What is this? Another wizard of comparable power? Now I must use my own strength in an exceedingly flashy manner so that you yield before me.


Yea, on this date next year, it will be a Saturday. The next year, a Sunday.

I have been granted divine knowledge: In the year Two Thousand Sixteen, the world shall tremble as another day is inserted into the Second Month, called by the people of that time "February 29th". This unholy day shall be a Monday, named after the collective pantheon of pagan gods known in some cultures as "Mons", savage beasts captured within orbs of power, bound to the will of mighty priests and shamans. Yea, and the darkness shall spread over the land as time itself is shattered in this end of days, this "Leap-Year".

Wait, I know when the world is really ending. I've got my calendar right in front of me, and when you get to December 31, 2012, it just ends!
It's ok, I found my old calender from 2000, and it says we're already dead, so the world can't end. Twice.

This isn't going to stop me from throwing my Apocalypse Party, as well as messing with people during my 10-year reunion next year.

An interesting social experiment, hide this fact from the people, and let's see if we can get a population boom as a result. It would also be a fun way to troll humanity; especially the end of worlder types and the types that don't want to die alone (regardless background or appearance), so they set their bar really low and get it on with anything with 2 legs. That's my hypothesis, I await the results.

EDIT:
Noticed in the article also had a suicide watch for the types that 'don't wanna die (horribly)'. Brilliant choice there, suicide: Take one horrible death (that's pretty much not coming) for another (which guarantees death by one's own hand). If God truly does exist, he'd be facepalming at everyone who takes this path.

If all it took were a contradictory scientific discovery to dissuade people who believe in this shit, they would've stopped a long time ago.  This is just one more ugly piece of reality to contort their theories around.

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.

The world will end as many times as it feels like, dammit! It told me so.

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.

Hah! This is why I've stocked a "heat death bunker" full of thermodynamic free energy. And cans of beans.

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

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.
