4. wikipedia on the "reasoning" for the may 21st date:
Camping teaches that the world will end May 21 2011<17> using the following reasoning:

According to Camping, the number five equals "atonement", the number ten equals "completeness", and the number seventeen equals "heaven".
Christ is said to have hung on the cross on April 1, 33 AD. The time between April 1, 33 AD and April 1, 2011 is 1,978 years.
If 1,978 is multiplied by 365.2422 days (the number of days in a solar year, not to be confused with the lunar year), the result is 722,449. (This, however, is a rounded number; taken precisely, the figure is 722,449.0716)
The time between April 1 and May 21 is 51 days.
51 added to 722,449 is 722,500.
(5 x 10 x 17)2 or (atonement x completeness x heaven)2 also equals 722,500.
The prediction was incorrect.

9. There's a phrase for that sort of silly mathematics
"number of angels that can dance on the head of a pin"

Trying to quantify things that are either completely unknowable, or naturally impossible, or both has always been folly.

17. Fuzzy math actually has some practical applications n/t
Religious numerology doesn't.

Wait, I take that back, Pythagoras actually built a religion around his theory concerning the length of a hypotenuse of a right triangle. I guess we could call 'humanism' a faith tradition, if we stretched the definition a bit.

13. why was the total squared?
(5 x 10 x 17)2


where is that 2 comming from?


It would make more sense to cube it since God is supposed to be a holy trinity.

19. That's bullshit
I can ping their web server, it's up and running.

They've just pulled their site so that the fleeced have to go elsewhere to bitch and moan about ass-fucked by Harold and Friends.

20. It's up now, and has been, off and on, for most of the day
I keep checking in to see if Camping's message has changed, but it's been the same all day:

Judgment Day
May 21, 2011
THE BIBLE GUARANTEES IT!
00 DAYS LEFT
