Harold Camping caused a hullabaloo with his assurance that the world would end at 6pm, May 21. 2011. Some people who believed him sold or gave away all their belongings, and I heard of one guy who blew all his money, expecting not to need any of it on May 22. If these folks believed Camping had an inside track with his calculations predicated on Bible info, then I am perplexed as to why they didn't beleve the Bible inself, where it says "No man knows the day or the hour."

And did no one pause to think "Well, Camping is like 89 years old--maybe he's just in the throes of senile dementia." Anyway, he's re-predicted the end for October.

Last night I happened to catch a show about how the end is coming December 21, 2012, calculated on the Mayan calendar. (Mayan or Aztec, I don't remember which.) A stone with inscriptions supposedly shows the Mayan calendar ends on that date--ergo, it's bye bye for us all. I am perplexed again about how modern people put so much faith in what was essentially stone age Mayans carving on a rock. I saw a cartoon once where a Mayan stone carver had used up all the surface on the "calendar" rock he was working on, laid down his tools, and shrugged his shoulders, saying "That's it--no more room."

Oprah Winfrey has hyped the end of her daily show over and over, and there are endless repeats. On the last show, at the end she she stood with her arms open wide, backlit as if she were a saint come to earth. What an ego! I'm tired of Oprah. I'm sick of Oprah. Go away quietly now "O" and stop hogging up television. (Yes, I could and do change the channel, but she messed up my favorite channel, Disc. Health Channel by buying it for her OWN and now there's no more DR.G. Medical Examiner etc.) No, it's Oprah Oprah Oprah. Go away!
