Probably wrong to mock but...
...perhaps it's just as well that, in spite of spending millions of dollars advertising it, Harold Camping's "Biblically guaranteed" prediction that the world was ending at six pm on Saturday seems to have been wrong. After all if it had ended on Saturday how would all those earnest young people on Sunday's "The Big Question" have been able to debate the question "Is religion on its way out?"

The thing about these doomsday predictions is that eventually somebody's got to be right. You can guarantee that as the sun expands into a red giant and gobbles up the earth there'll be some Jehovah's Witness gleefully jumping up and down yelling "I told you so!"
