Feel free to leave your suggestion for the "thought' balloon below (nasty, humorless, and tasteless ideas won't be posted). I'll begin:

"I think I got punked by a false prophet..."

"Matthew 24:42, Mark 25:13"

Enough said.

It's 21 May 9:48am here in Melbourne Australia. No reports about people being raptured on the news. Does that mean that only Americans will be raptured?

Oh, man! What I thought were the numerals of the date of Judgment Day, combined with the sum of the numbers of the eschatological verses from Ezekiel, were actually this week's Powerball winners!

Is this Heaven? No, it's Iowa.

I knew it! I DIVIDED by the number of trumpets in Revelation when I should have multiplied...

I'm with rd on this one.

The guy on the sign is squatting, not kneeling. And as someone once pointed out, if a man's wife says, "He's hunkered down in the back yard," you might drop in to visit with him, but if she says, "He's squatting in the back yard," tip your hat and keep on going.

...my wife and the neighbor man both disappearred...hmmmm...and she said they were raptured?!?!?

Maybe mooning the boss when leaving work wasn't such a good idea.

Posted by: Subvet | Saturday, May 21, 2011 at 02:07 PM

I think I forgot to carry the two.

I repent, Lord Jesus, of my sin of scandal in sowing hysteria and making Christians look like fools; O Lord, if only I could hear Your voice, absolving me, setting me free for union with Yourself and Your holy people. No, no, I'm no Catholic, I'll just assume that you forgive me. Now, Lord, please tell me the real date of the Rapture! I just know I'm saved, I can't wait!

I decided to express my complete lack of confidence in the Camping prediction by searching on the Web for evidence of forthcoming translations of the classics with publication dates still so distant that the books have not yet been assigned an ISBN number. I learned that Sarah Ruden has a Guggenheim Fellowship for a new translation of The Orestia (search at Google for "Sarah Ruden" Orestia Guggenheim) , and Edward McCrorie is working on his translation of The Iliad (noted on Amazon).

I am not in touch with either of these distinguished scholars, but I strongly suspect that neither abandoned his or her translation on the basis of the Camping prediction.
