I’ve got a poll running as you know, asking if Harold Camping should be sued for predicting the end of the world. Oddly enough, we have a lot of stupid people who say “yes.” Stupid? Oh yes they are. I just have to ask, back in the day if you bet something on a Jimmy “The Greek” prediction that the Vikings would beat the Steelers in the Super Bowl, obviously that didn’t happen, do you think you have the right to sue Jimmy “The Greek” and get your money back? Do you think you’re entitled to a do over? So in other words, you see nothing wrong with Welshing on a bet or a decision.

Did you bet on the Steelers in this past Super Bowl? So with that logic you should be entitled to sue and get your money back, right?

Enough of that. Now old Harold said he made a mistake on the date, and the world will really end on October 21st. Is anyone simple enough to believe that? Let me see a show of hands from all the special ed students that are going to give away all their possessions and money because Harold Camping said the world is going to end on October 21st.

Wow! That many? Okay, if you’re going to do that, give it to me. I’ll take it, and on October 22nd when the world hasn’t ended, I’m not giving it back, you don’t get a do over, and I won’t allow you to Welsh. I’ll be wealthier, and you will be SOL, wearing a dunce cap in the corner as a pauper collecting a welfare check, living in a flop house. My guess is nobody will sign their assets over to me.

The end is still near, radio preacher Harold Camping said in a broadcast Monday night, but the world will be around until Oct. 21.

Camping, the 89-year-old East Bay preacher who gained international fame with his prediction that the rapture would come at 6 p.m. Saturday, said that he misinterpreted the Bible and that May 21 was not really the end of the world but the spiritual beginning of the physical end.

“Were not changing a date at all; we’re just learning that we have to be a little more spiritual about this,” he said in a rambling 90-minute radio broadcast that was part sermon, part press conference. “But on Oct. 21, the world will be destroyed. It won’t be five months of destruction. It will come at once.”
