Evangelical broadcaster Harold Camping convinced followers that the world would end on September 6, 1994. As you may remember, it didn’t.
Mr. Camping looked back at his Bible-derived math and recalculated; the Apocalypse would occur on May 21, 2011. Mercy me, wrong again. Back to the drawing board. Okay, that’s it: October 21, 2011.
Oops, third strike. It wasn’t a total loss, though. Mr. Camping was awarded the 2011 Ig Nobel Prize in Mathematics for his efforts.
Doomsday finally arrived for Harold Camping, but the rest of the world didn’t go with him. He died last Sunday.
Congress-creature Michele Bachmann, the Republican representing the 6th District of Minnesota, the Planet Mars, the Tea Party Caucus, and the voice of the Lord, warns that The End Is Near:
“ … President Obama waived a ban on arming terrorists in order to allow weapons to go to the Syrian opposition. … US taxpayers are now paying to give arms to terrorists including Al Qaeda.”
“Now what this says to me, I’m a believer in Jesus Christ, as I look at the End Times scripture, this says to me that the leaf is on the fig tree and we are to understand the signs of the times … we are to understand where we are in God’s end times history.”
Music for the Mayan Apocalypse by ancient Mayan songstress Skeeter Davis.
If universal extinction takes longer than two and a half minutes, there’s more music after the jump.
The Bible predicts that today, October 21, 2011, will be the End of Days, claims Christian broadcaster Harold Camping. Brother Camping also said that about May 21, 1988, September 6, 1994, and May 21, 2011.
Today’s Forecast: fire, brimstone, plagues, dead sinners. The Righteous will fly upwards to Heaven but, due to the recession, they will fly Economy Class.
The world ends on a Friday. How cruel. A merciful God would at least let us have the weekend.
Actually, Mr. Camping is a bit more hesitant about today’s Rapture. He’s saying the world will “probably” end today. We’re waiting to hear the odds from Vegas.

In case you missed it: Experts have determined that, despite the forecasts of evangelical prophet Harold Camping, the world has not ended. You can be sure that fundamentalist ranting has not, either.
Note: The End of the World News is the title of a novel by Anthony Burgess (1917 – 1993). He was inspired by the closing formula solemnly intoned by BBC radio newsreaders: “This is the end of the World News.”
