It's 11:36pm in Jerusalem.
According to Harold Camping, we only have 24 minutes to live. Any new signs and portents?

1. I dunno, do Jews get raptured?
I don't think they do, IIRC.

2. The word is it'll happen 6pm your local time ...
Why? Dunno, but that what's on the internet. And if you can't trust some random post from some online source ....

6. Camping says it happens on May 22nd for most areas
Starts 6pm local time; on May 21st for the west coast of the Americas, and then moves west. So when it crosses the International Date Line, it will be in May 22nd, and relatively few areas will have has their Scheduled Rapture. Unfortunately, mankind set the IDL at the wrong longitude to keep it neat. Of course, if God had directed the writers of the Bible to make it clear the earth is a globe (and told us where to stick the line), rather than the flat surface they hint at, the confusion would have been avoided. But it seems God was too busy inserting numerical clues to the Day of Judgement to bother with things like the basic shape of the earth.

7. For those lucky enough to still live under the Julian Calendar. . .
the Berbers in North Africa, and Mount Athos in Greece*, they'll have an additional two weeks or so to get their affairs in order.

(These are the only two groups I know that still live in Julian days.)

8. Let's hope
that Camping grifted enough off this to leave us alone for a while.
