FINALITY OF THE MOMENT: The shuttle program is over
By the light of a waning moon, the shuttle Atlantis fell back to Earth Thursday, dropping out of predawn darkness to close out NASA’s 135th and final shuttle voyage, a long-awaited — and long-dreaded — milestone marking the end of an era for American manned space flight.
The end of the world?
In the wake of the recent prediction that the end of the world was upon us, Gabriel Griffin shares his thoughts on the matter. Remember that episode of the Simpsons? The one about judgment day, I think. In it, the Day of Reckoning has come.
Doomsday preacher Harold Camping, who incorrectly predicted end of the world, suffers stroke
The California radio minister who wrongly predicted the Rapture would happen last month has suffered a stroke. Doomsday preacher Harold Camping, 89, was rushed to a hospital after falling ill Thursday at his Alameda, Calif., home, the Oakland Tribune reported Sunday.
Doomsday Believer Leaves Everything to Family Radio
Doomsday might be on hold for a few months but the estate of Doris Schmitt will close in a few weeks, and Family Radio gets nearly all of it. Eileen Heuwetter, Schmidtt’s niece, and her sister will each receive $25,000, but the remainder of her aunt’s estate, hundreds of thousands of dollars, will go to Harold Camping’s enterprise.
False Prophets and Their Profits
Religious Hucksters do more than wheedle money out of their flock. They can destroy lives too. There ought to be a law. But there isn’t. So, religious hucksters like 89-year-old Harold Camping continue to operate monumental con-jobs that bring in multiple millions of dollars in donations from gullible people.
Harold Camping: Corpses Will Surface from Graves on Oct. 21 Doomsday
While President Obama and the rest of the nation spent Memorial Day paying tribute to American veterans, doomsday preacher Harold Camping predicted Monday that corpses of the “unsaved,” which includes those in the U.S. armed services, will be flung out of their graves and on the ground like “manure” on October 21.
Doomsayers deserve our ridicule
Despite two failed predictions, Harold Camping marches on. Harold Camping, the religious broadcaster who wrongly predicted Judgment Day, now says he doesn’t want to talk about that anymore. I’m sure he doesn’t. But I don’t believe he has received enough ridicule.
Tor and the End of the World
Tor is a service that helps you to protect your anonymity while using the Internet and allows you to circumvent Internet censorship. We already know that the government of China is behind lots of serious hacking of strategic US targets.
Doomsday economics
There are competing predictions about the end of the world. Nostradamus was never precise about the dates but Harold Camping was – twice. This nonagenarian owner of a multi-million dollar media empire set tongues wagging as the date for his latest prediction – Saturday, 21 May 2011 – came and went without incident. There were no reports of people suddenly taking off into the skies, defying the law of gravity. An earlier projection in 1994 failed because, according to Camping, he had made a computational mistake.
Harold Camping Earned his Christmas Present Early This Year: a Yap-Stuffer
Dear Santa: If you could, I need you to provide me a gift for a special person—the gift of knowing when and how to shut up. I won’t go into details, except that Camping developed quite a following, who sold off their worldly possessions and cashed out investment accounts, to give to Camping, to fund promotion of the event that would transport them to Heaven, while the earthly heathen riffraff were left to cook down in a slow crockpot of doom until the Earth ended for us on Oct. 21.
