It’s just past midnight on the east coast of the US. Did the world end yet?
Because I thought the Earth was destroyed on 10 September 2008 (at 7:35:05am UTC) already.
Not until 11pm Pacific Time. That’s when reports ought to be not coming in from New Zealand and the rest of the area.
Pre-emptive <Ha-ha!> to those fuckwits who are waiting, with Bibles in hand, expecting Rapture.
Dammit, I want to go looting!!!
Hah! 
I think I’m starting to feel pulled up !
No wait, false alarm, was just gas.
No, there’ll be summer reruns until mid-September; then, from what I hear, it’s been picked up for another season.
I’m all ready for it!
Yes. You missed it.
The rapture happened all right.
Problem is, there were no true Christians.
Those laughing about these “crackpots” might sober up if they realized that 21 May 2011 was indeed Doomsday for a significant portion of the gazillions of alternate universes. It’s just that your consciousness vanished in a puff in those parallel universes; the fact that “you” are still posting at SDMB just means that a version of “you” has survived in one of the few worlds that didn’t evaporate.
Apologies, however, to those of you who gave away all your worldly possessions in anticipation of Armageddon. I don’t think physicists have a way for you to travel backwards into an alternate universe and replenish your IRA account. Just try to console yourself that a version of yourself is now in a fantastical Paradise feasting on raisins or virgins or whatever…
hth
I don’t know about you guys, but I’m lacin’ up my lootin’ boots.
Well it’s quarter past Rapture where I am and nothing’s happened yet. You’d think God would have better timekeeping skills.
Um, not that I believe anything will happen at this time, but I’ve read, many places, that it’s supposed to happen at about 6pm CENTRAL TIME (on the 21st).
By my clock, that’s not for another 17 hours or so.
Doing a Google search seems to confirm this.
Again, not that I believe it (I don’t). Just so we know when we can start officially pointing our fingers and laughing.
Utter nonsense of course, I mean, as I am a Christi
The only common element of every apocolyptic prophesy in human history is that none have ever come true.
But this time Charlie Brown…
Well, fuck. Looks like I got to go to class tomorrow after all.
Sometimes, a guy just can’t catch a break, you know?
Let me guess: you didn’t study for the big trig mid-term.
Who is going to miss New Zealand anyway? We certainly won’t miss getting thumped by them at Rugby.
Meanwhile, I think I have two hours to go and I have a full carton of beer. What will I do?
6:12pm in Sydney. Still here. Guess I didn’t make Santa’s “nice” list…
