(ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) -- California preacher Harold Camping says) "his prophecy that the world would end was off by five months because Judgment Day actually will come on October 21."
(The independent Christian radio host said) "Monday the apocalypse will come five months after May 21, the original date he predicted."

(Camping says) "he felt so terrible when his doomsday prediction did not come true on Saturday that he left home and took refuge in a motel with his wife."
...along with all the Family Radio millions he suckered out of his cult members... er, I mean humble supporters.
Still, I guess all that cold hard ca$h should soften the blow of the Great Disappointment II eh, Harry-boy? The next five months should be perfect training to become fundie religion's equivalent of Burma's Aum San Su Kyi - in self-exile on some tropical tax-haven, post-one second after midnight, 21st October 2011.
Harold Camping = Jim Bakker. And he knows it.
Meanwhile, Harry-boy, enjoy your delivered food - pizza for example. With extra crow. Followed by dessert: a universe-sized piece of Humble Pie.

"Wow these guys are sure making alot of party dates for us. It's such a great theme but I feel it's already old."
D'you think Harry's getting kickbacks from the bar owners, for the 'Rapture Parties' organised on 21st May? ;)

@TGRwulf
"I see your game Camping. You'll keep pushing the rapture back until it fits up with Dec. 21, 2012."
Thank fuck for that. At least I'll be able to watch the 2012 London Olympics. [/sarcasm] As opposed to those who go along with the claim that the world will end before then; not taking into account the fact that the Mayan Long Count Calendar only refers to the end of the 13th Baktun, or 'Age'.

"Hey, Harry. I suggest that you read your Wholly Babble a bit closer. Particularly the part that details how to handle false prophets."
Frankly, the way things are going - or will go, post one second after midnight 21st October - being stoned to death will be the least of his problems. Once his location's known, on that day in October of this year, the more than infinite humiliation of having his residence surrounded by hordes of Nelson Muntz impersonators will literally be the Fate Worse Than Death; indeed, hopefully, that alone will be enough to kill him; he is 89.
