Well that's because you, me & the rest of us are all wicked sinners with unrepentant souls who'll have to face the "Beast" & his damned legions on the day of judgement !

I wonder if the right revered Rev, booked in with the Beast to make sure he was free last week-end ? Probably over at Euro Disney for a "Busmans holiday with the cohorts" making use of the pre season special I expect, apparently it's as close to the pits of Hell & eternal damnation as it's likely to get here on Earth. Or he 's probably lost the keys for the seals so couldn't turn up on time. Ah well, looks like Perdition & Hellfire have been put on hold for the time being, seems you just can't get those old fashioned decent Apocalypses like they used to nowadays ! (See, that's what happens when you outsource to an Indian call centre, should be Satanic jobs for Satanic workers !)

21st October is the third prediction for world destruction.

Since I've only got a few months left I'm off to really live on the edge by drinking more than one glass of red wine a day, eating Bacon Grill and smoking the odd cigar. I live in mortal dread of all those things which are CERTAIN to come back to haunt me such as using the Lord's name in vain, the relationships I've had out of wedlock and eating meat on a Friday.

Yes, of all the cock ups I've ever made I'm sure those are the ones that God ranks as punishable by death.

Oh what a joyous life it must be to be totally dominated by a single book.

I'm sorry to disappoint all you lucky to be alive Accywebbers, but Mr Camping has now apologised for making a mistake with the dates, apparently, after a recalculation, the world will now end on the 21 October, Mr Camping is very sorry if his little mistake cause anybody unnecessary problems

I am not forecasting the end of the world...
BUT .....
.....in the last week of Sept, amateur astromoners are forecasting global geological upheaval
due to an incoming dwarf star,(only visible using infra red), which will pass between Earth and the sun.

(allegedly)This dwarf star is being described as 'comet Elenin' by government astronomy sites in order to conceal the fact that it is not a small harmless lump of ice but actually has a mass the size of Jupiter (allegedly)

I do not know whether it is true - I am not an astromoner.

I suggest you get on with living, because, if true, there is nothing we can do to change it.
If it worries you, you need to work on your knowledge of what life and death are,
so that you won't fear it (or anything else for that matter)

Nice try for the doomsayers (and no disrespect to you, Margaret) but if a dwarf star for some bizarre reason decided to scythe through our system it would cause absolute chaos and would not simply surprise us all one morning. The planets would be pulled out of their orbits one by one and in order to get here by the end of September it would have to be moving at a collossal lick, something I wouldn't expect something the size of Jupiter to be capable of without a few ripples. I would be more mindful to consider that any astronomical body that moved in such a manner was either a comet or a meteor, stars just do not behave in this way.

Where do people get these crackpot ideas? An elementary understanding of physics debunks almost every single one of them without lifting a finger.

Ken, you want to be careful.... Next someone will say it's safe to fly a Jet aircraft through a volcanic dust cloud!!! Oh wait Ryanair's Mickey boy has done, even though the aircraft flew above the cloud.

This where I got the info - he displays data from Nasa in order to conclude what he says
YouTube - ‪ELEnin Dwarf Star Warning September 26, 2011‬‏

Well try this:

Between my post and yours you did not have time to watch the 14min video.
If you had, you would have noticed that the site you have snapshotted is referred to at length.

[Boeing Guy]

Anyone can upload a video full of bad physics. But as my mind allegedly
closed there is no point discussing this further.

Do you mean the Labour Party Manifesto ,or the Labour Party Rule book ?

[Boeing Guy]

Margaret, I take it when you say

dwarf star,(only visible using infra red)

, you are referring to a Brown Dwarf.
You see there are several classes of Dwarf Star.

Also the only known Brown Dwarf Star that is near to the size of Jupiter is
COROT-3b, it is transiting in a circular orbit around a F type star, which is 4.2568 days long in the constellation of Aquila.
Looks like reality has been distorted by a you tube video...

And while we are at it, recently there were internet reports of a Magnetic Pole Shift, happening on the 15th March 2011... Well seeing the Jet Aeroplane I fly references everything, including the Navigation system to Magnetic North I think I would have seen a change in the poles. Still waiting, anyone for Amero's?

I think he is hoping he will be dead by then and cant be held responsible for another miscalculation, i think his calc batteries need changing

I can remember being about 13 years old when one of these crackpots came up with a story like this....people were taking themselves up mountains and down to the depths of caves and it scared me witless........I was really, really frightened.
Maybe the teens of today are more streetwise, and perhaps didn't give it a thought.......but you don't know.
