So who thinks they will be raptured on Saturday, or knows someone who thinks they will be? I for one know I will be reporting for work Sunday night, as will everyone I know

(Not flamebaiting, just curious because a few people at my job are actually taking this very seriously)

I highly doubt it, but I was surprised to see some of the group that's stating it has billboards for it over here as well.

It'll be Sunday here if it's GMT. I'll be getting my drink and snack on just in case. I do that every Sunday...just in case.

Inside your mind, corrupting the pathways

Are you sure you don't mean "Raptored"?

There is a very real chance that Raptors could stalk out of their eons old hiding places and lay waste to the world of man.

But now we know their plans they will move more quickly to striARGH!

Well billboard says Sat 21st here too, so starts early here I guess. I'll let you know how it goes... from the future.

It's exactly the same as this one.

I will probably be asleep and catch it all on Rapture +1.

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

Can you TiVo it and just catch up with the Rapture on Sunday? You know what, they should actually wait till Sunday. You will have a better chance of a congregation on Sunday instead of Saturday. Most of the church goers will be busy mowing their grass Saturday.

I'd be surprised, to say the least.

Another mission, the powers have called me away. Another chance to carry the colours again. My motivation, an oath I've sworn to defend. To win the honour of coming back home again.

It would be freaky if exactly 144,000 Jehovah's witnesses died on Saturday.

I don't fear the end of the world, as long as I'm safe inside my CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT.

Seriously though, while I wouldn't be concerned if Saturday was judgement day, I don't think that the apocalypse is this weekend.

Sounds like as good an excuse as any. I mean come on, when the world is ending we have better things to do than work.

I heard rumours, Matt Ward, in-between working on the 2nd edition Bible, and Codex: Necrons (the secret version, that no one knows about) actually wrote 87% of Shakespeare's work....
