Post End of the world - Oct 21, 2009!
Mentioned on the Pharyngula blog today, the end of the world is this upcoming week.

Shoot. 6 days before my birthday. Should I cancel my gift order from Amazon?

I seem to recognize these graphics. Didn't this guy already predict the end of the world?

Oh yea, he did. September 29, 2008. Oh, and on September 21, 2009.

Just an FYI, the Bible has some harsh things to say about "False Prophets".

Weeeelllll, he's not necessarily a false prophet. ;) He could just be a really bad mathematician. Maybe he'll get it right one of these times.

His track record is worse than that of a broken clock. He might as well program his web site to always display tomorrow's date and save himself whatever minimal effort it takes to be continuously wrong.

Heh. I wonder if you could create a protest sign on a stick that does that?

Oh man. "The End of the World is..." and then just have a flap display that would allow the holder to change the date at will.

Or I suppose you could go modern and get a flat LED display that you could program to display random dates at a certain time interval. Either way, totally awesome.

Did he say what time of day, because I need to know if I should make dinner?
