat, because we'll be dead. Repenting isn't going to help me much, either. I know where I'm going. I do believe my service elevator has been ready for years.
2) Get absolutely blitzed and have a laugh at the fact that I won't have to suffer through an equally monumental hangover.
No, it's because he failed math in grade 4. You'd have to ADD one, due to the "Year Zero" when the calendar rotates between B.C. and A.D., so his "math" only points out that it should have happened two years ago. And even if there's no accounting for a Year Zero, then it'd have been last year. How one becomes a civil engineer with no grasp of integers is beyond me, but I guess anything is possible when you look like the biggest weasel of all time.Jewrean said:
Also, math and engineering and radio broadcasting is science, and science is for heathens, and all that jazz. So, you know...well, I have nothing. I honestly can't believe I'm at a loss, here.
