They missed part of it. May 21 isn't the end of the world, it's just
when Brother Camping and his friends go home. The rest of us get another
five months to live in horror before we're destroyed along with
everything else on October 21.

If you have a Family Radio station within listening range, do be sure to
tune into Open Forum sometime. It's become quite eerily entertaining, in
a Rain Man sort of way.

' The number 5, Camping concluded, equals "atonement." Ten is
"completeness." Seventeen means "heaven." Camping patiently explained
how he reached his conclusion for May 21, 2011.
"Christ hung on the cross April 1, 33 A.D.," he began. "Now go to
April 1 of 2011 A.D., and that's 1,978 years."
Camping then multiplied 1,978 by 365.2422 days - the number of days in
each solar year, not to be confused with a calendar year.
Next, Camping noted that April 1 to May 21 encompasses 51 days. Add 51
to the sum of previous multiplication total, and it equals 722,500.
Camping realized that (5 x 10 x 17) x (5 x 10 x 17) = 722,500.
Or put into words: (Atonement x Completeness x Heaven), squared. '
sigh ... and to think, people listen to this guy.
The 111 guy should try to start a cult. He doesn't sound any crazier
than this guy.

That's what sets man apart from the beasts. we're fucking stupid like
them, but we don't even have the sense to be happy about it.
