I didnt read all the reply's so I hope I am not repeating old news. Around Dec 21, when the Mayans have "predicted" the end of the world, Jupiter will be in its closest orbit to Earth. Check it out, i have seen some cool animations on the net. I would think that this is more important that another Conspiracy Theory. I would check with NASA to see if they are sending any missions out in the months before. Can you imagine the possibilities of Terraforming Jupiter eventually. Here is where the research starts...

I suppose we should have a little more patience with those who think they can, baraka guru. You know they seem to be prone to violence.

A friend's wedding is on the 21st. If the world ends on that day I'll be dressed in my tuxedo and ready to meet my maker.

On the other hand, if reality comes through (doomsday prophecies are not real and you're an idiot if you believe in them,) I'll be playing a "gentleman's role" and ``dancing with bridesmaids as is appropriate.

Ourcrazymodern?

The End IS Nigh! MSD just posted "you're an idiot if you believe". Excellent.

On May 21 I will likely be locked in a dark room, staring at a glowing phosphorescent screen with images of cell contents. I don't think that I'll notice anything out of the ordinary. That is, unless I see a chloroplast in the shape of Mary.

Jupiter is a gas giant. Terraforming it would be a waste. Igniting it into a second sun would be more practical. Now, Jupiter does have 63 moons, (some of which are tectonically active!). If Jupiter were successfully ignited into a star, Callisto would be far more practical for terraforming. It already has an atmosphere.

There's a "believer" on reddit right now doing a Q&A about it. Possible he's a troll, though nothing but the topic fires any troll-dar for me, he's not being argumentative or inflammatory, just saying what he believes.

He says it's going to happen at 6am, local time. So starting left of the International Date Line and working its way West. Believers will be taken bodily to heaven and given new, perfect bodies. Nonbelievers will be in massive earthquakes and either die or live a post-apocalyptic hell on earth.

What's interesting to me is the marketing of this thing. It's "guaranteed"--like if it doesn't happen you get your money back or something. There are billboard trucks roaming my small city here proclaiming this thing. I guess if your mission is to save souls, and you've got no use for your money after a "guaranteed" date, why not blow it all now on mass marketing. I can see the logic. Still.

I noticed there were a few Family Radio folks at Yonge and Dundas in Toronto, the intersection best known for its dense pedestrian traffic.

I really wonder what these folks are going to do on May 22nd when it's just another day. They say this whole May 21st Judgement Day shit is guaranteed by the Bible. Will this invalidate the Bible?

i just wonder who came up with the 6am rule. why 6am? im pretty certain god didnt say it in the bible and its just a made up number. The question i have is, why would god be so cruel that he'd start with the pacific nations and then work his way towards the west. That would give other countries on the opposite side of the timeline up to 24hrs more, and would give the states about an extra 20 hours to repent. Americans always get the better deal.

BG, i presume that they'll blame it on human error. The bible cant be wrong. Me personally, id rather these people make the worlds biggest barbie like that Koresh fella in Waco. Ill bring the pork chops.

For reasons of his own, it seems, God allowed money & interest, full blown, into His book with no explanation of where they came from. Human error is funny.

well actually, if you mean Interest to mean Usury, then it is forbidden under Quranic law.

as far as i recall ( Levite can correct me if im wrong here), jews could charge non-jews interest, but not each other. The christians made interest fair game for all, and the muslims then put a stop to all the fun and banned the whole damn thing.

god/people (whatever) need to make up their minds.

No, dlish, I was merely referring to that very vague text. The end of the world will arrive in an unexpected manner, I assume. The cretinous games we play in the meantime will not hasten the process.

I will find myself unlikely to take the next week off. Geez, I was SO CLOSE to enjoying commonality.

Good read, Lindy! Thank you for sharing. I'd never heard of several of those - like the black sky over New England.

I don't have much worthwhile to add to the topic at hand, but then I just read Mr. D. Letterman's top ten list on this theme and liked this one enough to repeat it here:

And now I wonder why no one has yet mentioned "bacon".
