You now have less than twenty-four hours to prepare for the end of the world...but wait, wasn't it supposed to happen in 1001AD? Or was it 1844?

You might have seen conspiracy theories in your newsfeed that the world will end today. Where did the idea come from, and what do scientists have to say about it?

The date has to do with the eclipse, but it's only the latest in a string of similar theories, all of which have been proven false.

David Meade, who wrote a book called, "Planet X - The 2017 Arrival," claims that on Sept. 23, a sign would come that "Planet X" also known as "Nibiru" will have an encounter with Earth, changing the world as we know it.

Editor's note: Meade clarified to the Washington Post that he believes a "sign" will appear on Sept. 23 signaling the beginning of the end, though this would not be the exact date of the apocalypse.

Meade's claim gained popularity from a bizarre 4-minute YouTube video that includes a seven-headed dragon, a prediction of a "heavenly sign" over Jerusalem and a depiction of the supposed rapture. The video, called "September 23, 2017: You Need to See This," has more than 2 million views.

“There’s a sucker born every minute” is a gross underestimate.

There is a sucker born again every minute.

I can't count how many of these I've been through.

I think I have enough beer and popcorn!

I think I will hold off on paying my Visa and Mastercard bill.

There may indeed be an astronomical calamity "sometime", and that time may be before the sun blows up. But here's the thing: Jesus will not show up. There may be earthquakes, floods, fire raining down from the sky- but (and here I repeat myself) JESUS WILL NOT SHOW UP!!!!

I hope you get my point. Thank you.

Have a nice trip! (Yes, I will take care of your dog when you leave.)

So, should I do my laundry tomorrow or what?

Well, you don't want to be raptured with dirty underwear, am I right?

For your convenience, I will forward your last-minute tithing donations to the appropriate authorities so you can avoid being burned alive.

Actually, there were 5 stooges.

I will know that Ray Comfort has been raptured when I see a pile of clothing and a banana.

The story is from 2017. Nothing about it talks about 2023.

I don't understand why you're bringing this up now.

They "predicted" it years ago, and they will predict it again...and again...and again...

But...I put it on my calendar! Did God cancel?

I'm sure it's biblical...

If you make Rice Krispies Treat on Rapture Day, and you leave the marshmallows on the burner too long when you're melting them, you end up with Toasted Rice Krispies Treats, and thus no need for a campfire.

Well, technically, ghawd still has three and a half hours to rapture the French, but perhaps the Rapture only applies to the US? I have to think that the infidel French would be poorly represented among the raptured and even those who were caught up in it would probably turn out to be very annoyed and fractious in heaven... and they'd complain constantly about the food... Ghawd would definitely regret it.

There is also the probability that the rapture would turn out to be a case of good riddance for those left behind. Just think of all the awful people it'd get out of the way.

I'm sure Ghawd loves the French (and various hangers-on), but can he seriously be expected to enrapture a people who's national emblem is a chicken?

Think of the humiliation. He wouldn't be able to show his face at the Gods-R-Us convention and rodeo for millennia to come.

Rapture seems like a lot to go through to get out of attending church on Sept. 24th. Easier to just skip church.

Now it is 8:34 p.m. and the rapture didn't happen.

I knew it wouldn't of course. I can't believe I ever believed that the end was near or whatever.

I was already raptured. I only came back because I forgot my keys.

In what time zone? It's 11:07 p.m. here.

One hour and fifty-nine minutes to go (from my location). I'll keep you all poste


Note to all: This is slskipper's wife. Apparently slskipper suddenly vanished. That means that Jesus is in the eastern time zone.

Haven't seen him! Of course, we are too busy dealing with a tropical storm here. I'll bet even Jesus doesn't want to deal with that.

Oh no, I missed it!

If you are reading this, you were Left Behind.

And your hand perfectly fits a banana.

Ah, shucks, I won't have my Sunday best because I can't get my suit back from the dry cleaner until the 25th.

It's the 26th...and bupkiss
