Have you heard May 21 2011?

just read this last week, I just want to know what's your reaction to this, or if you believe this. News shouldn't be making this such a big deal, but its all over now, in youtube, yahoo,etc.. some people are claiming that the world will end on 21st of May. this man named Bryan Haubert has been spreading this.

of course for obvious reasons I don't believe this..

You should explain what that date means first, as I have no idea what you are talking about.

I've heard of May 21, 2011.  Now then, what's so special about it?

the supposed rapture or end of the world.

Where have you people been? Of course he's referring to the scientifically-backed assertion that May 21 is judgment day.

I don't think any person can accurately predict the end of the world.

" the supposed rapture or end of the world. "

I thought judgement day was the other week? We're supposed to have another one now? Wasn't the next one scheduled for December 2012?

Guys, I'm starting to think that these people predicting the end of the world don't know what they are talking about. If Terminator can't get it right, nobody can.

Cute but dogmatic.

Bummer. :(  It's Sunday today and I'm gonna watch Thor.  Will that help?  Ooooh and next Sunday I can watch Priest! 

Well fuck, I have an assignment for the day before. God damnit.

Well, it's been raining here in Northern Kentucky for almost the entire month straight. April was officially the wettest month since 1930 or something.

If that's not proof, I don't know what is.

Biggest waste of words.

I wonder how disappointed they will be...

It's bullshit, of course.

Go to a church and confess your sins the day before just to be sure.

" Cute but dogmatic. "

This is like what, the 5th time the world has been said to end in the past 10 years?

I just marked my calendar. Can't wait!

At least I'll have a couple days to play The Witcher 2.

Here is a website with a long list of other (wrong) end of the world predictions.  220 failed predictions.  Harold Camping, a radio evangelist, is behind the current date of May 21st, 2011.  

" At least I'll have a couple days to play The Witcher 2.

Also, I wonder which deadly thing will happen? I'm hoping for asteroid.

What the fuck are you even talking about? (For the record, I've had this topic open since the OP posted it a minute ago and haven't refreshed, so it might be filled with comments already.)

Directly after my exams, typical. "

well...At least I'll have 4 days to complete L.A. Noir before we all blink out of existence. Plus My birthday will have past, so at least I'll have some B-day cake before I die as well. All and all, good way to go out.

I'm curious what got these believers to actually believe that a catastrophe will be happening. were they drugged? was something told to them? like for instance that former girl in the military that's now joined in this movement...

oh yeah i saw that on a billboard on the way to work the other day, i thought it was just another religious get together, you know listen to some people talk then get your free meal.

The world will end on my birthday?

If you said you came from the future and in 2013 everyone is under the rule of an intergalactic Potato People, idiots would believe it.

I didn't want to go to my graduation anyway.

i'll bring the popcorn!

Well that's stupid.  I was excited for Dirt 3.

You open that  page, the first thing you see "Can I have a donation please? KTHX"

Huh? Oh bugger, thats a shame. Wish I made more of my life. Oh well.

Dammit that's the first day I go to work.  That means I'll die working....ugh.

So I should cancel my pre-orders?

I was really hoping to start estrogen before I died OH WELL

Well, we had a good run.

Bring it May 21st. I fucking dare you.

Just once I would like to be in a group of people like this when the clock rolls over to the day after the world is supposed to end just to see how they react to realizing they were wrong, and that now they gotta go crawling back to get their job and go back to the houses they abandoned, and to face all those people they harassed about the world ending.

The same guy claimed this would happen in 1992.

I try not to listen to crazy people.

Awesome
