Quote:

California preacher Howard Camping says his prophecy that the world would end was off by five months because Judgment Day actually will come on Oct. 21.

The independent Christian radio host said Monday the apocalypse will come five months after May 21, the original date he predicted.

Camping, 89-year-old retired civil engineer, says he felt so terrible when his doomsday prediction did not come true on Saturday that he left home and took refuge in a motel with his wife.

Rather than give his normal daily broadcast, Camping made a special statement before the press at the Oakland headquarters of the media empire that has broadcast his message...

This just keeps getting better. Someone is trying to rescue his credibility, really hard. Wait until he hears about the Mayan Calendar and its predictions.

Nazo · 23rd May 2011, 07:28 PM

October passes...
"The Mayans must have been right! Yeah, it ends then!"
And so on, and so forth.

AtmaWeapon · 23rd May 2011, 07:29 PM

These people are such a waste.

**Martin** · 23rd May 2011, 07:31 PM

Maybe this story ends the same way?

**Eric** · 23rd May 2011, 07:33 PM

Doesn't this remind anyone of that episode of The Simpsons where Homer calculates the exact date and time of the rapture with passages from the bible, only to get it wrong, then he figures where he went wrong in his calculations and he turns out to be right the second time, but no one believes him, so he's the only one brought to heaven in the rapture, then he's sent back down to earth to be with his family, but everything is normal again? 'Cause that's what this reminds me of.

October 21st. Be prepared. The day of rapture is near. o_o

starfish · 23rd May 2011, 07:57 PM

Oh so last saturday was an invisible judgement day....

Well honestly that is not the worst thing he has caught me doing.

507bro · 23rd May 2011, 08:05 PM

really? didn't he feel ashamed his prediction on the 21 is wrong?

GhostDog · 23rd May 2011, 08:20 PM

Man what are y'all even talking about? The rapture totally happened. But only for people who read Regretsy.

I mean.

Otherwise, how do you explain this? >:|

Eric, please tell me you seriously are not believing that. It's a cartoon.

And GhostDog, that's hilarious

Daryn · 23rd May 2011, 10:11 PM

Will I FINALLY get to see some cool zombie action happening in October then? Haha

Random Dent · 23rd May 2011, 10:16 PM

@GhostDog. That's just brilliant. heehee.

I do hope he gets his rapture. I mean, he is 89 years old, he's bound to kick the bucket any time now.

I can't wait for Halloween this year.

It will pass and life will go on, and everybody will laugh even harder at him and his third Judgment Day reversion. Any way isn't Judgment Day when Skynet Takes over the world with the terminators.

**Owen** · 24th May 2011, 06:21 AM

I'm reminded of a story I read a while back about a cargo cult who predicted that their lord would return from a volcano on a specific date. When it didn't happen, they pushed the date back. This happen about a half-dozen times, with the date getting pushed back by even longer periods of time each time, until the believers just shrugged and said he would return "eventually".

GoinStag · 24th May 2011, 06:35 AM

Haha he's wrong. The rapture did happen, but nobody was taken.

Connor22 · 24th May 2011, 06:35 AM

but this zombie repellant goes off in september!!! do you think if I asked him really sweetly would he bring it forward a couple of months?

GoinStag · 24th May 2011, 06:36 AM

And did anybody ever think of suing this guy? I mean, from I heard, people have given him shit-tons of money for shit that never even happened.

Z3ni · 24th May 2011, 06:53 AM

He didn't even predict it, he's just spreading rumours like a school girl, plus May 21st is suppose to the rapture, where theres 5 months of disaster and anti christ shows his arse on October, so I heard.
