    Of course you can, shove a feeding tube down its throat
    Tho' I've belted you an' flayed you,
    By the livin' Gawd that made you,
    You're a better man than I am, Gunga Din!

    People in a partying mood, including performing artists the Phenomenauts, gather in front of the closed Family Radio station offices of radio evangelist Harold Camping, to celebrate irreverently, the non-destruction of the world predicted by Camping, Saturday in Oakland.

    the fact that theyre all dancing out there makes it seem as if they actually did for a second doubt their own beliefs and are now so happy that the priest has been proven wrong... if not it cant be anything else but gloating and that would be just sad...

    This still cracks me up... it's so reminiscent of Sunday School growing up (Except for whatever reason; Catholic "Sunday School" Fell on a Wednesday).

    Apparently we are all going to get an explanation.

    The Christian radio host who predicted the world would end over the weekend said Monday he's ready to talk about why the apocalypse didn't arrive. [...] "I will have more to say tonight," said Camping, a retired civil engineer who previously maintained there was no possibility the Rapture would not occur at 6 p.m. Saturday. "I will be putting out a message in our broadcast." [...]

    Gunther Von Harringa, who heads a religious organization that produces content for Camping's media enterprise, said he was "very surprised" the Rapture did not happen as predicted, but said he and other believers were in good spirits.

    "We're still searching the Scriptures to understand why it did not happen," said Von Harringa, president of Bible Ministries International, which he operates from his home in Delaware, Ohio. "It's just a matter of OK, Lord, where do we go from here?"

    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    "The purpose of a university education for Left / Liberals is to attain all the politically correct attitudes towards minorties, and the financial means to live as far away from them as possible."

    I almost got Raptured. But then I found out that God doesn't allow WiFi in heaven, so I passed.

    Well, I'm still around. We don't have a rapture doctrine, anyhow, so it'd be pretty weird if we all got raptured.

    Bah, there was nothing wrong with their calculations. They're just sore they didn't make the cut.
