Find 'em here: Your 2006 end of the world predictions...
2006:
--Michael Drosnin predicted in his book "The Bible Code II" that "the Bible code clearly states the danger in modern terms- 'atomic holocaust' and 'World War' are both encoded in the Bible. And both are encoded with the same year, 2006." Amazon.com visitors who review the book give it a rather low rating: 2.5 stars out of 5. 6
--Annie Stanton predicts that a 14.4 mile long asteroid will collide with the earth. Jesus will arrive and a 1000 year period of peace will start.
--According to an E-mail that we received, the writer believes that "666," the number of the beast mentioned in the biblical book of Revelation, is really a date: 06/06/06 or 2006-JUN-6. He expects the rapture and start of the tribulation on that date.
--According to the Sunday Times in England, a religious group called "The Family" anticipates the end of the world in 2006. "Members are said to be stockpiling food and planning to hide in caves in India."
--According to the Weekly world News for 2001-FEB-13, hydrogen bombs hidden in London, Washington and Tel Aviv will be detonated. This will be the start of the war of Armageddon

But we cannot forget #1 grand wizard kook-bag himself:

--1999 to 2009: Jerry Falwell predicted in 1999-JAN that Jesus could return within ten years. But before that can happen, he said that the Antichrist must appear. Referring to the Antichrist, Falwell said: "Is he alive and here today? Probably. Because when he appears during the Tribulation period he will be a full-grown counterfeit of Christ. Of course he'll be Jewish. Of course he'll pretend to be Christ. And if in fact the Lord is coming soon, and he'll be an adult at the presentation of himself, he must be alive somewhere today." Rabbi James Rudin of the American Jewish Committee suggested that Christians should be careful about making such comments. His said that Falwell's statement "plays into some latent and historical anti-Semitism from the past." Rev. Falwell later apologized for his comment.

1. Who cares?
If the end of the world happens exactly what are you going to do to stop it? This is just more fear tactics to keep the faithful in line and sending more money to the likes of Falwell. Falwell will protect them from the evil predicted by long dead prophets, most of them wrote this stuff after eating bad grains. Wheat and rye during wet years tend to have rot (ergot) which one of the side effects is hallucinations. It has since been proven that was what caused the problems with young people that lead to the witch burnings. Ergot btw is where LSD came from.

3. Yes, I know, Ergot when prepared correctly can be potent stuff...
I did it in college and wow, way better than street acid.

5. I care!
If the end of the world is coming, the last person I want spending my money is Jerry Falwell!

I will spend it myself, on myself, thank you for the warning Jerry.

Now, everyone who sends money to Jerry or Pat, or any of the charlatans, keep it, spend it on yourself. They don't have time enough to spend what they have now.

2. If you really want some good laughs....
watch the History channel. This week is Armageddon week all week long. there was one show on, I think Monday night that did a program about the "rapture" people. Last night was Nostradamus, 500 yrs later. I'm not sure what's on tonight but I'll probably crawl under the covers and watch it anyway.

4. Darn it, I got rid of my cable 8 years ago.
It was for the best. Now the only channel I can get is PBS. I'm happy with that.

6. Armageddon Tired Of This!
Armageddon tired of all of this talk about the end of the world as we know it. (And I feel fine...)
