May 21st and a sense of humor

[Mike]

Just read a great idea from a guy with an interesting sense of humor:
" I am asking everyone to do one thing on Sunday the 22nd. (if you are
still here) Take one old pair of underwear, socks, pants, shirt,
shoes, and place them in a small pile around your town."

I posted this to Facebook, and surprisingly many people had no idea
what this was about - which is actually a good sign. I referred them
to the following FAQ that will help explain it all:

On May 21, "starting in the Pacific Rim at around the 6 p.m. local time hour, in each time zone, there will be a great earthquake, such as has never been in the history of the Earth," he says.

Given that Wellington, New Zealand, should be on the leading edge of this Rapture wave, and that 6pm local time in Wellington is 1am here, there should be plenty to see by the time we meet up. ;-)

Gosh, I didn't know that earthquake epicenters were determined by time zones...  Learn sumpin new every day....

Why are you surprised?  Everyone knows that earthquakes are tightly controlled by the almighty who, by the way, uses our current calendar - which he invented.  It is just common sense.

[Clare Wuellner]

[forehead slap!]  Silly me!!

[carl West]

Here is a heads up for all you atheist, commie bastards - I am praying very hard, asking god to not destroy the earth - so, if the earth is still here on the 22nd you unbelievers will have absolute proof that god exists and prayers work. So there! What more proof could you ask for? Amen!  (I hope god does not mind changing his divine plan just for me, but every good Christian knows that praying real hard can change anything - almost anything, most of the time, well some of the time for sure, maybe it will work just this once, you never know with the mysterious workings of our savior)

Carl, the real question is: if you write an ironic post in comic sans,
does it negate the irony (like a double negative?)

Not hearing word one from all the atheists who went to the rapture party.
I guess they all got raptured up.
Isn't that JUST LIKE AN ATHEIST...to act more christian and to deserve Heaven more than a Christian does!!!!

At least some of us, actually only one other person and I, was raptured up.
You will be glad to know there is high speed internet access up here.

If I did the math correctly, rounding our current population of
6,966,838,700 (which is growing at a right so fast that we will have
added a few hundred before I finish typing this) to an even 7 billion
and calculating the percentage of people to be raptured which should
be less than 144,000, which is the number that can get in to heaven
total, but I will allow for the possibility none of us survives
armegeddon afterwards... So 144,000 = .002% of the population of
Earth. Now those that are raptured are the true believes in God who
avoid anything that God may consider a sin. So they probably don't
have computers with all that filthy porn out on the internet. They
probably would know better than to buy cars with all the people dying
in unjust wars that are actually for oil. For that matter they would
have to avoid all products that involve oil in the manufatcuring or
daily use, which includes things made of plastic. So these people
probably don't have phones. Most likely they are living simple lives
on farms. Due to time zones and such they could have gone in the dark
too. So maybe they raptured on up and no one noticed? Anyone check on
those Amish folks lately?

Just saying...
Still an Atheist.

Yeah, the party was a bust from the rapture point of view, except for
the comments about people leaving piles of clothing around to give the
impression. There was also talk of someone raking in tens of thousands
of dollars for a pet sitting service (non-refundable, of course).

The only thing we saw in the heavens that had "ears" was Saturn. :-)

Good food, good fun.
