I’m amazed that no one has commented on SDMB, so if I am blind and somebody already has, feel free to merge or lock this. Well, well. It seems Harold Camping had a stroke. I actually think that is unfortunate (but not unfortunate enough to be worth pitting). I \*\*really \*\*want him to stay hale and hearty until October 22. The humiliation of being wrong yet again and having to live through that humiliation seems to me to be the most appropriate punishment for that dude. I wonder if he would try to announce a “Spiritual End of the World”? Take lots of vitamins Harold… PS Unfortunately, I don’t believe he can be sued for what he did, which is why I would like to see him humiliated. ---

from the link: > [@](#): > > The 89-year-old radio evangelist was rushed to hospital from his Alameda, California home and although he is out of danger now, his friends and family fear that the stroke, which was on Camping’s right side, may affect his ability to speak. so, would that shut the bastard up? Or will he keep on spreading BS by having somebody else read out stuff he types out on the keyboard? ---

Unfortunately, his faithful will probably only view it as a sign that God is going to bring him home ahead of, or coinciding with the Rapture. ---
