Huh, I completely forgot about Harold Camping's second prediction until I saw this thread.  At least he's stopped trying to find the date now.

He actually had a stroke recently, and he can do literally everything but talk coherently. So maybe he learned his lesson from that.

As seen here.
Even God wants him to shut the fuck up.
Exactly what I was thinking.

What would you do if a dude was embarrassing you like that? :P

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

Move to British Columbia, and adopt a new identity, complete with a fake mustache. :P

Great, now how am I supposed to justify the expense of buying a crossbow?

or maybe Valve goes out of business because they invested too heavily in something which then fails - like, say, human civilization.
Alternatively, initiate strife to refuse additional baked goods, and then abscond.

For those who are REALLY bummed about this, thinking a cyclic calender could have actually ended and were looking forward to it...

The last major Mayan era change corresponded with the arrival of the Spanish Conquistadors.

I for one look forward to meeting our new alien overlords and their brutal faith of repression. I just hope they choose to share their medicine with me when they inevitably get us all sick.

Knowing Belgium, everyone will vote for themselves out of mistrust for anyone else, and some kind of weird direct democracy coalition will need to be formed from 11 million or so individuals.

Modify a crossbow enough, and you can always justify paying with pennies at high velocity.

You can always deliver the good ol' Bond one-liner "Keep the change" after taking someone down with that.

Personally, I think the only really reliable way to tell when the world is going to end is to find out when Half Life Episode three will come out.

'Course with Dwarf Fortress, the only relevant question is, "How far away will the ASCII gibs splash on landing?"
5 squares per limb, if you raise the north orthoclase bridge before sacrificing one of them so they have a straight shot to the bottom of the chasm.

And immediately after that, go into a monologue with moar one liners.

Penny action crossbow

Well, one of the seals broke when Duke Nukem Forever got released (despite some disappointed reviews). The principle is that it finally got released. Since then, all kinds of things have been going weirder than usual.

Apparently one of the others is FFC; it will contain more cutscenes than can physically exist in the universe.

Oh god looking at the list of dates predicted for apocalyptic events article, this has to be the funniest.

Quote
In Leeds, England in 1806 a hen began laying eggs on which the phrase "Christ is coming" was written. Eventually it was discovered to be a hoax. The hoaxster had written on the eggs in a corrosive ink so as to etch the eggs, and reinserted the eggs back into the hen.

AHAHAHAHAHA, that's great. The four hens of the second coming.

Crossbows? Everybody knows the most economically stable item on the planet is the graphical calculator. I swear they cost exactly as much as they did twenty years ago....
