Have the earthquakes started yet?

Or are they so bad, they've knocked out all communications the reason we haven't seen them in the news.

That may very well be. Or perhaps TM and 6String were among the "chosen" 3%?

C'mon Aussies, you have a commitment here! Don't go to bed without checking in ;)

What's everyone doing for Rapture Day?

I decided to load up and play Left4Dead2, which I haven't touched in a while. I thought it was fitting since I will likely be left behind and this is the second time this Camping guy has predicted the rapture.

Well it didn't happen here in the UK as a whole, although I think the Rapture has claimed me as it's first victim... just stubbed my toe! Ouch! Bad Rapture!

I have CLARITY... and all that...


Camping pinpointed May 21, at about 5:59 p.m. ET, as the exact time when those chosen by God will ascend to heaven while cataclysmic earthquakes begin to rock earth.

So we are NOT there yet...
I plan on taking my lawn chair, sit in the backyard and enjoy a glass of wine, while listening to some Grateful Dead.

He later revised that (as noted in the NPR/Atlantic article cited earlier in this thread). It was to happen by timezone at 6pm, starting at the International Dateline. Regardless, it was to have happened by the end of the day on the 21st. Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on your perspective), the 21st is over for a significant portion of the world.

The article you linked to puts it at Jerusalem time, which at the moment is about 9:30pm on the 21st.

Well i have survived the Rapture. The day was quite hectic which was good as it kept my eyes on what i needed to do. Once the red sky got higher and higher on the horizon i was throwing down the coffee looking into the sunrise and thinking of all the good times.
Next thing i knew i was at work and the thoughts all left me. I was sad as i e=really wasnt in the mood for work, but no such luck.

Its close to 1100pm now in Jerusalem and there is nothing on the World News . . . ..

Woohoo i alway wanted that Second Generation, Phase II SR Viper RT/10, GTS now i have that chance

forget earthquakes, i just had a giant spider enter my room.

but the Rapture's efforts to take my life were in vain, for I trapped it under a glass and threw it out the window.

Rob: 1, Rapture: 0

EDIT: shoulda squished it.

How sad, I was on a plane when the earthquakes were supposed to start... I had hoped the view from above would be awesome as we dropped from the clouds.... unfortunately earth still looks exactly the same and my hopes for an awesome view were squashed.... At least we're all alive still.

I did the same thing yesterday evening that I did on December 31, 1999 (remember Y2K??). I went out pub/bar crawling with friends on the Las Vegas Strip.
We had fun! Ohhhhhhhh my head....
