Yes, Halo is the only accurate prediction of the future indeed.

Guess hes wrong seeing as its the 13TH!!! Besides, the world has to live long enough for Halo to come true.

So I rolled into my office this morning.. only to see a crater. Luckily I plugged directly into a satellite only to see that most of the midwest has been destroyed. I think he was right.

I’m going to go scrounge up a cockroach souffle.

Well, 6/12 has come and gone, and it doesn’t look like there was a nuclear war. PROPHECY FAIL!

We’ll start a nuclear war!

No nuclear war yet (isn’t that shocking?). Only about ten hours to go until 6/13.

Anyone notice that that is the day after the new iphone release? Nuclear War is caused by shortages of the iphone.

Ummm bummer it will be the 12th in Oz before it is in Dumbfuck city in Texas.

I will stay up past 12 and if still here then will post an AOK. No post means duck and cover when it hits the 12th in your neck of the woods folks.

YES I go back to school on the 13th… now I don’t have to!
RESULT!
Do you think I could get away with not turning up by using the end of the world as an excuse? It’s worth a try…

Should we be worried about one of these cults having a stockpile of nerve gas somewhere like Japan’s Aum Shinrikyo cult, or am I being a little bit paranoid?

Geeze, can’t he keep any secrets? Now, it’s not going to surprise and we’ll have to reschedule the whole blasted thing!

I’ll bet his followers get through one truck load of rations then die for eating all the radiated food. Has he bothered to study not just what you need to survive, but where it must be stored?

Ya, but does he know what time on Thursday?

Seriously tho, why is this on network news? Compared to what else is going on in the world, this is like reporting jaywalking.

Always comes true for Jehovah’s Witnesses too…. This guy is my idle. Not because he’s a delicious pro(ph)fit, but because he has watchtowers and amazing quantities of guns. Hawt.

can be arranged – just call the russians. they seem to have a stockpile of that stuff still lying around. and with a bit of *ahem* financial aid, i’m sure that date can be held.

in all seriousness though: lunatics like this have been around since the beginning of time – i wonder what He is getting out of this financially or otherwise?

@shawnisboring that was my first thought too! “Damn, if the world ends I won’t get to play MGS4…couldn’t they delay doomsday for about a week?”

The bible says that if a prophet prophesies something that doesn’t come true, that that prophet is NOT of God. (paraphrased)

So friday we will find out if they are from God or Satan.

hmmm

Apparently, the followers have to buy their supplies at inflated prices from a company owned by Hawkins.

I don’t know what he’s going to do with all that money if he actually thinks the world’s going to end.

The End? I can’t wait!!

Pros: If June 12, is the official…
…I got dibs on Florida.

Cons: I’m going to miss: The Hulk, The Happening, The Dark Knight, and most important, Harry Potter.

Actually this idiot has been predicting this over and over for the last few years, moving the date or changing the meaning of the prediction each time it doesn’t come true. It’s amazing that he has any followers left when he’s wrong EVERY SINGLE TIME. I would quote all the dates here, but I just don’t care enough to spend the time You can read about it in Wikipedia.

Nice, that’s my Mom’s birthday and I’ve been looking for something to get her. Are gask masks one-size-fits-all or do I have to ask her? That’s always so awkward.

I find that it’s always good to schedule nuclear war weeks ahead. It prevents conflicts.

Back in 1998 — as a lark — I noted down the predictions of Web ‘psychic’ Elizabeth Joyce, and held on to ‘em until the end of the year. There were some doozies: The Iraqi poison-gas attack on Israel! Giant volcanoes exploding all over the Pacific! An earthquake inundating the East Coast! Bill Clinton’s resignation! Robert Duvall winning an Oscar!

About five percent of her ‘prophecies’ panned out. (Mostly Oscar picks.) And she’s predicted Doomsday every year since.

It was a valuable learning experience. I take any prophecy of the end of the world very calmly nowadays.
