Thanks for the heads up. That gives plenty of time for going over the guest list and figuring out the menu. Funeral Potatoes sound very appropriate for this occasion. No?
Isn't it a shame that the person who finally does make the correct prediction won't be able to reap any benefits from having done so?
Can anyone think of a way to make such knowledge pay off AFTER the event? If you were so pious as to not want to profit from this knowledge, it would probably mean that you wouldn't believe that you could have this knowledge, since the bible says no one will know the day of his coming.

It didn’t occur to me that we July kids will be missing our b’days. I better return my twin’s birthday gift before the receipt burns up in the apocalypse!
Whenever someone assures me that the world will end on date X, I tell them that even they don't believe it. Of course they assure me that they do. I tell them that I can prove that they don't really believe. So...
"How much money do you have in your bank account right now?" I ask.
"If you really believe that the world will end on date X, you will have no reason NOT to give me a certified check for that amount, payable on date X plus 3. Will you do that?
Of course they won't, and offer some kind of lame excuse. QED
Nobody! believes those predictions, not even the ones making them.
