The End of the World On My Birthday?

This is not the way I'd like to celebrate my birthday.

Here's a piece at Salon.com on the end of the world coming next Saturday, which will be my 74th birthday.

Seems some religious nut job has cooked up a formula, based on his interpretation of some numbers in the Bible, that predicts the rapture and Armageddon on May 21, 2011. Apparently he also had predicted the end of the world back in 1994, and when it didn't happen he said he misinterpreted some numbers.

Figures don't lie, but liars do figure.

So all of those hordes of people who might have sent me presents now have an excuse not to.
But wait till next year:-)
