IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD!...again, Part II

Back in May the delusional preacher Harold Camping predicted the world would end. When that didn't happen and he tried to explain his way out he then claimed that the end would come today, October 21, 2011. Lately though, Camping has been hedging his doomsday bet by saying the world will "probably" end today. While we wait for Harold's next non-event to take place, here's a sticker from the Camping-owned Family Radio.


Oakland, California-based Family Radio operates about 160 stations and translators across the country. WYFR is their shortwave station based in Okeechobee, Florida. Sadly, it broadcasts crazytalk throughout the world in 43 languages.

Boss's Day was started in 1958 by an insurance company secretary in Illinois. By 1979 Hallmark had made the holiday semi-official by starting to offer Boss's Day cards. I didn't realize what day it was until after coming home from work. Sorry boss.
