Mark your calendars for May 21, 2011. Not sure how they came up with that one, but they sure scooped those 2012 zealots, didn't they?


I'm going to have to check to see if they've renewed their radio license beyond that date...

1. You know that at the end of the day they're going to say, "April Fools!"

3. Maybe, just maybe, Harold Camping got his math right this time
Camping, 88, has scrutinized the Bible for almost 70 years and says he has developed a mathematical system to interpret prophecies hidden within the Good Book. One night a few years ago, Camping, a civil engineer by trade, crunched the numbers and was stunned at what he'd found: The world will end May 21, 2011.

This is not the first time Camping has made a bold prediction about Judgment Day.

On Sept. 6, 1994, dozens of Camping's believers gathered inside Alameda's Veterans Memorial Building to await the return of Christ, an event Camping had promised for two years. Followers dressed children in their Sunday best and held Bibles open-faced toward heaven.

But the world did not end. Camping allowed that he may have made a mathematical error. He spent the next decade running new calculations, as well as overseeing a media company that has grown significantly in size and reach.

4. If I knew FOR A FACT that the world was going to end in one year.
That would be a VERY interesting year.
