The end of the world is nigh!
Are you still here? Is anyone reading this blog. Please let us know as the world should have ended by now.
Harold Camping is the one who has predicted this. He predicted it would end on Sept 6. That was in in 1994.
He then updated his calculations to say it should have been May 21, 2011. When the world didn’t end he realised his mistake in that he had taken the date at which the decision would be made for the actual end of the world. The actual end of the world is today, the 21st of October 2011.
Though it probably depends on which time zone you’re in as to when it happens.

Still two and a half hours to go here, but I am feeling a bit disconnected.
However, this could be due to me finishing off the wine.
I shall be very cross if it’s not true as I have now drunk all of the wine. -

If the world is ending tonight then I’ll probably win the lottery and not have any time to enjoy it.

Maybe it has ended and we’re all in the next world. Or the one after. Or whatever.
Anyway, it’s not that good, ‘cos the politics hasn’t improved much. On the other hand, Waitrose have just opened a shop in my hometown,and their chipolata sausages are quite tasty, so maybe it’s not so bad, and I got the best haircut I’ve had in months yesterday, after my old and trusted barber retired last Christmas; so whatever world it is, I’ll go along with it.
Or something like that…

The picture accompanying this post is a bit disconcerting because it looks like a cross between everyone’s favourite war-criminal and a superannuated royal chump!
I don’t want to meet either of them in this world or the next, thanks very much.

In this part of Australia it would not be easy to tell if the world came to an end.
Any clues. Our cat is unaware. -

To mis-quote the ‘Bugs Bunny’ character ‘Marvin the Martin’ –
“Where’s the kaboom? There was supposed to be an earth-shattering kaboom!” … “Ah well – back to the jolly old drawing board”Mr Camping’s ‘end of the world’ scenario reminds me of the 1955 Asimov short story “The Last Trump”. [Summary – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_Trump ]
Perhaps he too will now promote calendar reform, so we can have ‘another’ year 2011 for The Rapture in due course?

With the thunder and lightning that has just woken me, the old fool may well be right.

Western Tuscany reporting in. the only thing that seems to have died is an evil, cold north wind called La Tramonta; though I expect it to rise again at the third hour.
Ciao, Tutti

Perhaps Camping’s demonstrably duff calculations were predicated on a hockey stick graph.

Maybe Harold Camping’s world ended yesterday? Someone should pop round and check he hasn’t snuffed it.
