Maybe it was supposed to happen on Tuesday. But I didn't say which one.
There's one way to find out, Fusun ;)
If we are waiting for the AI winner, will we have to do this all again next week.

LOL I loved the last line..:)
HUGGGGGGGGGGG
Someone ought to teach these guys how to say, "Aw shit!! I fucked up AGAIN!!!

;-)

You joke, Catherine, but it'll be interesting to see how Harold Camping spins this. You may be closer to the explanations than you think. Let the spinning begin!
Or he is a HUGE Dr Who fan and just realized you can go into alternate and parallel timelines, and have the world end on someone else's planet earth. TARDIS to the rescue!!!!
Psssst. Please don't take this the wrong way, but how do we know it didn't happen? As all of us here, except those who aren't, are undoubtedly sinners we didn't get to go. I've yet to find anybody I know who did go, but that's more a reflection of the crowd I hang with. A positive might mean fewer people on OS, which could be why the system has been back to its regular speed all day. Of course, now we must decide whether to fight Beezlebub or join him. I'm sure we'll have a day or so to argue about that. Me? I'm stocking up on garlic, silver bullets and wooden stakes.
I'm with Oryoki Bowl. It's all about time jumping.
A certain amount of imagination is required to transform a non-event into an event.
If you bought a new outfit for the rapture can you take it back?

:0 / R
6. It is a Miracle..... smile :-)
sorry to see you weren't raptured, me too still here.
Just as I expected, it's laundry night.
#8. Harold Camping lost his nerve at 5:45 p.m. and asked Him to call the whole thing off.

Hmmm...I'd say the "American Idol" one. Definitely. :-)
Very cute. I just think it was another nutty person and a media that pushes nutty stories.
Well it lightninged and thundered here at the appointed time. Rained too. Very scary. It was like THE END OF THE WORLD. Okay, maybe not that scary, but well, THEN IT ENDED....WOOOOO...:D
I love it! My check is in the mail.........

Maybe it did happen and we're all in hell now.
Or Camping has The Satanic Verses problem -- that aint' God he's been communing with.
The poor media is understandably confused. I have heard the event that was supposed to take place today as "Doomsday" in one report and merely the "Rapture" in others. The thing is, I believe the nutty preacher was referring to the Rapture happening and had it happened, that would not have been the end of the world. According to less delusional bible scholars, when the Rapture happens, God will cause all true believers to be whisked off the Earth to join him. This event is supposed to herald the arrival of the Anti-Christ to power and then we would have seven years of his rule before the End actually happened.....or something like that.
The thing is I am a Christian but one who rarely ever darkens the door of any organized church and have been assured on more than one occasion, that I was doomed to hell. So, I figure it this way....if the Rapture happens or if it doesn't...it won't effect me since I would surely be left behind anyway. However my brother is very devout and I figure he will be outta here if the Rapture happens.

I tried to call him yesterday, just to touch base and ask him that, if he goes would he mind leaving me his bass boat. I got his answering machine.

He hasn't called me back yet.

I wonder if I should make a trip to Texas just to see if that bass boat is minus an owner yet.
"When I said "Doomsday is absolutely going to happen at 6:00 p.m. local time on May 21, 2011, didn't ANY of you realize I was speaking metaphorically?" =o)

Mr. Camping, I suggest you make a run for it!

9. None of us deserved salvation.
