    I notice there was no timezone specified for when R-Day is supposed to start. So I suppose that means there will be a rolling rapture, starting at the international dateline and sweeping westward around the globe as Saturday arrives at each geographical location. This seems very sensible, actually, as it addresses any rapture bandwidth issues that might arise. Of course internal buffering may still be necessary where dense pockets of the Blessed are encountered.

    You, sir, are my kind of heathen! Rapture bandwidth issues indeed.

    So who is your authority, Stephen Hawking or God? God lays out the timeline of history in the Bible. Believers have been warning the world that, in general, a judgment day was coming. Now, believers can know from the Bible that the 17th day of the 2nd month of the Biblical calendar this year is the day of the Rapture and when the time of judgment begins. If you don't want to believe it, that is your business.

    In a matter of hours, the world will see that God was right all along. There is still time to look into what the Bible says about this matter.

    At least Steven Hawkings can back up his claims Mathematically !

    If you hang out right on the International Date line, you could jump back and forth across it at midnight to keep your May 21 exposure to a bare minimum. Might work if bandwidth is an issue!

    Steve,

    Harold Camping was wrong before in his book "1994?" where he predicted that Jesus would come back and the only thing Harold will get from the news is attention..

    Other experts say Harold is wrong and they say that Harold Camping is over literalizing certain passages and that the Bible was never meant to be interpreted in that way. Harold stopped debating people a long time ago but he claims he knows something that even Jesus or the angels in heaven don't know which means his ego is greater or equal with God. You will still be here on Sunday and I'm sorry about people who sold their homes and life savings only to be mislead.

    I'm standing at the North Pole and suddenly my butt just disappeared.

    Was it in the time zone where this all begins?

    Or did a polar bear just take a bite out of it?

    22:00 on Saturday, here. Its looking good, but a lot can happen in two hours.

    Anyone know what time zone was rapture meant to occur on?

    If it does happen I shall be very annoyed, having washed two cars today...

    Tubular,
    Anyone know what time zone was rapture meant to occur on?
    Strangely enough it's due at 6.00 p.m. in all time zones. Just imagine some huge tsunami, earthquake, cyclone travelling around the world at 1000 miles per hour at the equator.

    I'm going to put the kettle on, make some tea, put my feet up and watch from the balcony.

    See you on the other side.

    Which leads to the interesting idea that if you were just the right side of the international data line you could watch this catastrophe start nearby and take off into the distance. Then wait 24 hours for it to come around the other side and get you. I'm never in the right place at the right time:)

    I would have expected to have heard something from people in such a position by now...any body there?...

    Is it 6 PM local standard time, or daylight savings time? What about Arizona and the Indian reservations? Can even God figure out what time it is in Arizona?

    The drawing for the Quadrover is at 6pm. Good thing I won't be raptured (whether or not it happens). I'd hate to miss my chance to win that.

    Here in Wisconsin, the dead are still in their graves, with about 3-1/2 hours to go.

    Oh, and water is still wet.

    Man you lucked out then. Around here it’s like a cross between an H.P. Lovecraft novel and a George Romero film. Thank goodness for my well stocked Y2K bunker which has a generator and satellite internet access.

    Well, I suppose I must conclude that all of those currently resident in the heavenly realm still want us all here to keep doing whatever it is that we do. However, I will be looking for microwave popcorn at the grocery today; until I know the outcome of that situation, I am afraid I must reserve final judgement. But for now, funtime with propellers and xbee thingies. weeehaaaaw!

    I won't mind going to the spirit realm when it is my time for that, but not yet, and glad for that!

    PS will also be on the lookout for zombies....

    A homeless person apparently cached some clothes in the bushes a couple blocks from here. When I saw them, I was sure the Rapture had occurred and rushed down to Safeway to grab a car while the picking was good. Per Ken's recommendation, I snagged a nearly-new Subaru Forester from the parking lot (keys left in the cup-holder). What a beauty and a sheer pleasure to drive!

    I'm writing this on an ancient Win 95 box in the jail commons. My GTA arraignment is tomorrow afternoon.

    Well, don't sweat the hard time. Everyone knows the world ends at the end of 2012, so your jail time is limited by that. That's when the Mayan calendar runs out.

    Either that or the world ends about a month from now. That's when the local school calendar runs out, so I guess there's still room for debate on this one.
