.....[and I feel fine].

it seems like every second week the world is going to end - I suspect Warner Brothers are managing the campaign and as always they are over-hyping and under-delivering.

BTW:  does it seem strange to you that religious zealots in the USA are putting up billboards in Australia?  Have Murmurs people in other countries noticed apocalyptic billboards like the one in the linked news item?

[stipeeyes]

There are people in downtown Philly giving out panthlets and actually collecting money.  Like if the world ends and you die why do you need money?  All of this is really ridiculous.  

I am starting to believe the scientific explanation to things more and more.

I've heard this drivel about today being the rapture a few months back. If you want to look at a website full of raging, foaming loonies check out a board called www.raptureready.com. Not sure if that is the correct URL spelling but it's some variation of it.
They are fundamentalist Christian end timers, and May 21, 2011 is the day we either go home to Jeebus in the sky or get sent to burn in eternal hell. Well, it's May 21 and unless  visiting murmurs on my computer in my front room is hell, looks like a non event. Unless we have to wait until it officially becomes May 22.  I am a bundle of nerves.
In any case, my daughter has told me we are going shopping for her prom outfit today. In other words, hell. But not eternal. We will buy the fucking thing after spending all day going from shop to boutique and back again, and then it will be business as usual.

The best thing about this, is there's an ad at the bottom of the page all about  making the most out of your investments. Why would you need money in heaven? Or come to that, hell?

    The Rapture Index categories explained

    The Purpose For This Index

    The Rapture Index has two functions: one is to factor together a number of related end time components into a cohesive indicator, and the other is to standardize those components to eliminate the wide variance that currently exists with prophecy reporting.

    The Rapture Index is by no means meant to predict the rapture, however, the index is designed to measure the type of activity that could act as a precursor to the rapture.

    You could say the Rapture index is a Dow Jones Industrial Average of end time activity, but I think it would be better if you viewed it as prophetic speedometer. The higher the number, the faster we're moving towards the occurrence of pre-tribulation rapture.

    Rapture Index of 100 and Below:  Slow prophetic activity
    Rapture Index of 100 to 130:     Moderate prophetic activity
    Rapture Index of 130 to 160:    Heavy prophetic activity
    Rapture Index above 160:        Fasten your seat belts

You mean flip flops surely? Thongs are panties that get jammed up in your ass crack. I suppose that would be appropriate for hell, but until I'm forced to wear them by satan or something I refuse. Actually satan can go fuck himself. I'll wear birkies.

[wagtail]

thongs are footwear here.

I would wear my gorilla feet, but I got expander-foam all over them and kinda ruined 'em. *sad face*

Also, do you think Michael is getting annoyed with all the [...and I feel fine] jokes??? -

This so reminds me of one of the stories in a film I watched a few weeks ago.  The Illustrated Man - Last night of the end of the world..  I pray to dear god that people aren't as gullible as Rod Steiger's character Karl.

Yeah, people here are making rapture jokes like there's no tomorrow..

[Milsean Cady]

I was annoyed that some people who annoy me didn't disappear.

How annoying.

It does not surprise me that relgious zealots from the states are putting their propaganda up all over the damn place. Idiocy knows no boundaries.
